VERSE Crumbling inside left to inhabit the lowest of mankind, I am the people, I am the society, you live and you make all your rules by. I’m suicidal, self harming everyday, oh yes I try to make it a ritual its for survival, missing a day means I’ve made a new rival. Not affluent or wanted, not sought after I’m just pondering, what I’m gonna do next, to get one up on these fools here, notoriuos by my nature, I won’t do you any favours, I’ve got good in me you’ll have to dig deep.. HOOK Ready to go, 24/7 I’m on road ‘cause, I am always trying to grow, don’t know how i still have this hope, from concrete, I am that rose. VERSE Lets play pretend, I give you power, work under me, I’ll give you towers and blocks and buildings what you desire, you want money, all that can happen, perpetuate my philosophy, divide and rule, don’t let anyone think for themselves, keep them busy getting by then they can’t question the circumstances of their lives. Go on then, time waits for no man my friend, we’ve all been forgotten do you have any option? What else is there ‘round here to do? Stop him he thinks he’s better than you, the pain I inflict’s the pain that i feel HOOK Ready to go, 24/7 I’m on road ‘cause, I am always trying to grow, don’t know how i still have this hope, from concrete, I am that rose. VERSE I struggled too long and I’ve come too far, from my ripped up trainers to my £50 car. You wanna laugh? come we go ha-ha, but guess who’s back on road shooting them bars? You can't see but theres depth to these scars, parentless and half-caste scuffing demons in my past, on these battlefields vigorous and vast around man on espianage on guard, Man-a chat when you upgrade your car, ‘you see seen in his new mo-tar?’ so I’m ready for the beef and I’m ready with the heat and I’m ready to go , how far? kinda got me thinking ‘bout ‘did i arks’ still out here i aint tryna not last, real, talk with that i should pause but i’ll done a mans dance if he threatens my walk. HOOK x2 Ready to go, 24/7 I’m on road ‘cause, I am always trying to grow, don’t know how i still have this hope, from concrete, I am that rose. OUTRO Twenty - twenty four - four. I am that Rose. Twenty - twenty four - four. I am that Rose.
