Muslim Belal, Abdullah Rolle - Gunz n' Roses 2 lyrics

Down, guns and roses

I see roses and guns on the soil laying down
So many have lived, and now underground
Oh my days, I would cry
Never think that I would find the answers
Deep inside i turned my life around

Imma end up the same place
My granddad went the same place
My cousin went the same place, my auntie went
I just pray that this time that
I spend when I'm down here
I do enough to make my grave
Like a garden of paradise
When I'm down there I know
Difference from wrong and right
It's all clear, it's black and white
Why do I end up in a grey area, we are
Some real victims of our ignorance
I hope I do enough now
To really make a difference
For a difference in my heart
For a difference in my mind
I was glamorised in crime
Now I'm analysing time
And realising that I'm, walking a thin line
Although the lifestyle seems fine
The smile is just a lie
I can't afford to show my weakness
So we all end up defeated
I was the one they turned to for hope
When hope was mostly needed
They put me on the stage
My name was filled with praise
They praised me so much until
I wanted to walk away
And even though I was getting paid
The truth is I would've done this either way
Just to see the smile on mummy's face
Just to know Sumaya's mind ended
Up in the right place
Cuz daddy started off selling apes
MCing on tapes
Now there's thousands buying tickets just
To see your daddy's face
Or hear your daddy's voice
Cuz daddy speaks wisdom
A ghetto child converted to religion
A maniac was risen

I see roses and guns on the soil laying down
Down so many have lived, guns and roses
And now underground, There today
Gone tomorrow
Oh my days, I would cry just like that
Never think that I would find
The answers, deep inside, yo
I turned my life around

A maniac was risen
And as the same year Bob Marley died
Tomorrow from Trenchtown
The same place Bob Marley rised
To my surprise, I got the same effect as him
Representing the same struggle
We got the same shade of skin
Now sister, are we bring the ghetto uptown
And there's nothing but rich
People on the streets, when I walk around
But the rest of us are eating
Casually on the weekends
Surrounded by celebrities
Watching the money we spend
The only difference is I need money to
Live but don't live for money
So I'm making and easily give back
And backbiters always on the attacks
Speaking without thinking and
Gossiping without facts
The truth is they spend half of
The time thinking about me
That's probably why they only achieve
Half of what I achieved
I please, sleep and I breathe
Sweat after I run i'm just a human like you
But look what I've become
I learnt to balance my fun as
I balance my work rate
They were sleeping early
While I was always up late
And I was up early
While they were sleeping late
That's why there's lobster and caviar and
Black cod on my plate came from an estate
But I didn't wait for no handouts
I was getting my hustle on
They was playing runouts
That's why today I've come out
Feeling untouchable
Allah's destiny is unstoppable

I see roses and guns on the soil laying down
So many have lived, and now underground
Oh my days, I would cry
Never think that I would find the answers
Deep inside i turned my life around
