[Emcee(s): L.I.F.E. Long]

[Intro: L.I.F.E. Long]
I don’t know what, yo. Just got to explain myself for a minute. I miss you, you nah’mean?

[Hook: L.I.F.E. Long]
Picking rose petals, sitting there, watching ‘em drop
Got my thoughts all twisted in knots
Searching for a love and I just can’t stop
Picking rose petals, sitting, watching ‘em drop

[Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long]
It’s just
Another love ballad. Picking rose petals
Got me dazed, all in my mental, high off of
Love and expressed over instrumentals, dental
Rays powerful, always bless whenever our source says
“Let’s see.” Met her while on tour long-distance
Opened at first, so I pushed up with persistence
We kept in touch from time to time. She fly all a-
-cross the world just to intertwine. Wasn’t one of
Those I had to wine and dine. She just wanted a little
Bit of my time. Feeling what she thought was an emp-
-ty spot. Record the same time on the dot
We’d chill out, conversate until the moon dropped, then meet at
Sunrise at our usual spot, no matter
The weather—either cold or hot, I’d be there
And so was my queen. The loving was unreal
Never ever seen, I’d pinch my arm, thinking
“This is a dream.” I realized she was really on my
Team, holding me down. Nothing could come between
So it seemed ‘til I caught bad luck
This other shorty was peeping. I got stuck, got
Myself in a rut for being slick. I’ll blame it all
On my dick. Now my girl’s saying I make her sick
Saying she couldn’t believe why I would disrespect
What we had just for one-night sex. I can’t
Call it. There’s no reason why. The other girl
Ayyo, she wasn’t even that fly. I realize that
As my love said, “Goodbye.” For the first time
I felt something missing, wishing we was caressing each other
And kissing. Now, lately, all I get is pure
Shade as I watch love I once had fade
(Fade) Watching love I once had fade
(Fade) Yo, yo, she’s singing to me like...

Picking rose petals, sitting there, watching ‘em drop
Got my heart all twisted in knots
Searching for a love and I just can’t stop
Picking rose petals, sitting, watching ‘em drop. Like
Picking rose petals, sitting there, watching ‘em drop
I love her, but she loves me not
Sitting there, watching ‘em drop, picking rose
Petals, picking rose petals, sitting, watching ‘em drop
