Roses
Black-Ty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Been a while but no
I'll believe if I'm told so
You're second to none
They ask me all the time do I know about love
Naturally I say yes but I don't know shit
'cause if I did I wouldn't be in and out of relationships
Why? Do I get caught up in eye candy
A few days I pound she ain't nowhere to be found
Everyday I pull so many dimes
I need to change my middle name to one line
'cause I got so many one liners
I try to tell her I was ready to go all the way
But she couldn't be patient with me
And now look at the end result
She ain't here to get these roses I brought
But I'ma keep my self-esteem up
And keep looking for some real love
You know its true what they say
Love's as precious as a rose
Will I ever find a rose I don't know
It's been a miracle from what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Been a while but no
I'll believe if I'm told so
You're second to none
I seen it coming way before we got here
You want me to put you over my whole career
My career was here first and its here to stay
Don't trip girl you're still a prior life and
Movie sets, rhyming, singing, and world tours
If I ain't got a rose in my life then what's it all for
You think I wanna be in private jets
Laid up in five star hotels by myself
Nope I want a rose to share with
The blessing of a backbone but I can't stay alone
I come home to a home cooked meal
A manicure pedicure without seeing a bill
Am I describing you I don't know
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life living single
Patience is a virtue that's the way that it goes
The question is will I find my rose is that you
It's been a miracle from what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Been a while but no
I'll believe if I'm told so
You're second to none
My moms taught me not to wear emotions on my sleeves
So when I leave please believe I'ma leave man
I'm not a charity case
But you might have to donate some love tips and show me the way
'cause if I really knew it all
You think y'all would have to talk to me about how to love and all
Naw I'd be on top of the world
At twenty seven with a wife, pregnant, and white picket fences and shit
It's cool I'ma get there soon
Running around in the yard having fun with my little ones
Thinking to myself I had my share
There's gonna be women everywhere
Not like the one I got here
Independent, fine as hell and got her own career
And if I ever needed her
She'll be right there
Is that you damn
I don't know what else to say man
I feel like I got something
But at the same time I don't
It's lonely out here
You can have all the money in the world
That shit don't matter
You know what I'm saying
When you broke you want money
And when you get money
You just want a girl to lay up with
And chill and relax and shit
You know
The lyrics to Black-Ty's song "Roses" explore the theme of love and the search for a meaningful and fulfilling relationship. The song's chorus speaks of a miraculous change brought about by the love of another person and the desire for two people to become one. The righteous way to go is to find this type of love, but the singer also acknowledges that it's been a while since he's experienced it. He questions what he really knows about love and admits that he's been in and out of relationships, caught up in the fleeting attraction of eye candy. The singer longs for a true, deep love that lasts beyond just physical attraction, and he wonders if he'll ever find a "rose" that fits this description.
The lyrics also touch on the challenges of being a successful artist and maintaining relationships. The singer admits that his career is his top priority, but he still desires a fulfilling personal life. He wants someone to share his success with, someone to come home to after a long day of work. He also acknowledges that he needs guidance when it comes to love and relationships, and that he's willing to learn from someone who knows better. Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the complexities of love, the search for fulfillment, and the desire for a deep and lasting connection.

I am grateful for the positive impact you've had on my life
Please stay right by my side
I want you to continue to support me and be there for me
Two can be one
Being in a relationship can create a strong sense of unity
The righteous way to go
Being committed to each other is the right thing to do
Been a while but no
It's been a while since I've found true love, but I haven't given up hope
I'll believe if I'm told so
I am willing to listen and trust those who have experience with love
You're second to none
You are amazing and one of a kind
The question is what do I know about love
I am uncertain about my understanding of love
They ask me all the time do I know about love
People often question my knowledge of love
Naturally I say yes but I don't know shit
Although I claim to know about love, I actually know very little
'cause if I did I wouldn't be in and out of relationships
If I truly knew about love, I wouldn't struggle with maintaining relationships
Why? Do I get caught up in eye candy
Do I get distracted by physical appearance?
