Black Thought - Thorn Or A Rose lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Stephen Marley] We come from so far, and life is full of surprises Just know I'll never change, no i'll never change No matter the circumstances, though this road can be demanding I'll always be the same, always be the same Never lose sight of who you are, temptation comes from near and far Wounds heal but leave a scar Make sure from the start, its from your heart [Chorus: Stephen Marley] Because didn't you know, that the higher you go It's the more you'll expose, if you're a thorn or a rose Because didn't you know, that the higher you go It's the more you'll expose, if you're a thorn or a rose [Verse: Black Thought] Yo We're all products of the same stem, same blood, and same skin Same ghetto flower growing from the same pavement Rising to the challenge of this world and trying to stay in it Paying tears and sweat, paying dues and paying rent Never shall I stumble I stay on the same wavelength Yeah the game is savage yo it's primitive its cavemen Only way to save men and free them from enslavement Start to over stand each other like a native language Guiding one another down this road full of changes Although its full of dangers we got to be courageous Let the vibes spread and make your bravery contagious Know you're going through the same book but different pages People can be so vain, hustling can be so pain-ful And make you feel like all you do is work for no gain But before it bottles up the flames like propane Inhale and exhale, no stress and no strain [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
