Black Rose (Live) ft. Soulful Distance Lyrics

So this is my testimony, if nothing else was my testimony

This was my testimony and I decided to write it

If I had a dollar

For every time somebody told me I should have been famous

I'd be rich right now

If I had one penny, penny

For every disappointment, I'll be top three

Yeah Forbes top three

And if I had a dime, one dime

I'd be sipping wine with your favorite singers

Yeah It'll be top tier wine too

But everything, everything, everything

That's meant for me, is gonna be for me

Listen, so I don't get excited when I get those likes

I keep on pushing till I get this right

So you can argue, yeah you think I'm pretty

But that don't mean a thing if I can't see me

A black rose grown in concrete

A black rose grown from concrete

A black rose grown from concrete

A black rose grown from concrete

I'm still living, I'm still growing

I'm still learning, but I'll be knowing

A black rose grown from concrete

A black rose grown from concrete

A black rose grown from concrete

A black rose grown from concrete

I'm still living

Steady growing, I still be living, and I

See I can go viral on some bullshit

But turn around and post new music

And don't get the same likes

See that can be frustrating

I'm just saying I've been waiting

For my time

When is it gonna be my time

So I don't get excited when I get those likes

I can care less about those

I keep on pushing till I get this right

And you can argue, yeah, you think I'm pretty

But that don't mean a thing if I don't see me

A black rose grown from concrete

A black rose, grown from concrete, yeah

A black rose, grown from concrete, yeah

I'm still living

I'm steady growing

I still be giving

But I'll be knowing that I

A black rose, grown from concrete

A black rose, grown from concrete

I'm still, I'm still giving my all

I'm still leaving my soul on the stage

A black rose

Trying to make it in this cruel, cruel world

Just a Brooklyn girl in this Atlanta world

I'm just trying to make it

I'm a black rose
