Smell The Roses

[Intro] Ash on the plate Plates on the table Table in the hallway Hallway full of labels (hey!) [Verse 1] Show up late, foil pan in my hand Mac so mean, got its own little brand Whole block here, we the plus-one chosen Lines still hot even when the mic frozen Neighbors on the stairs, nose in the air Talkin’ ‘bout the smoke, but they never come share I been broke at these get-togethers, still toasting Now my name on the flyer, same crew hosting [Chorus] Smell the roses We came up out them roaches Turned them food stamps into focus Now the whole block know this Smell the roses Every scar, every moment If you made it through, you wrote this Lift your plate up, smell the roses (yeah) [Verse 2] Heater on the wall, grandma’s frame crooked Classical looping, but the drums straight crooked Shorty in the corner with the rent due soon Still laughing like the check gon’ hit by noon We trade bars like we trade these plates You bring spice, I bring old mistakes When the verse hit hard, crowd lean like overdoses We just passing pain ‘round, call it sharing roses [Chorus] Smell the roses We came up out them roaches Turned them food stamps into focus Now the whole block know this Smell the roses Every scar, every moment If you made it through, you wrote this Lift your plate up, smell the roses (smell it) [Bridge] Who you feeding? Who you fighting? Same room Same lighting Different scars Same toasting Breathe it in slow Keep roasting (woah) [Chorus] Smell the roses We came up out them roaches Turned them food stamps into focus Now the whole block know this Smell the roses Every scar, every moment If you made it through, you wrote this Lift your plate up, smell the roses
