Cyhi The Prynce - Flower In The Addict lyrics

[Verse 1:] SMH Records Get ready Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We the future Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, I'm the rose that rose in a dark room Hieroglyphs from a lost tomb Telling us that the end is about to start soon If the sun don't shine then we all doomed These record labels won't let my art bloom They'd rather go and sign these so called goons But most of them cartoons And the radio is f**ing up my car tunes I'm just riding, burning gas, blowing car fumes Tell the sharks that I'm sharpening the harpoon Huh, I'm a tenth grade drop out And they asking me to dumb it down I tell them I'm smart enough I'm just being honest now Born from a town where the cowboy is ecstatic Where it's all about your power and your status I guess I'm just a flower in the attic [Chorus 1:] I've got one flower I've got one flower in the attic I've got one flower I've got one flower in the attic I've got one flower I've got one flower in the attic [Verse 2:] Precious lord, take my hand To overcome this, it's going to take strength God, I didn't finish college, got a backstreet degree So as I wade through the water, watch over me My stepfather can't read, mama got one lung And bills tend to weigh in with a social income And rap where I'm from, there's tax on that It brings me down so, lord, I got problems I put it off for my kids, and motivation like this [?] Let's get this sh** clear Nappy roots is my lifeline Say things to keep me in my right mind Just at the right time Keep the wind at my back, and a face full of sunshine Punch the clock, rise till quitting time I've seen a lot of things go wrong [Chorus 2:] I just want mine [x3] Wasn't out there [x3] Oohh Wasn't out there [x3] Oooh [Verse 3:] Yeah, it's like a flame Secluded in the dark That's me, alluding to the arts See, we came from a luminous park My sunshine turned to rain and abuse from the start I graduated from the school of argue Already know to tell The world drained me of life, I turned pale And though I tried to put sand in the bucket I never could afford me a rubber or band so man, f** it I'm a lost cause playa If it wasn't for rap, I'd be a f**ing with the cops out there Heavy metal Glock all slayer Can't afford a drown, hit you for a quarter pound broad day What guitar player ever hit chords without struggle You wouldn't know what rift to play So consider what you fear and loathe to be a gift, that's it Just don't let your talent drift away Everything that shine, ain't bright And everything that glitter, ain't gold Just water me a flower only bloom when it's sunny outside And they lie, don't believe what you're told I came through from the struggle [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
