Black Petunia

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Capital STEEZ] I only had two problems with females Comin' off too strong and waitin' too long to move on To save myself a heartache, Cupid gave me a couple of coupons And told me not to choose a chickenhead with Jimmy Choos on It's a new day, women want Louboutin Basic necessities, you heard that "Gucci Gucci" song And if she do me wrong, I keep it movin' on my quest to find love Still burnin' 'til my doobie's gone I'm lost and tryin' to find my route But my thoughts only inspire me to find my roots And my conscious won't allow me to shoot So I only value time in the booth If that's fine by you, true I'm trapped in my reality When I look in the mirror, there's a bastard starin' back at me The last chance of happiness for my family 'Cause momma's gettin' older and it's bringin' out the man in me I wish it happened sooner, 'cause every afternoon I realize another day is passin' that I lack improvement I think I'm losin' it Homies askin' "What happened to ya?" This concrete rose turned into a black petunia I guess that's how it's supposed to go Fuck being emotional, I'd rather braggadocio Drown in my emotions 'til I overflow with doper quotes So take a hit of this and pass it off to so-and-so [Chorus: Capital STEEZ] So puff, puff, pass Puff, puff, pass Are you high enough? I'm just gettin' fired up Puff, puff, pass Puff, puff, pass Puff, puff, pass Are you high enough? I'm just gettin' fired up And this song is all that I— [Bridge: Capital STEEZ & Jakk the Rhymer] I'm in it for the win, 'cause these L's ain't doin' shit I guess I've grown used to it Uh, uh And this song is all that I can give you [Verse 2: Jakk the Rhymer] I need no reminisces of history This the requiem for them hard times We crush up mad trees in this memory, trips down Memory lane keep me steps ahead of them I'm headin' in the direction of anythin' that's elevatin' there That's why I'm writin' through the night And momma, when your son shine, they ain't gon' ever take our light again Overpriced taste, we been hungry, we overdue Watchin' gangsters in the tube, living like they showed me to New Jakk city, so the whole clique paid in full No cinema, but it's comin' soon I slow never and it's no wonder I'm in front of you Yo, I rap circles around the globe like the sun and moon Blessed, I was the son of a jewel and the world knew He only kept the gold wrapped 'round his tooth Proof, damn, why do the good die? Damn, pop, why you leave at 49? I'm graduatin', at 53, you should've held up Still thinkin' 'bout what my seed was gonna call you "Granddad"? "Grandfather"? "Papa"? Reminiscin', ridin' shotgun, listenin' to "Big Poppa" You see, daddy was a street scholar I guess them knife wounds was mnemonic My momma lookin' at me like the new Mahler I'm hearin' her, that black king make Brooklyn look like Nigeria, uh [Chorus: Jakk the Rhymer] Puff, puff, pass Are you high enough? I'm just gettin' fired up It's like puff, puff, pass Puff, puff, pass Puff, puff, pass Are you high enough? I'm just gettin' fired up And this song is all that I can give you
