Black Roses
A.G. Cubano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

And the fact that I’m alone now
Is comforting and I can’t shake the feeling in my bones now
I went searching for a gold crown
Instead I found myself just doing all this for my hometown
And the fact that I’m alone now
Is comforting and I can’t shake the feeling in my bones now
I went searching for a gold crown
Instead I found myself just doing all this for my hometown
My vision tainted as the early bird
Yeah I get the worm but as a human that’s a fucking curse
My homie tried to grab a lucky purse
Luck was on his side received a 5 and not the fucking hearse
And we just riding through the city night
City lights shining like the pretty ice diamonds on the way
And there’s nothing more to say to you
My title’s underrated tryna change it like it’s April fools
All my life I searched for love inside
The internet and there is when I found that shit was overpriced
I been fighting for my fucking life
Tryna see the light to light a spliff to get me through the night
Long days in this little life pray to God I’m seeing 25
To live the life my brothers couldn’t see
Somebody put into hyper sleep
And wake me up when life is worth living and there’s fucking peace
And the fact that I’m alone now
Is comforting and I can’t shake the feeling in my bones now
I went searching for a gold crown
Instead I found myself just doing all this for my hometown
And the fact that I’m alone now
Is comforting and I can’t shake the feeling in my bones now
I went searching for a gold crown
Instead I found myself just doing all this for my hometown
This isn’t a return because I never left
I just been observant to the shit while taking silent steps
Take you on silent night
Take you on a silent ride funny cause I always been the silent type
Irony in the truest form
I can be the rudest call me ruthless if you ever touch my team
I’ll leave you toothless in my night fury
Bury my issues deep within the grave
And all these black roses screaming death but I got more to say
This is my rebirth not a return
A prophet with these words yet a sinner not a preacher
But then again nobody’s perfect
I been living life but is it worth it
Questions in need of answers
How can I resist you with my hands up
Falling to the ground somebody pick me up
I’m in need of saving




And if I’m coming towards my end of days
Lay me in a pit of black roses as I fade away
