Petals
Anfa Rose Lyrics

(It's alright)
Everything is okay.

(Ride for you)
Be loyal to you.

(Oh, oh, oh)
Vocals.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Vocals.

He ain't gon' ride for you, yeah
He won't be loyal to you.

I don't tell lies to you, yeah
I'm honest with you.

I'm a good guy to you, yeah
I treat you well.

Don't make me switch sides on you, yeah
Don't make me turn on you.

Need a co-sign for you, yeah
Need someone to vouch for you.

Needed more time to reflect
Needed time to think things through.

One more lie ain't alright
Can't handle any more lies.

Oh, it's just another night for you, yeah
Another typical night for you.

Oh, you tell me you gon' keep my secrets
You promise to keep my secrets safe.

Oh, you tell me you gon' keep my needs fed
You promise to take care of my needs.

Good role model for my nieces
A good example for my nieces.

Keep the grass cut short for the leeches
Stay cautious of the people mooching off of you.

These days is like Jeepers Creepers
These days are unpredictable and scary.

Act sweet, but shit, ain't shit sweet here
Appearances can be deceiving.

I've been chillin' with a bitch in her man's crib
Been spending time with someone in her boyfriend's house.

I've been living how I can, 'cause I can live
Been living my life on my own terms.

Ain't no news, you got too many problems
Your problems are no surprise to me.

You stay loose off the Goose and the powder
You use drugs and alcohol to cope.

Say I do, then I don't in an hour
Promise commitment, then back out quickly.

Watch that petal fall, then we set it off
Watch things fall apart, then chaos ensues.

Flying out to see me where I stay
Coming to visit me where I live.

Ain't no right time or the right place
There's no perfect time or place for us.

Both down to learn it the hard way
We're willing to learn through experience.

No other way, no way Josè
There's no other option.

Say you from a city where they don't pray
Say you're from a place where religion isn't emphasized.

Unless it's for the dollar or the dulce
Unless it's for money or pleasure.

Type you wanna holla gotta man up
Need to step up if you want to pursue me.

Around me all players and we don't play
I'm surrounded by people who take things seriously.

And you know the sunshine don't shine forever
Good times don't last forever.

But the moonlight shine, might shine the better
Sometimes the darkness brings out the best in things.

And the time ain't got no time, but petals
Time is fleeting and fragile like petals.

So as long as we're here
As long as we're alive.

Then we might as well shine together
Might as well make the most of our time together.

Doing me head down, you know how it goes
Doing my own thing, staying focused.

Looked up, things switched so much it shows
Things changed rapidly and it's evident.

Yeah, it's telling when you ain't tryna tell me nothing
Saying nothing says a lot.

Got love for ya, but I can't smell your rose
I care about you, but I can't trust you completely.
