Lyrics
[Verse 1] Guns and roses Another young boy lost, another fallen soldier Younger brother tears fallin' on his mother's shoulder She got some tears of her own, wish she had loved him stronger Thirteen, but he grown, you see the gun he holdin'? 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, searchin' for better life A troubled cardiac is all she got, eatin' that McDonald's by the laundromat Daughter was seventeen, she just wanna know where the party at Met somebody that night, fucked him, he never called her back Now her oldest bastard son is sittin' in that casket [Refrain] Young victim of the guns and roses Livin' young and hopeless [Verse 2] Guns and roses Another young girl lost, you see, her heart was broken She used to love so strong until she got done wrong, ain't wanna feel no guilt She blamed it all on home, but still, it felt so real And, shit, she lie so well Her parents never could tell where she was really at Now is it really love or is it just another lie to fuck inside his mama truck? Raw like the emotions of her cryin' that night Her pillow soaked, she miss the hope she had as a kid But he doin' all the things that her dad never did He'll be the dad of her kid if she have it, but still, he'd rather not Steal her mother's car, hit the bar just to grab a shot [Refrain] From the guns and roses Livin' young and hopeless [Verse 3] Guns and roses (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 shit you never had did You just conform to survive, not tryin' to sit in no pit I like me better alive, .357s for six, eleven fit in the 9 I take 'em both when I dip 'cause 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 comin' Hit a man, woman, child, or dog, because it's mine before yours It's two weapons in wars, and that's [Refrain] The guns and roses Young victim of the guns and roses
