Flowers Lyrics

[Intro]
High art

[Chorus: Courtney Orlando, Natalie Lauren, Swoope]
So I'm givin' you flowers
For the light that you'd be (Light that you'd be, yeah, ah-ah-ah)
If life is a movie (Life is a movie, ah-ah-ah)
This you'll see (This you'll see)
Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em
King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum
Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em (Ah-ah-ah)
Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em
Gotta put good energy out, it's a vibe (Ah-ah-ah)
I don't lose buildin' you up, we could rise
Before you go buy bouquets 'cause they in heavеn (Ah-ah-ah)
Make sure you give 'еm they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 1: Courtney Orlando]
First just let me apologize (Let me just apologize)
For all the times that I was [?] now (Man, I was wild)
Like a prophecy from heaven (Heh heh)
You predict that it would happen (You always do it for me)
I don't know how you did it, it was magic for sure
The tricks that you'd pulled to make sure it was good
Fighting your demons so that we could slay ours
Prayed for the light, now we're shining in yours
And I wanna say thank you (Thank you)
For all of the sacrifices you made
All praise is due to Yahweh for the gift of a mama's love
[Chorus: Courtney Orlando, Natalie Lauren, Swoope]
So I'm givin' you flowers
For the light that you'd be (Light that you'd be, yeah, ah-ah-ah)
You deserve flowers for all eternity (For eternity, Ah-ah-ah)
If life is a kingdom, then you are its queen (You are its queen, Ah-ah-ah)
If life is a movie (Life is a movie, ah-ah-ah)
This you'll see (This you'll see)
Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em
King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum
Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em
Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 2: Sho Baraka, Natalie Lauren]
We tear each other apart with great detail
But when it's time for love, it's amazing how bad we fail
I owe my praise in the form of a check (Ayy)
Reclaimin' my time, that's how you paid me respect (Ayy)
It's crazy, I'm sittin' here expecting so much praise, but
I should call my grandmother on many days (Hello, yeah)
I act like praise don't matter, I be lyin'
I should have been closer to Fish when he was dyin'
I should shout out Reach a lot more, I be tryin' (Ah-ah-ah)
Please show public support, don't be spyin'
All I desire was inspired by the ones who came before (Ah-ah-ah)
Some of you should be praisin' the Cross Movement more
I tell my brother eye-to-eye, dignity is your power
Disregard is a few of an insecure coward
Make 'em laugh once a day, make 'em smile every hour Let your life be a garden, I love the smell of flowers
[Chorus: Swoope, Natalie Lauren]
Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em (Ah-ah-ah)
King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum
Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em (Ah-ah-ah)
Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 3: Natalie Lauren]
Lightbulb, you should know 'fore I let you go
I'll make you a garden, I'll save you the harvest
Please, flowers
And [?] I reach us cleanin' up, the tables are turnin'
Brand new sun, I'm glad we see black complexion underneath
After the bouquet broke, you said "Have a rose"

[Chorus: Swoope]
Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em
King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum
Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em
Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 4: Swoope]
Yeah (24), uh-huh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh
A new 24 we been blessed with
Full day or shot clock, is it hours or seconds?
Jack Bauer I'm guessin'
Either way, the cliche "Seize the day" finna get scratched out of my checklist
Ak-town is the essence, state the OH
Get tatted all on my left wrist, reppin' 'til I die
I'm West Side until I exit
Write raps until I'm left with the right way, so I guess I'm ambidextrous
Gotta give bouquets before my beginnings gone
'Cause every five minutes, I'm thinkin' "Damn, Nipsey gone"
Hustle wasn't new, he just didn't get his stu'
'Til we seen him in the silk blue wit' the loafer shoes, goin' higher
I wish I would have gave you your gifts before they shot you
Wish Kobe would have taken the whip 'stead of the chopper
I pray you flyin' high wit' Gianna
It's 24, here's to honor the Black Mamba
[Interlude: Courtney Orlando, Swoope]
If life is a movie (Life is a movie)
This you'll see (This you'll see, yeah, High art)

[Verse 5: Swoope]
They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
But the truth is, you had it and you knew it, you just never thought you'd lose it
I'm lucid', I'm givin' out these tulips through my two lips
Before I'm pushin' daisies, put petunias in my music
24 hours, another day on this planet
Got a choice to be grateful, or you could take it for granted
You could stop wit' complainin' or stop and smell the roses
Then take them same roses and put 'em to people' noses
Most people don't know if you really love 'em which is scary
'Cause the only time you say it is obituaries
Tryna' put my heart in these bars, take it in
Garden full of flowers for y'all, take a whiff, mm

[Outro: Swoope]
24
New day
Uh-huh
Let's go!
