Start
Every second every minute
In this compo girl you winnin

If you know you fly put your hands in the sky
If they hate then let em hate, Don't trip, you know why (2x)


Verse 1
Girl, I'm not Shakespeare, Not even Dr. Seuss
Took me about 6 whole days, to find the right words so I can talk to you

Stayin up countless nights to think of a way to put it all together
But time waits for no man, so i guess its now or never
I never seen a rose grow in the dark, but I seen one grow from a sidewalk

It may have been a little bit beating up... But think about it for a sec, MY GOD!!!
First off it defined all laws, that nature set in motion
Eve when others thought it was impossible, that rose kept on growin

I know you thinkin where I'm goin... With this !@#^ogy
Well I say that to say this... That is what you happen to be
At the least to me, in these rough conditions, you never let it take you under

Instead you kept growin strong, a definiton of beauty in all its wonder
9 times out of 10 I wonder, I mean I think about you
Even when I fall into slumber, all I dream about is you

My friends tell me I have a problem, I correct them, tell em an addiction
They look at me like I'm crazy, then I tell them mind their business


Chorus
Girl, I'm not tryna be explicit, I just want your attention
I just want to let you know that I know what I want

And what I want is you, What I want is you for real

Verse 2

Sorry If I caught in the moment, Wait, just lost my focus
I was tryna make a point here, ok... Where I was goin?
Think... Think... Think... Nope

Girl I had this all thought up and now I forgot what I wanted to... Oh
Ok, Came back to me like a round trip
I can't tell no lie you astounding, Wasn't looking for love but I found it

And I think I found it in you, been cool but I want to take it to the next level
Momma always told me in life strive for the best, never settle
That's why I'm pursuin, this thing everybody tellin me an illusion

They said that love a game? Well tell them I don't see myself losin
Thats why I'm lacing up, 30 seconds before that kick off
And I promise when I catch that ball, I ain't signalin a safe, I'm gonna give my all

Poetic Justice? Naw... This ain't no movie
You ain't gotta test me before our love scene, I ain't layin down with groupies
We aint travelin cross country US Postal with a couple goofies

Besides if I told you a rose grew in the dark, you would ask whats in the looseleaf

Chorus


Verse 3
I'll stand outside of your window with boombox, volume set on Max

With a playlist I made for you, all your favorite tracks, back to back
I'll send you a bouquet to your workplace, every day make everyone envy
I'll even take you out to dinner, let em know they can super size your Mc Ds

Lol, girl you know I'm kidding, But anywho I jokes to the sideline
Like I said in verse 1, time is of the essence, so I feel now is my time
To let you know just how I feel, I gotta make sure that its worded right

Gotta make sure I show the correct emotion... Gotta make sure that you heard right
Ok I heard.... right... You lookin for a man that can stay true
Because every other man played you... Maaaaan... If only they knew

That you a rose that grew from concrete, Somethin that should've never happen
And for that reason alone, you possess a beauty no man could imagine
Even if they tried they couldn't fathom, Couldn't wrap their brain around it

I think I'm the only one that caught on, Thats why I'm tryna put a band around it
Bands will make her dance? Guess I gotta polish up on my shuffle
In other words what I'm tryna tell you girl, is that I love you!!!


Chorus then end
