Roses by Johnny Champagne Lyrics
[Intro]
Legalize the herb, free all my people out of prison, man
Have this conversation with me real quick (some people want the petals without the thorns)
[Chorus]
It’s a couple things I’ve noticed
That I’ve noticed over time
The thorny bushes got the roses
The best roses that you’ll find
When I’m bleeding cuz its seeming hopeless
I gotta focus on what’s mine
I'm only human but my heart is golden
Yeah it’s golden so I shine
[Verse 1]
These niggas crabbing, I ain’t talking seafood
Hope you’ll be there when I need you
We win together or I beat you
So it goes
I’m finding comfort being solo
I won’t give in to the FOMO
I’m on a mission that I chose so
I can't fold
It’s always friction when you gaining traction
These niggas say they want the cash when
They really not about that action
They just talk
I’m always chillin but I’m never passive
Spread the knowledge like my classes
I'ma liberate the masses
That’s on Jah
No the revolution won’t be televised
Long as I’m a nigga, I’ll be vilified
They say I’m down to earth but I be hella high
They say I’m down to earth, I’m looking hella fly
They wanna bring me down and I'ma let em try
They hate I'm flowing 'cause they well is dry
I’m staying woke but I be hella tired
I done grown so much that they don’t recognize who I am inside
I be chilling, I just sip my tea slow
Talk to God 'cause I know he my cheat code
I know what he created me for
Speaking to my diasporic people
Learn the easy way or the hard way
Life be speeding past just like a car chase
Life is more than just what the stars say
I'm on top, fuck what the charts say
[Chorus]
It’s a couple things I’ve noticed (over the short span of my life)
That I’ve noticed over time (I done realized that...)
The thorny bushes got the roses (the greater the struggle, the greater the treasure at the end)
The best roses that you’ll find
When I’m bleeding and its seeming hopeless (you gotta embrace the pain to find the pleasure, you feel me?)
I gotta focus on what’s mine (Lose yourself to find yourself)
I'm only human but my heart is golden (Lost&Found&dnuoF&tsoL)
Yeah it’s golden, so I shine (Sincerely, yours truly, Johnny Champagne)
[Outro]
Ring around the rosie
Jah, please take ahold of me
Ring around the rosie
Tryna shed the old me
Legalize the herb, free all my people out of prison, man
Have this conversation with me real quick (some people want the petals without the thorns)
[Chorus]
It’s a couple things I’ve noticed
That I’ve noticed over time
The thorny bushes got the roses
The best roses that you’ll find
When I’m bleeding cuz its seeming hopeless
I gotta focus on what’s mine
I'm only human but my heart is golden
Yeah it’s golden so I shine
[Verse 1]
These niggas crabbing, I ain’t talking seafood
Hope you’ll be there when I need you
