[Verse 1]
I keep my word, I keep it clean
I move in silence, steady lean
Truth in my chest, no rented face
If I say I’m down, I stay in place
Loyal from the jump, I don’t switch lanes
Built on pain, still I know my name
World full of smiles with hidden knives
I read the room, I read their eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Rose bushes, feet stay bare
One wrong step, pain everywhere
I don’t fold, I don’t freeze
I can feel them in the breeze
[Chorus]
Rose bushes, snakes in the grass
I keep my truth, I let them pass
Rose bushes, I move with care
One hand up, I stay aware
Rose bushes, snakes in the grass
I keep my truth, I let them pass
Rose bushes, I know the signs
Loyal heart, and a sharp mind
[Verse 2]
I seen fake love dressed up fresh
Sweet on the tongue, poison in the flesh
They want the shine, they want the seat
But I want peace when I close my eyes at night
I don’t chase clout, I don’t need cheers
I need real ones that can face their fears
If you stand with me, then stand all in
If you fold on me, don’t call me friend
[Pre-Chorus]
Rose bushes, feet stay bare
One wrong step, pain everywhere
I don’t fold, I don’t freeze
I can feel them in the breeze
[Chorus]
Rose bushes, snakes in the grass
I keep my truth, I let them pass
Rose bushes, I move with care
One hand up, I stay aware
Rose bushes, snakes in the grass
I keep my truth, I let them pass
Rose bushes, I know the signs
Loyal heart, and a sharp mind
[Bridge]
I was raised to hold my own
Say what’s real and stand alone
If the road gets rough, I don’t run
I walk through pain till the work is done
[Chorus]
Rose bushes, snakes in the grass
I keep my truth, I let them pass
Rose bushes, I move with care
One hand up, I stay aware
Rose bushes, snakes in the grass
I keep my truth, I let them pass
Rose bushes, I know the signs
Loyal heart, and a sharp mind
