[00:00.00]Thorn Or A Rose - Stephen Marley/Black Thought
[00:11.93]We come from so far
[00:14.17]And life is full of surprises
[00:18.01]Just know I'll never change
[00:21.27]No I'll never change
[00:24.92]No matter the circumstances
[00:27.76]Though this road can be demanding
[00:30.53]I'll always be the same
[00:33.71]Always be the same
[00:37.47]Never lose sight of who you are
[00:40.43]Temptation comes from near and far
[00:44.33]Wounds heal but leave a scar
[00:46.38]Make sure from the start
[00:48.12]It's from your heart
[00:49.61]Because didn't you know
[00:52.73]That the higher you go
[00:55.85]It's the more you'll expose
[00:58.87]If you're a thorn or a rose
[01:02.18]Because didn't you know
[01:05.22]That the higher you go
[01:08.39]It's the more you'll expose
[01:11.36]If you're a thorn or a rose
[01:13.91]Yah
[01:14.44]We're all products of the same stem
[01:16.44]Same blood same skin
[01:18.04]Same ghetto flower growing from the same pavement
[01:21.11]Rising to the challenge
[01:22.21]Of this world and trying to stay in it
[01:24.20]Paying tears and sweat
[01:25.86]Paying dues and paying rent
[01:27.38]Never shall I stumble I stay on the same wavelength
[01:30.44]Yeah the game is savage yo it's primitive it's cavemen
[01:33.63]Only way to save men and free them from enslavement
[01:36.63]Start to over stand each other like a native language
[01:39.78]Guiding one another down this road full of changes
[01:42.88]Although it's full of dangers
[01:44.43]We got to be courageous
[01:45.95]Let the vibes spread and make your bravery contagious
[01:49.08]Know you're going through the same book different pages
[01:52.23]People can be so vain
[01:54.06]Hustling can be so pain
[01:55.47]Ful and make
[01:56.21]Feel call all you do is work for no gain
[01:58.56]But before it bottles up the flames like
[02:00.96]Propane
[02:01.83]Inhale and exhale
[02:03.47]No stress and no strain
[02:04.87]Didn't you know
[02:07.54]That the higher you go
[02:10.64]It's the more you'll expose
[02:13.63]If you're a thorn or a rose
[02:17.33]Didn't you know
[02:20.09]That the higher you go
[02:23.11]It's the more you'll expose
[02:26.15]If you're a thorn or a rose
[02:29.10]We come from so far
[02:31.11]And life is full of surprises
[02:35.15]Just know I'll never change
[02:38.39]No I'll never change
[02:42.09]No matter the circumstances
[02:44.90]Though this road can be demanding
[02:47.71]I'll always be the same
[02:50.95]Always be the same
[02:54.42]Never lose sight of who you are
[02:57.51]Temptation comes from near and far
[03:01.44]Wounds heal but leave a scar
