Dead Rose Lyrics by Chris Skillz & Zain

Olvido

2020

[Intro: sample]
[?]

[Verse 1: Chris Skillz]
The reel me the real me so get acquainted
I don't know how to fake it, I don't know how to paint it
Any other way but dangerous so the fine line I walk
Is non-existent, patience I practice but really don't contemplate
That I lead with my actions, I really don't, yo, I'm late
Nah, I be on time, I really won't, now I'm speedin'
Speedin' through life, so here's a quote
Not only do pressure burst gats, they burst pipes, smoke
Is what the blow in the mirror, tainted, who ain't it
Sometimes I look myself in the mirror, like, "Yo, you ain't shit"
Self-esteem a problem, connection to those neglected
Lessons on the page that I'm turnin', it's introspective
I'm stuck on this train, wheels turnin', the fire burnin'
I'm learnin' to distract myself, is that concernin'?
To heed to the sermon the preacher told me
The same motherfucker caught stealin', the same old story, God

[Verse 2: Guilty Simpson]
(Yeah, uh)
Yeah, uh, I left a dead rose on the concrete
To symbolize what they peddlin' on the side streets
I'm when fate and time meets, then it's eulogies
But they speakin' they kind piece
It's like the Devil's been busy, messin' with me
Bumpin' my head consecutively
Feelin' like I'm runnin' in place
Goin' nowhere fast and pickin' up pace
They say I'm trash because of certain things I can't control
Made an enemy out of those that made us old
Behind every great man, you'll find one
So I'm with my black queen 'til my time comes
My serenity, bound by love and chemistry
Saved me from restless nights in penitentiaries
True lifesaver, the reason that I write flavor
