Wyclef Jean - Glow Of A Rose lyrics

Chorus: And if my life is like the dust Uh, uh, that hides the glow of a rose What good am I? (The glow of a rose) Heaven only knows I was told no good deed goes unpunished So I'm sitting here thinking is my name tarnished? Public perception is everything Even the one calling' face the crucifixion So who am I? (I, I, I, I) I got the bunch of kids that's ready to die (die die die) Like it launches on the other side (side side side) But I rather see a million march than see a million genocide. But when he wakes up, he take off, he wanna get kicked up He got the scheme a**, he ready for sick up sponsored links Look at his face, he got blood in his eyes The SWAT they pull up and put 3 in the side He's there before a G need an alibi Better yet he need a lawyer conquering on his side Down at the west side, At the house, blue wearing black and they throwing up gang signs Don't it feel good to see all the gangs in the same place? We might have different colored flags but we the same race Mention the government with the same face, 75% incarcerate! Chorus: And if my life is like the dust (like the dust) Uh, uh, that hides the glow of a rose What good am I (good am I)? (The glow of a rose) Heaven only knows I was told that my flesh will turn back to dust So while I'm lying on this bed there's a few things we should discuss I know I haven't been the best man, But I was tempted in the garden of Eden by the serpent. But I'm your man for mouth to mouth resuscitation And if you need blood, call me transfusion! I'd rather be carried by six than' this your love so honest She looked in my eyes and say, 'don't mistake my kindness for weakness!' Next day wake up and the music in the street Peer pressure to sniff c**aine, ecstasy, molly Sure I felt.. one night trapped in the devil's road And I got family member in rehab, trying to kick the habit in coke, yeag! So when I said permanent and permanent, permanent one That's cause I came from the ghetto, ain't a vision of one So ' genetic son, you're my inspiration We gonna live past cremation! Chorus: And if my life (if my life )is like the dust (yeah) Uh, uh, that hides the glow of a rose (glow) What good am I (what good am I)? Heaven only knows [Outro:] Let me play the guitar like it's my last day on Earth!
