Lyrics Smell My Flowers - Jerome Arab

Let me smell my flowers before I'm gone
Please don't wait till I'm six feet down
To let me smell my flowers in my home towns
Raise a glass in my name if I done you proud

Check it, When I had nothing I still gave away a lot
I shared my experiences and gave you time to talk
Most of you laughed like he think he really smart
But my hustle been different and I showed you from the start
I turned amateur theatre to a work of art
Man I penned songs that went straight to the heart
Call me indifferent but my difference left a mark and if you think I'm all chat
Ask them who brought them out the dark

But when I was down and out
Cold and lonely
Put my hand out reaching for a homie
When you all acted like you don't really know me
I still gave the little I had left of me
I was out for the count ready to fold gee
Head in my hands like somebody please hold me
Cause I was there for you when you never had a clue
Now all I ask is you see me for my truth

Let me smell my flowers before I'm gone
Please don't wait till I'm six feet down
To let me smell my flowers in my home towns
Raise a glass in my name if I done you proud

Maybe I'm expecting too much doing too little
Maybe I'm the awkward child like Malcolm in the middle
But when they mention my name what comes to your brain
And if it ain't what I'm thinking then I guess I'm really vain
But I'm tired of all the people in my inbox still taking
Cause you know I'm a sucker when it comes to relating
I mean Mr fix your show hear your song help you grow
I'm your last resort when everybody tell you no
Well if I fixed your show helped you grow or let you know
Which path is safe and which path will kill your flow
When your life got muddy I hosed you down for sure
I want you to speak my truth and let the people know theres more

Cause I still wanna give despite of all fakeness
This ain't a call out just reminder to the haters
That the source is alive despite of all your bateness
I hope you see you can never silence greatness

Let me smell my flowers before I'm gone
Please don't wait till I'm six feet down
To let me smell my flowers in my home towns
Raise a glass in my name if I done you proud

Yo I remember when I was a kid my grandmother always used to say
Be careful with you energy
Like don't just give give give because a lot of these people just takers
You know you give them the finger they go n' take your whole hand
You give them the hand they go n' take your whole body
But it's hard because it's in my nature
It's just who I am
I give

When I had nothing I still gave away a lot
Gave away a lot gave gave away
When I had nothing I still gave away a lot
Gave away a lot gave gave away
When I had nothing I still gave away a lot
Gave away a lot gave gave away
When I had nothing I still gave away a lot
Gave away a lot gave gave away a lot
