Rose In Harlem

A rose in Harlem
 A rose in Harlem
 A rose in Harlem
 A rose in Harlem
 Been through more than a lil' bit
 Been through more than a lil' bit
 But I ain't callin' no names out
 No, no free promotion
 Naw, naw I ain't late, I don't do due dates
 No sneak diss, no sneak shit
 That's just how I was raised
 Had to get it out the soil
 I been down, I been loyal
 When you really hold it down
 Niggas ain't even really down for ya
 Oh no, what a shame
 10 years in the game
 Niggas like "You ain't hot? You ain't pop yet?"
 What's up wit' you and Ye?
 (A rose in Harlem)
 Grew out the concrete
 (A rose in Harlem)
 You know it ain't sweet
 (A rose in Harlem)
 Can't tell me any- any- any- anything
 It be the ones who say they ride for you
 It be the ones, the ones you love, them too
 It be the ones who swear they real, not true
 It be them ones, it be them ones
 Don't get caught up
 It be the ones, the ones you closest too
 It be the ones, the ones you trust, them too
 It be the ones, the ones you look up to
 It be the ones
 Don't get caught up, young girl
 (A rose in Harlem)
 Grew out the concrete
 (A rose in Harlem)
 You know it ain't sweet
 (A rose in Harlem)
 Can't tell me any- any- any- anything
 Been through more than a lil' bit
 Been through more than a lil' bit
 But I ain't callin' no names out
 No, no free promotions
 If it ain't 'bout blessings
 I can't even address it
 I just bought my third house
 No album out and I got 'em asking
 What do she do?' I do everything
 I move everything
 Put that on my wedding ring
 Put that on my baby name
 All these fake smiles
 These chicks must just came from a dentist
 I can tell it ain't genuine
 I get so offended
 (A rose in Harlem)
 Grew out the concrete
 (A rose in Harlem)
 You know it ain't sweet
 (A rose in Harlem)
 Can't tell me any- any- any- anything
 It be the ones who say they ride for you
 It be the ones, the ones you love, them too
 It be the ones who swear they real, not true
 It be them ones, it be them ones
 Don't get caught up
 It be the ones, the ones you closest too
 It be the ones, the ones you trust, them too
 It be the ones, the ones you look up to
 It be the ones
 It be the ones who say they ride for you
 It be the ones, the ones you love, them too
 It be the ones who swear they real, not true
 It be them ones, it be them ones
 Don't get caught up
 It be the ones, the ones you closest too
 It be the ones, the ones you trust, them too
 It be the ones, the ones you look up to
 It be the ones
 Don't get caught up, young girl
 A rose in Harlem
 A rose in Harlem
 A rose in Harlem
 A rose in Harlem
 Don't get caught up, young girl
