[Intro: Che Noir]

Yeah

Yo, yo, look

[Verse 1: Che Noir]

Scope focused, aimed at a rival, took a page from the Bible

Treat the words that I say just like a stage at Apollo

My life is like a canvas, the words I paint is a novel

Started with a crayon, now I get the praise of Picasso

No cheat-code fix to this life when the stress pullin'

A peephole glimpse turned my life to the best lookin'

A fiend's nose sniff, that's the smell of your flesh cookin'

I reload clips from a opp when they sweat bullets

I conquer the small mission from a thought and vision

'Cause I had to crawl ditches under tall fences

Made it out them dark trenches, pennin' bars, spittin'

Crazy how I built it all from scratch and now my palms itchin'

My mind racin' through marathons, I win my battles by thinkin'

Get all my coachin' from an angel when I shadowbox demons

A late bloomer, still plantin' seeds and I grew a lotus

A queen that deserves a crown, but they still won't give me my roses

[Interlude]

If you walked by a street and you was walkin' on concrete

And you saw growin' out of concrete

Even if it had messed-up petals and

You would marvel at just seein' a rose grow through concrete

So why is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of all of the dirtiest circumstances

All you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems, and how I'm leanin' crooked to the side

You can't even see that I came from the bottom

[Verse 2: 38 Spesh]

Ayo

I don't care bout no one else business

I got self-interest, take a loan from my business, pay myself interest, huh

I was livin' in hell, trenches

Throwin' rocks at the pen', I was twelve inches from jail fences

My homegirl a boss, your boy is a worker

I empower my team, you employin' your circle

You should've been more loyal and verbal

Tried to bury me underground, but they ain't know the soil was fertile

The rabbit did more than the turtle

It end up losin' the race, man, you gotta look forward to hurdles

When a snake come for you, it's hurtful

Pray they give my boy a reversal, when I talk to your lawyer, it's personal

I'm lovin' it when they hate

This clean money, I'm rubbin' it in they face

Just in case you ain't notice, I deserve my roses

So I bought a Cullinan and a Wraith, trust

[Outro]

You mean you don't wan't to do anything with your life except shoot guns?

I like shooting 'em, judge

I don't know why, but I feel good when I'm shooting 'em

I feel awful good inside, like I'm somebody

The idea is, you know, you live from moment to moment

So in doing that

But this moment decides the next step, you shouldn't be five steps ahead

Only the very next one

And you can keep to that

First change that takes place is in your mind

You have to change your mind before you change the way you're livin' and changin' the way you move
