J.Lately - Roses lyrics

rate me

Feat. Grynch

(Verse)

I remember the look on her face, lost her dad

I remember the look on her face

After service, she was scared to just look on her plate

Wonder who the hell could even cook on the day

Who's goin' next, who's got a date with the after-star

I look at the stars and wonder where they all at tonight

You must be out there, must be out there blinded by city lights

Do my best to remember through all these busy nights

(Verse)

Momma raised me, daddy did to, they all loved me, family's not an issue

If I can see the blessin' in that thought, nigga

Cause all my friends, they weren't so lucky,

Learn quick, life isn't just picket fences and pockets

But the grass would be greener if we just let it

Remember, you know yourself, stay focused on where you headin' at

(Hook x2)

Don't stop now, never give up x2

Take a second, smell the roses x2

(Verse)

Chill and take a deep breath and then exhale

Walkin' down the red life, I'm just tryna exhale

Along the way, took a couple steps, fell into the gamper

Parolin' the middle finger to anyone who say I chit and went

Despite yo past, you can find a better way today

Keep yo light lit, don't let it burn out and fade away

Aye, some people tell me, John, you so nostalgic

Thinkin' bout my youth, sometimes I wanna get up out there

But the present's a present, yeah, that's no lie

So is the future, gettin' started on this long ride

Yeah, I was alright, shifting gears and get on tours

No time for leavin' those ignored, gotta keep the hope restored

If something's wrong with ya home, and the grass is greener on the other side, shit, then water your own

Get all in the zone, talk for sake potential and just get it right

Keep it pushin' till the wheels come off and never stop

(Hook x2)

Don't stop now, never give up x2

Take a second, smell the roses x2
