The Rose

(Chorus) 2x I'm the rose and I give this to you It tears my clothes and this life's so crucial Prepare the road and my ride's in neutral Beware of my soul cause my eyes see through you And my eyes see through you And my eyes see through you [Killah Priest] Love and happiness, drug and marriages Slugs from the ratchet spit Secrets of the dead when that casket lift Bullets left to pull bastard stiff Mix messages, rich heritage I come form the Hyksos araget Six thousand miles through the strong currents We survive with endurance Made it through the waves, kid Outrageous, put in cages Slaves for ages Something out of the Bible pages What made our survival contagious? Its tribal, species endangered The rose with the cuts on his clothes His pedals had fallen in the ghetto Crowds echo, screams and I've seen the devil Angels with the same clothes (Chorus) 2x [Killah Priest] Is it the seven in the crescent? The G in the compass? Reverend and his message? It's me in a conflict Star David - The Mosque or The Masons? God or the Atheists? Tomorrow are the ancients Which way do I go? Which ways do I roll? New age or the old? Ways of the crow to the grave in the cold Or to the grave in the soul with the sun-rays and I can grow To the pavement in the road God dealt with Nations so I deal with concentration So deep in conversation I reap for combination Read Psalms when I'm shaking Call moms when I'm aching Push your palms when you praise him My calm words drop bombs on Satan Farrakhan's congregation Escaping the longs arms of the state pens Abomination taxes, television distractions Her religion is backwards Asking were they in these chapters? Will it end with the rapture? Or will we assail with the master? Will the devil be captured? Will the rebels have laughter? Or will the ghettos be after? From the baby showers to the grave with the flowers (Chorus) 2x
