Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide No I can't hide No I can't hide What kind of man can survive without some damn pride Put my cards on the table, laid 'em all face up Except that ace in my sleeve that I still keep tucked Head full of poems burried in gold Like a young King Tut Till you wake up like Midas And you curse with everything you touch Turn your girl solid gold and you'll see what's what Dark days when the sun shines brighter And you lost what you love but you started that fire Regret's a cold bitch that'll stab you with an ice pick Just deep enough until you finally learn to like it Or atleast accept it's all part of life, shit Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide No I can't hide No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide No I can't hide No I can't hide Los Angeles, New York, my tale of two cities L.A. I started breathing N.Y. I started living Eighteen years of freeways and palm trees Traded it for the subways and zombies Hated every winner and the price of some bomb weed But I loved the way the city never sleeps Just like me Blood shot whites in my iris' coffee Handcuffed to memories, I write to unlock these Stories out my heart-shaped box and let 'em walk free Breathing out some life while all of these bodies dropping Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide No I can't hide No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide Rose up out the grave where we used to lie Now I'm running through the world No I can't hide No I can't hide No I can't hide
