Thorn Or A Rose (feat. Black Thought)

We come from so far, and life is full of surprises

Just know I'll never change, no i’ll never change

No matter the circumstances, though this road can be demanding

I’ll always be the same, always be the same

Never lose sight of who you are, temptation comes from near and far

Wounds heal but leave a scar

Make sure from the start, its from your heart

Because didn’t you know, that the higher you go

It’s the more you'll expose, if you’re a thorn or a rose

Because didn’t you know, that the higher you go

It’s the more you'll expose, if you’re a thorn or a rose

Yo

We're all products of the same stem, same blood, and same skin

Same ghetto flower growing from the same pavement

Rising to the challenge of this world and trying to stay in it

Paying tears and sweat, paying dues and paying rent

Never shall I stumble I stay on the same wavelength

Yeah the game is savage yo it’s primitive its cavemen

Only way to save men and free them from enslavement

Start to over stand each other like a native language

Guiding one another down this road full of changes

Although its full of dangers we got to be courageous

Let the vibes spread and make your bravery contagious

Know you’re going through the same book but different pages

People can be so vain, hustling can be so pain-ful

And make you feel like all you do is work for no gain

But before it bottles up the flames like propane

Inhale and exhale, no stress and no strain
