[Verse 1: Shahroz]
Woke up this morning, I got my prayer on
Crack of dawn, i'm yawnin' but gotta stay strong
No tears fallin, so jigga you made that song cry
One mixtape down, now i'mma make this song rise
For all my people, we treatin' equal, I can't lie
I see the good and the evil in all of your eyes
[Chorus: Shahroz]
See that rose in the garden, that's for me
Started off with a dollar and dream
Tryna open up doors for my team
Praise Allah for allowing me to breathe
Cause I don't know where i'd be
Yeah I don't know where i'd be
I need you smiling next to me
Oh
I got a rose up in the garden
I got a rose up in the garden
[Verse 2: Shahroz]
Newer days, that's some sunny livin'
I'm k**in' hooks like i'm Sonny Liston
Yeah, I always wanted to be Vince Carter
Flying over 7'2 French quarters, Uh
Given the problems, I been through it all
On top of the mountain, they watchin' me fall
I been through pain, I been trapped in my mind
A gift and a curse, at similar times
Given the sickest, i'm spittin' these lyrics
I'm thinkin' about my purpose
Like is it really worth it? I done lost relationships
But I do it for the kids, music they can vibe with
Got a moralistic message
Rep the star with the crescent
Got Rameez on the keys
And we pushin' hit records
If I die before I make it
Let my music get me heaven
If I die before I make it
Let my music get me heaven
Yeah, I got a rose up in the garden
I got a rose up in the garden
[Outro: Rameez]
I got, I got
I got, I got it, you know
I got, I got
Got another rose up in the garden
