Q-Unique - Dead Roses lyrics

She knew she had the upper hand
Whether she wanted to tie the
Knot or cut the plans
And I was the trying to get into her heart
Instead I’m left in the dark
She tryin to bring life to somethin
That was dead from the start
She was poison covered with sorrow
A barred life for my mother
Who couldn’t afford tomorrow
She was a love child
But ain’t have no love in her
Her father don’t really cared
Enough pain huggin her
Should’ve walked away when I saw her
Beautiful chick no watch the
Days they call her
When I met her stepfather, it felt unsettling
Cause after he asked my attention
He asked for cash for heroin
I felt the need to play the savior
A major mistake got her and her mom plane
Tickets so they could escape
In a neighborhood chase with her stepfather
I’m takin the place of the man in a house
I’m phasin the hate

You never loved me, it was all a lie
You never loved me, it was never true
I’m laughing as I’m thinking of you
At your front door with a dozen dead roses

You never loved me, it was never real
You never loved me, it was all a waste
You should see the look at your face
At your front door with a dozen dead roses

The whole scene was an insane mess, me
Her and her mom sleepin in the same bed
I was brain-dead and my
Friends couldn’t get through it was crazy
Her mom’s was having sex with her own nephew
How could you love someone and hate
‘em at the same time? I mean love ‘em
But wanna commit a hate crime
If love should pick you up
Then it means it doesn’t fall
So in reality that means it
Wasn’t love at all
I hated when her mother tried to break us up
And hooked her up with some hood rat
You couldn’t make this up –
My fate was fucked
Cause dudes on the block are lookin at me
Like hey I really hate this fuck
That’s what I get for showin
How love’s supposed to be
And when they was hungry
I went out and bought ‘em groceries
And when they was broke
I came and gave ‘em cash
I thought it made her happy
But it really made them laugh behind my back

You never loved me, it was all a lie
You never loved me, it was never true
I’m laughing as I’m thinking of you
At your front door with a dozen dead roses

You never loved me, it was never real
You never loved me, it was all a waste
You should see the look at your face
At your front door with a dozen dead roses

(women laughing)

Something finally clicked
I gathered my shit and finally split
The suffering reminded me quick
I did my best to avoid her
Then she realized it was her
Mother that destroyed her
Her mother forced her into drug running
Then I heard she was at a
Party and wanted to gun some
What kind of mother makes her
Own daughter run drugs she was so innocent
Now she wanted to gun slugs
They caught her, custom strapped with cocaine
I head it's and felt no pain
And thank God I bailed when I did
With both her and her mother
Stuck in jail doing bids

You never loved me, it was all a lie
You never loved me, it was never true
I’m laughing as I’m thinking of you
At your front door with a dozen dead roses

You never loved me, it was never real
You never loved me, it was all a waste
You should see the look at your face
At your front door with a dozen dead roses