A few days I pound she ain't nowhere to be found
I have had fleeting relationships that didn't last long
Everyday I pull so many dimes
I attract a lot of attractive women
I need to change my middle name to one line
I have so many one-liners that I should make them my middle name
'cause I got so many one liners
I have an abundance of witty remarks
I try to tell her I was ready to go all the way
I tried to express my readiness for a serious relationship
But she couldn't be patient with me
My previous partner wasn't willing to take things slow with me
And now look at the end result
As a result, the relationship didn't work out
She ain't here to get these roses I brought
My previous partner isn't here to receive the gift of roses I bought for her
But I'ma keep my self-esteem up
I will work to maintain my self-confidence despite past relationship failures
And keep looking for some real love
I will continue to search for genuine love in future relationships
You know its true what they say
It's accurate to say that love is as valuable as a rose
Love's as precious as a rose
Love is a valuable and cherished emotion
Will I ever find a rose I don't know
I'm not sure if I will ever find genuine love
I seen it coming way before we got here
I could sense the impending issues in the relationship before they fully manifested
You want me to put you over my whole career
You are asking me to prioritize our relationship over my professional goals
My career was here first and its here to stay
My career is important to me and will always be a part of my life
Don't trip girl you're still a prior life and
Don't worry, you're still a significant part of my life
Movie sets, rhyming, singing, and world tours
These are aspects of my career that I am passionate about
If I ain't got a rose in my life then what's it all for
Without love in my life, my career achievements don't feel as fulfilling
You think I wanna be in private jets
Private jets and luxury accommodations lose their appeal without someone to share them with
Laid up in five star hotels by myself
Being alone in lavish hotels doesn't bring me as much joy as experiencing it with a partner
Nope I want a rose to share with
I desire a partner to experience life and its luxuries with
The blessing of a backbone but I can't stay alone
I want a partner who is strong and supportive but I struggle with being alone
I come home to a home cooked meal
I look forward to coming home to a meal cooked by my partner
A manicure pedicure without seeing a bill
I appreciate the small perks of being in a committed relationship, such as pampering without financial worry
Am I describing you I don't know
I wonder if you are the type of partner I am seeking
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life living single
I am not content with living the rest of my life without a partner
Patience is a virtue that's the way that it goes
I understand that finding genuine love takes time and patience
The question is will I find my rose is that you
I am wondering if you are the person I will find true love with
My moms taught me not to wear emotions on my sleeves
I was raised to not express my emotions too openly
So when I leave please believe I'ma leave man
I don't want to appear too emotional when I leave a situation or relationship
I'm not a charity case
I don't want to be perceived as someone who is needy or helpless
But you might have to donate some love tips and show me the way
I am open to learning more about how to love and be in a healthy relationship
'cause if I really knew it all
If I were an expert in love
You think y'all would have to talk to me about how to love and all
People wouldn't need to advise or instruct me on love
Naw I'd be on top of the world
I would feel confident and knowledgeable about love
At twenty seven with a wife, pregnant, and white picket fences and shit
I would have achieved significant milestones in my personal life
It's cool I'ma get there soon
I am confident that I will eventually reach my personal life goals
Running around in the yard having fun with my little ones
I look forward to playing with my future children
Thinking to myself I had my share
I will reflect on my journey to finding true love and appreciate the experiences I have had
There's gonna be women everywhere
I will have many opportunities to meet different women
Not like the one I got here
But I am looking for someone who stands out from the rest, like you
Independent, fine as hell and got her own career
I want a partner who is independent, attractive, and has her own professional aspirations
And if I ever needed her
I want a partner who is supportive and will be there for me
She'll be right there
I know I can count on my partner to support me through thick and thin
Is that you damn
I am wondering if you are the one for me
I don't know what else to say man
I am struggling to express my feelings about love
I feel like I got something
However, I believe there is something special about finding true love
But at the same time I don't
At times, I feel uncertain and unsure about love
It's lonely out here
Being single can be lonely and isolating
You can have all the money in the world
Money can't buy everything, especially love
That shit don't matter
Money isn't everything
When you broke you want money
When you're struggling financially, money becomes a top priority
And when you get money
But when you have money
You just want a girl to lay up with
All you want is a partner to relax and enjoy life with
And chill and relax and shit
To enjoy simple pleasures with your partner
