[Intro]

Yeah, on some dice rose shit

I lost relationships with ones I'm close with

Always thought of you as the one to grow with

Never thought that I would be lonely stressin' this rose shit

[Bridge]

But I know you fade away, and I know I been away

But you don't need to replace

I'll always be here, no need to be near girl

[Verse]

Acting defensive and shit

Like I ain't help you through the times you hated life and shit

Like my shoulder wasn't the rest to help you fight this shit

Imma be here to help you out and share the light and shit

Fuck it I'm in it for longevity, everybody belittled you then except for me

It's alright I expected she'd be upset with me

But I don't mind I'm so persistent in when I live with me I never let it get to me

Twenty seconds in and I'm still feeling drowsy

Thirty seconds in and it's already cloudy

Free lil Bobby, free lil Shmurda, free that nigga Rowdy

Miss my moms, I miss my dukes, I miss my cousin Ally

Yea, think the unexpected

In terms of failure they all applauded I still feel neglected

You was the one that made me strong and made me feel accepted

But when you smokin' it's so much I think I leave a message

I mean what's the probability, that you can go out and find somebody as real as me

I don't think that shit is easy at all

Not a lot of niggas can help you get the things and evolve

Not a lot of niggas can tell you that they there for the cause

Not a lot of niggas gon be there when you weak and you fall

Not a lot of niggas gon be there stay around and evolve when you down and you feeling that the ones gon be there at all

Yea, but now your heart deceitful

You ain't learn from your first mistakes and then you made a sequel

You telling me that you off and you said I'm dead and evil

But I done heard a lot worse come out from much better people

Feel like D Wade I carry the heat whenever the keys play

Never gave a fuck about what he say

90 on the freeway

These niggas tryna bury me these days

As momma said God gave 'em too much leeway

Way too much free space, she gotta apply the pressure for cheese sake

And keep your pockets fat I won't delude I make it three ways

And lately I been into fuck my life and let me free fade

Cuz I promise it feel like an LSD maze

Shit I'm not really suicidal, but I don't mind death, I feel like death is less assured to let my mind rest

But then my fam in reality makes me snap out, but if somebody touch my family i spazz out

Cause I know one day that Lil Daij gone have to grow up

When my brothers need me imma have to show up

And when my momma call me imma pick the phone up and tell her don't worry 'bout it imma pick us back up yea

That's how it goes when you was forced to grow up younger

While I was shedding tears the kids was out enjoying summer

I was walking to the money turned myself into a runner

I was only 9 years old but I was plottin' on the Hummer, shit

Not for me, for my momma cuz I know she like that

Got these demons on my fucking back and it's so hard to fight it

There's a spark of genius right inside you just dig deep and find it

Had to draw the future for the past but then I never-mind it

I grew up fast with a purpose

Momma told me fear no man it ain't no soft in the circus

Especially when you a nigga can't rely on those surgeons

Just remember don't sign your life away in devilish cursive

And when you come back and hear the shit that I'm saying

I hope that it sparks something inside you to keep replaying

I hope that you see the picture I painted, vivid displayin'

And know that I'm 17 but I'm 30 what I'm portrayin'

My conversation is old cuz I grew up fast and I'm blazin'

I'm just a rose and I rose out the ghetto truly amazing

How you could turn something bad into good with little explaining

And everybody around you is telling you that you changing

Purple-hearted
