Vince Staples - Guns and Roses lyrics

[Verse 1] Guns and Roses, another young boy lost, another fallen soldier Younger brother tears' falling on his mother's shoulders She got some tears of her own, wish she had loved him stronger 13, but he grown, you see the gun he holding, that was made for a man The rush he get when he load it is one you won't understand unless you hold it and blow it, Granny moved from New Orleans searching for better life A troubled cardiac is all she got, eating that McDonalds by the laundry mat Daughter was 17, she just want to know where the party at Met somebody that night, f**ed him, he never called her back Now her oldest ba*tard son sitting in that casket Young victim of the guns and roses Living young and hopeless [Verse 2] Guns and Roses, another young girl lost, you see her heart was broken She used to love so strong til' she got done wrong, ain't wanna feel no guilt She blamed it all on home, but still it felt so real, and sh** she lie so well Her parents never could tell where she was really at Now is it really love or just another lie to f** inside his mama's truck raw like the emotions of her crying that night, her pillow soaked She miss the hope she had as a kid But he doing all the things that her dad never did He'll be the dad of a kid if she have it, but still he'd rather not Steal her mother's car, hit the bar just to grab a shot from the guns and roses Living young and hopeless [Verse 3] Guns and Roses, I had it all in my home but mother never noticed The neighborhood where I roamed was known for countless encounters Of people pressin' they line, I try to stay in my boundary When bounties placed on your head for sh** you never had did You just conform to survive, not tryin' to sit in no pit I like me better alive, three fifty-seven's for six eleven, fit in the nine I take 'em both when I dipped cuz I ain't dyin' today It's just a game that we play, what you bang ? where you stay ? Before you answer just spray, they'll never see it coming Hit a man woman, child, or dog because it's mine before yours It's two weapons in wars and that's The guns and roses, young victim of the guns and roses
