Roses Lyrics by Sean Auguste

Paying and Praying

2014

I know…
Roses are red
Don’t buy me no violets
This one’s for my grind
The one the put the timing in
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Don’t you ever cry for me
You can buy me flowers then
And throw em’ on my grave
Hol’ up
(Verse 1)
[Sean]
Til’ then imma smile when I clock in
And Imma work hard
Without looking forward to my 15
But on my lunch break
A nigga gotta get baked
Spray the Cuba on me right before I walk in
So they don’t smell me, if you smell then you’re too close
And I got 4 more hours in this bitch
So I could do whatever I want too
Cause I moonlight in this music
Thats why I picked this early shift
Cause the sun still out when I dip
Either it’s…6-2. 9-5
2-10, overnight
Either way you getting money ass nigga
Even if it do go to the bills and the gas nigga
Spent the last change in my car on a swisher
Only real niggas would know that feeling
Only takes one day , that’s when everything switches
Still walk in everywhere like we own that building
If thy ask me where I’m at
Tell em’ I’m working
(CHORUS)
I know…
Roses are red
Don’t buy me no violet
This one’s for my grind
The one the put the timing in
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Don’t you ever cry for me
You can buy me flowers then
And throw em’ on my grave
…Hol’ up
…Hol’ up
This one’s for my grind
…Hol’ up
For my grind
This one’s for my grind
…Hol’ up
(BRIDGE)
[Bmac]
This one for the grind
All the time
Tryna get my weight up
(2Xs)
(Verse 2)
[Bmac]
This one’s for my Momma
My day ones we still tight
Stay focus up on them commas
Them ghetto kids getting hella rich
I mean, all they want is them dollas
Everything else is irrelevant
We get what we want and we settle in
And we gon’ need more than a settlement
Imma need my name in gold
My pockets on swole
Tell everybody yall know
I stuck to the code
Boy this grind ain't no joke
But this grind gave me hope
Watch me shine
Watch me grow
Roll one up watch me smoke
Hol’ up
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE 2)
[Sean]
We in the land of the working man
Get that 40 hours how you can
Sign up for that OT, if they allow it
Work your fingers to the bone
Just to keep em’ smiling
(Verse 2)
[Sean]
Before I take my dirt nap
Let me take this earth lap
25 million miles
Run it til my legs give out
And when they give out
I see footprints in the cement
They throw roses at my feet
Prepare the entrance of a King
Prepare the table for this feast
Once we never used to eat
And when did we had to sneak
Cause my lil’ cousin want a piece
There’s no benefit in sharing shit
You get shit when you’re sharing shit
I get it, you get it
You get it, I get it all
(CHORUS)
