J.Lately - Roses lyrics

[Verse 1: J.Lately] 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 Asking who the hell could even just cook on today Who's going next, who got a date with the afterlife I look at the stars and wonder where they're all at tonight You must be out there, must be out there, blinded by all these city lights Do my best to remember through all these busy nights Mommy raised me, daddy did too Evan loved me, family's not an issue If I can't see the blessing in that f** me Said if I can't see the blessing in that f** me Cause all my friends they weren't so lucky Learned quick life isn't just picket fences and puppys But the gra** would be greener if we just let it Remember you know yourself keep trusting in where you're headed and [Hook: J.Lately & Grynch] Don't stop now, never give up Don't stop now, never give up Take a second, smell the roses Take a second, smell the roses [Verse 2: Grynch] I chill and take a deep breath and I exhale Walking down the road of life see I'm just tryna excel Along the way I took a couple steps failed and stood again Proverbial middle finger to anyone who said I shouldn't win Despite your past, you can find a better way today Keep your light lit, don't let it burn out, you gon' fade away Some people tell me John you're so nostalgic Thinking bout my youth sometimes I wanna get up out this But the present's a present, yeah that's no lie So is the future, getting started on this long ride Yeah I'll be alright, shifting as I'm going towards No time for leaving goals ignored, I gotta keep the hope restored If something's wrong with your home And the gra** is greener on the other side sh** then water your own Keep all in the zone, don't forsake potential and just let it rot Keep it pushing til the wheels fall off and never stop [Hook]
