Mos Def - Roses lyrics

rate me

<BR>

When I'm down, I just draw some roses<br>

On a pretty piece of paper<br>

With my recipe open<br>

So halfway through, I feel so much better<br>

I imagine happiness, and it runs right to me, such amazing beauty<br>

You don't have to, cut up no roses<br>

Please just leave them living<br>

Got my pencil, got pretty paper<br>

Please don't worry we're forgiven<br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus:]</i><br>

I have found, just the perfect feelin<br>

Finally cause I'm grateful<br>

I can feel your spirit, comin closer on me<br>

It is grand, just to be reminded<br>

Reminded of the good things<br>

Living in a new day, that no one can tear down<br>

You don't have to, cut up no roses<br>

Please just leave them living<br>

Got my pencil, got pretty paper<br>

Please don't worry we're forgiven<br>

<br>

Yellow for friendship, red for love<br>

Black for the universal stars above<br>

Pink buds that I bought her on Valentine<br>

She said it was forever then she changed her mind<br>

I said a little prayer then I cleared my eyes<br>

Cause the ? <br>

Started off with a oget, natural poget<br>

I ain't Picasso but that ain't important<br>

Faith, smart dude never graduated high school<br>

Stay tuned I'm a show you how my art move<br>

Shape and dimension flow and extension<br>

Symmetry shade, blowin out the frame<br>

Sign off my name Dante when I'm finished<br>

Put it to your memory for permanent exhibit<br>

Love, hard work and it's worth every minute<br>

Abstract is still life real life kinetic<br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus]</i><br>

<br>

Got my pencil, got pretty paper<br>

Please don't worry we're forgiven<br>

You don't have to, cut up no roses<br>

Please just leave them living<br>

<br>

When I'm down, I just draw some roses<br>

On a pretty piece of paper<br>

With my recipe open<br>

So almost through, I feel so much better<br>

I imagine happiness, and it ran right to me, such amazing beauty<br>

Got my pencil, got pretty paper<br>

Please don't worry we're forgiven<br>

You don't have to, cut up no roses<br>

Please just leave them living<br>

<BR><BR>
