Dave East - Like A Rose Lyrics

(4:46 in the morning)
One day I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose (New York City)
Stand on what I'm worth (uh)
I could never sell my soul (yeah)
(Bigger than rap nigga) never know
Inside me I just pray it never shows
Pray it never shows
Pray it never shows

One day, I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose
Stand on what I'm worth and I could never sell my soul
For the ones that deserve the life that they would never know
So much pain inside me, I just pray it never show
I just pray it never show
One day, I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose
Stand on what I'm worth and I could never sell my soul
So much pain inside me, I just pray it never show
For the ones that deserve the life that they would never know
They would never know
They would never know

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you 'bout to win
Sometimes it's on you, it is not within
Diss my dead homie, gave they block a spin
No registration, I just hope I don't get stopped again
I'm tryna get my life right where I want it at
Remember they cut off my lights, like, where the warning at?
Uh, sometimes you die, sometimes you get to live
Sometimes you might be homeless, sometimes you might get a crib
Sometimes they hate, sometimes they love you, that's just what it is
Sometimes you gotta figure out just how you 'bout to build, for real
I caught the chills in the summertime
Promethazine fucked up my stomach, ah
Prayed above like every night, "Just keep me hungry, God
I'm not complacent with my blessings, know I want 'em God"
Every race lately, I'm stressing, I don't know the odds
When I don't know which way to go, now I just go with God
When I don't know which way to go, now I just go with God
When I don't know which way to go, now I just go with God

One day, I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose
Stand on what I'm worth and I could never sell my soul
For the ones that deserve the life that they would never know
So much pain inside me, I just pray it never show
I just pray it never show
One day, I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose
Stand on what I'm worth and I could never sell my soul
So much pain inside me, I just pray it never show
For the ones that deserve the life that they would never know
They would never know
They would never know

Impossible was my mission
Tom Cruised it in some Gucci shoes
Roof on the 'Rari translucent, we got used to losing
We all got a vice, it depend on what you abusing
Never took advice from niggas not selling it, they was using
From my bedroom window, I heard shooting
Made me contemplate my life and all the lives niggas was losing
It's a sad story
Never been nowhere but your projects, that shit get mad boring
Prepare to lose your life, he pulled up with a mask on him
Before COVID
Them shawties in my hood, they ain't never respected broke shit
Gave my uncle 1500, that nigga smoked it
Reminiscing 'bout my homies that died, I'm by the ocean
See me in the streets, they just know

One day, I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose
Stand on what I'm worth and I could never sell my soul
For the ones that deserve the life that they would never know
So much pain inside me, I just pray it never show
I just pray it never show
One day, I'ma grow
Plant me in the dirt and watch me blossom like a rose
Stand on what I'm worth and I could never sell my soul

Watch me blossom like a rose
Watch me blossom like a rose

Blossom like a rose
