Self-Nurtured Rose 🌹

When life’s lookin up they’ll try to bring you down that’s why I’m always getting rid of anything that’ll burden me.

I had to let you go..and mann ever since you left I swear to god I been lookin right🤥🤤

Jus give me some direction, help me find my path, I want my own line of succession.

Hold up, Don’t read too Fast, please don’t miss these lessons,

just a little bit of food fa ya thought, you could even say I’m Chefin’.

Blessed as I Be I may never put together words that evoke a feeling deep in your soul better than the Rose That Grew From Concrete.

But I promise, YOU WILL CATCH THESE PARABLES I SPEAK CAUSE I MAY NOT BE A ROSE BUT I DID GROW FROM that CONCRETE.

When it rains it pours, keep thyself guarded, stay focused, in the end the fruits of thy labor shall be adorned,

but in the mean time stay down don’t be fuckin w/ these bitches and whores, it’s only a disguise young King/Queen🤴 underneath a snarling devil and horns.

Temptation is power.

It’s a demon under a sheer shawl, it’s priming to devour.

But when faced w/ it stare her deep in her eyes this is no place for cowards. No heart will get you hurt here, and the devil want his cut just as bad as we want ours.

Growing up in these predicaments would break most men, I must be strong, didn’t rely on psalms to keep me from reaching my wits end. Spiritually strong won’t break won’t bend. Same values learned from them trenches don’t break don’t bend. Pressure bursts pipes but I won’t give, cant break won’t bend.

Most important lesson learned, not everybody’s a friend. Most got bad intentions, wanna see you come to an end.

But It’s your dream and your success so you cannot depend...on nobody, but thyself no more running to mommy.

So decide, what you wanna eat?

Steak or salami? Where I’m from men think the way to get that steak is to bloody a body, but where that’s gone take you is where they want you, in that place for nobodies.

It’s like now it’s no respect as a man if you ain’t got no bodies, and that shit stupid, so for you to honor thy neighbor he gotta shoot n*ggas like Cupid? Swear it’s no LOVE in these streets man this shit is so foolish.

Like herb said these streets is so ruthless, got me thinking like I gotta keep my tool again,

can’t be outside unprotected specially not around these hooligans.

And that’s real, you hear them bells I’m hittin? Yes they do ring true again. Everything around us no more pure again.

Last time I had something of that nature I took a lesson from It, I ain’t been the same ever since..
