Rose In Harlem lyrics

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

Ten years in the game

Niggas like "You ain't hot? You ain't pop yet?

What's up wit' you and Ye?"

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

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

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
