Dear Love Lyrics - 90's Gold - Honey Cocaine

Acting like if you walk by a street and you was walking on concrete 

and you saw a rose growing outta concrete, even if it had messed up petals, 

and a little loose to the side, you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete... 

As a youngin all I had was a dream 

Rapping to myself as my momma used to scream 

Papa getting violent and he beating her again 

They just feelin stressed cause they tryna pay the rent 

Papa you a G though you did wrong 

Mama you's an angel cause you stay strong 

Papa it's alright we have weak moments 

Mama you a soldier cause you keep holding 

But some days we ain't have shit 

And some nights I was asking 

Why we so poor but my friends not? 

Just jealous of what my friends got 

I was hungry and you fed me love 

Damn, you gave me yours and it wasn't enough 

Yet, I took it all without a praise 

Working like slaves and I'm so sorry 

I'm grateful for the things you done did for me 

Coming home from school disrespecting 

Acting like I ain't have lessons 

Dear mama, that council won't get you 

If you try to go I won't let you 

A careless ass kid and but I'm tryna change it 

I just need to tell you I appreciate it 

*Chrous* 

Acting like if you walk by a street and you was walking on concrete 

and you saw a rose growing outta concrete, even if it had messed up petals, 

and a little loose to the side, you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete... 

As a youngin all I had was a dream 

You were brother, my hero, my team 

I was down for you, all you did was sell 

I was growing up while you was in and out of jail 

Waiting at the court room all of us silent 

You was never home, you was always so violent 

How you think I felt when I visited the prison? 

Like where my brother at? Where my partner gone missing? 

I was gone distant, I was just hurt 

From all those nights, those fights, those words 

Shit we used to argue all the time, I hated you 

And when it's in your drug deal, I hated too 

It was my birthday and then some next shit 

All them times you got your ass arrested 

Family stressin, I'm surprised you ain't dead 

From a life of crime and that war with the feds 

How you thought bout what you put me through? Huh 

And all the things I had to do for you 

Like deal with the people who spoke your name 

Like this bitch you disrespected you I broke her frame 

But it's okay, I'm your baby sis 

And some day I just may be rich 

And I got you, I ain't gotta say it 

I just want for you to tell me you appreciate it 

*Chrous* 

Acting like if you walk by a street and you was walking on concrete 

and you saw a rose growing outta concrete, even if it had messed up petals, 

and a little loose to the side, you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow throuch concrete...
