Aw girl, did you dance with the devil
Get ripped apart
Where’s your heart
Ah, I see it beating in the gutter
Well girl, what can I say
Life's a bitch, and then you die
But you don’t want to hear that
No,no, not in your beautiful world
Not in pin up poster world
Aw, girl
You want to go down to the love hospital
They’ll put you back together
But guess what
That beating heart
In the gutter
Maybe wants to last past puberty
So hey, I’ve been round the block
I’ll give you ten seconds of my time
Best ten seconds of advice you’ll ever hear
That rose growing in the garden there
Is that not the most beautiful thing in the world
Now, not only is that rose beautiful
It’s also very smart
It knows some jackass is going to try and take liberties
So it surrounds itself with thorns.
Do the same
Be that rose.

It’s really good
Be the rose
The beauty in its prime
Yet in defence hold the thorns
Not to be be hurt anymore
Thanks, Spilleronsheet.
"Life is a bitch and then you die". I remember when i heard Nas say that, i never thought i'd see it incorporated on a poem about love lol. Great poem, i always liked loss-of-innocence type poems, because its true, you gotta grow some thorns in this evil world we live in
You sure do, and you can even use them sometimes. lol
