Honey Cocaine - Dear Luv lyrics

rate me

Acting like if you walk by on a street

And you’re walking on concrete

And you saw a rose growing out of concrete

Even if it had messed up petals

And it was a little...to the side

You would marvel at just seeing a rose growing through concrete

As a youngin all I had was a dream

Rapping to myself as my mama used to scream

Papa getting violent and he beating her again

They just feeling stressed cause they tryna pay the rent

Papa you a g though you did wrong

Mama you an angel cause you stayed strong

Papa it’s alright we have weak moments

Mama you a soldier cause you keep holding

But some days we ain’t have shit

And some nights I was asking

Why we so poor all my friends not?

Just jealous of what my friends got

I was hungry and you fed me love

Damn, you gave me yours and it wasn’t enough

Yet, I took it all and went out a craze

You made it feel like home and without a place

Working like slaves and I’m so sorry

I’m grateful for the things you done did for me

Coming home from school disrespecting

Acting like I ain’t have blessings

Damn mama, that cancer won’t get you

if you tryna to go won’t let you

A careless ass kid but I’m tryna change it

I just need to tell you I appreciate it

Acting like if you walk by on a street

And you’re walking on concrete

And you saw a rose growing out of concrete

Even if it had messed up petals

And it was a little...to the side

You would marvel at just seeing a rose growing through concrete

As a youngin all I had was a dream

You was my brother, my hero, my team

I was down for you, all you did was sell

I was growing up, while you was in and out of jail

Waiting at the court room all of us silent

You was never home, you was always so violent

How you think I felt when I visited the prison

Like where my brother at why my partner gone missing

I was gone distant, but that was just hurt

From all those nights, those fights, those words

Shit we used to argue all the time, I hated you

And witnessing your drug dealing, I hated too

It was my birthday and there’s some next shit

All those times you got your ass arrested

Family stressing, I’m surprised you ain’t dead

From a life of crime and the war with the feds

How you thought bout what you put me through? Huh

And all the things I had to do for you

Like deal with the people who spoke your name

Like this bitch who disrespected you, I broke her frame

But it’s okay, I’m your baby sis

And some day I just may be rich

And I got you, I ain’t gotta say it

I just want for you to tell me you appreciate it

Acting like if you walk by on a street

And you’re walking on concrete

And you saw a rose growing out of concrete

Even if it had messed up petals

And it was a little...to the side

You would marvel at just seeing a rose growing through concrete.
