Rose Garden

(I didn't promise you a rose garden)

(Along with the sunshine)

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

Watch out

(I didn't promise you a rose garden)

Yeah

(Along with the sunshine)

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

Listen, okay

When Abraham went to slash Isaac

In a sense he baptized him

(There's gonna be some)

Rabbi said don't trust in cash prizes

Same things that float your boat can capsize it

(There's gonna be some)

Tell the snakes they can take a hike like gas prices

No such things as halfway crooks or half righteous

(There's gonna be some)

Yeah

Those who have eyes should act like it

Help the sightless seeking the light switch

(There's gonna be some)

To see in the night with, we leading the lifeless, uh

Sometimes I just wanna play some shows, make some dough

(There's gonna be some)

Take it home, lay in my bed, and stay in my safety zone

But Cee-Lo said it best

(There's gonna be some)

"I know too much and I owe too much to let it rest"

Heard a voice say, "Hey

(There's gonna be some)

You never question when you get the blessings

So don't get vexed when your life is stressed"

And I promised I'll be with you no matter what the issue

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

But there will be some issues to address

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

Listen to the lady in the dress

(I didn't promise you a rose garden)

(Along with the sunshine)

Uh-huh

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

Sun is up, it's a rain check

(I beg your pardon, I didn't promise you a rose garden)

(Along with the sunshine)

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

Rain feels like this, check it

I'm not in the zone, there's too much in the way

I weigh two bucks and if I had two slugs to spray

(There's gonna be some)

Like rah-rah, Glenn Beck better duck like foie gras

Make shots poke his face like Gaga

(There's gonna be some)

But momma says forgive, so I give him that bar like a Mars then let him live

The missing saga continues, ranting

(There's gonna be some)

While my DJ's lamping like Green Lantern, sampling

Mansions? Nah, I ain't rich as Richard Branson

(There's gonna be some)

I'm King Kong meets Vince Vaughn and I play like a champion

I'm a Monday ball league, nah B, all week

(There's gonna be some)

Seven days of black power naps every 48 half hours

That's 24, starring Jack Bauer

(There's gonna be some)

Can't cower when the rain falls

And it falls whether you're Gandhi or you're Adolf

(There's gonna be some)

Fall weather vendors always are way off

Make the call no rain delay

Play ball

(I didn't promise you a rose garden)

No

(Along with the sunshine)

Yeah

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

Listen to the lady in the dress say it best

(I beg your pardon, I didn't promise you a rose garden)

Uh-huh, uh-huh

(Along with the sunshine)

Yeah, there's gonna be some rain

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

There's gonna be some rain, sing it out

(I beg your pardon, I didn't promise you a rose garden)

(Along with the sunshine)

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

(I didn't promise you a rose garden)

(Along with the sunshine)

(There's gonna be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)

(Oh, I didn't promise you a rose garden)

(Along with the sunshine)

(There's gotta be some rain sometimes)

(Rain, rain, rain sometimes)
