Jayme Fortune - Portland Rose Lyrics

I feel like a rose, I know I got thorns but I rep my city
I don't do the most but I try, Lord knows I'll try
Break on out of the chains, you've placed
Nobody's saying you can't, except you put on the heavy weight
Around your neck like fingertips, around a bottle cap
When we twist, it resist before it snaps
Break on out of the pain you've faced
Nobody's having to stay, all you need to do is wake up again
Wake up again, stay up my friends, wake up, stay up
Don't deny it yeah, just let it be what it is
Don't you deny it yeah, just let it be
It's shit talk, believing that the distance
Between you and your goals is a mile-wide when it's only just appearance
New frame of mind, is what I need to rock your open mic
Shouldn't be hard if I let my attitude align
I'm going for it like my hand is glued to my mandible
I'll chew on each and every word like a can of soup
I'm going for it like a cannibal
Who ain't have no hands or toes by the basketful
But when he do he finna' eat it by the loads
I'ma eat 'til I explode, let my stomach be as big as Rick Ross, oh God
I'll be dripping in the sauce, you gon' need another plate
Kick my worries out the door, leave 'em for another day
I don't got no time to waste here, no I don't got no time to waste
But I don't want stay there, nah I don't want to stay there
I'm headed for my dreams, so get me to my bed so I can fall asleep
It go one for the money, two for the show
You can go and let your friends know
It go three if you're wit me, four for the city
We keep it bumping like a stereo
It go one for the money, two for the Rose
You can go and let your friends know
It go three if you hear me, Portland rock with me
When you're ready, let the door close
I got a job that pays for this food on my plate
My temperature is warmer every shower I take
America, a land so full of mistakes
How we kill and we devour every life that we've made
It's so bizarre, I wonder what will happen today
You in your car, driving down the interstate
Ya never know if you gon' make it to your dinner plate
So I'ma tell you right now to appreciate
Each and every moment that you're given
Tomorrow's never promised and today is where we're living
I'm torn between, who I want to be and who I feel I am
Breaking down the walls that I've built in my mind is my battle plan
I want to be myself, since I've been stuck inside
I got to stay original 'til the day I die
We learn to love ourselves, it's how we stay alive
Not only to survive, no longer live a lie
Who am I kidding? What is there to gain
I know, there are way too many things I cannot explain
I want to be who I'm supposed to be
Instead of thinking I cannot succeed, I want peace
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go
It go one for the money, two for the show
You can go and let your friends know
It go three if you're wit me, four for the city
We keep it bumping like a stereo
It go one for the money, two for the Rose
You can go and let your friends know
It go three if you hear me, Portland rock with me
When you're ready, let the door close
Wave your hands side-to-side if you want
Paul, I miss you, man I miss you
Light up and get high if you want
I'ma raise my glass the most
Danny, I miss you, man I miss you
For each and every soul that we lost
