TOO MANY ROSES
Verse 1
Stay with me tonightYou know how this goShe been dancin' for hoursEyes closed, movin' slowWas all the gangsta feeling showNow her heartbeat not in controlI've been deep in too many zonesBut with her it feels like homeToo much heat in your mentalSo we move with the tempoPapa callin' on a centralWish she ridin' like a BenzoI'll be locked in like infoLike a leap out the windowSeen the world in a spiralStill I need you in my cyclePre-Chorus
When the moonlight talksI listen, money comin', friends go missin'I've been floatin', no permissionWhole crew glowin', hittin' the missionGet it on record, get it on waxMake it feel good, really so badPull my vibe, yeah, feel that glassCut through silence, break that maskVerse 2
Dark nights, we go holdin' faithCity cold, but the drums feel safeNever foldin', never too lateSeen the lost, but we movin' greatAlways walkin' in all blackBarefoot steps on a soft padAnd she pull me, never look backNow we dancin' where the stars atChorus
I seen too many roses, babyBut you're the only one that drove me crazyGotta keep the sound around meAnd a little fire to ground meI seen too many roses, babyBut you don't wanna feel like, maybeKeep the rhythm in the soul around meJust in case it ever gets hazyPre-Chorus
When the moonlight talksI listen, money comin', friends go missin'I've been floatin', no permissionWhole crew glowin', hittin' the missionGet it on record, get it on waxMake it feel good, really so badPull my vibe, yeah, feel that glassCut through silence, break that maskChorus
I seen too many roses, babyBut you're the only one that drove me crazyGotta keep the sound around meAnd a little fire to ground meI seen too many roses, babyBut you don't wanna feel like, maybeKeep the rhythm in the soul around meJust in case it ever gets hazyWhat the song means
This is a late-night love song about a narrator who has lived through many romantic and social experiences and now finds real comfort in one person. The opening verse sets a party or club scene. She dances with her eyes closed, and he admits he has been "deep in too many zones," but with her it feels like home. References to money, a busy crew, and a life of motion suggest a restless past that is now settling.
The mood shifts from excitement to determination. The pre-chorus describes floating, glowing with the crew, and chasing goals, while the second verse turns to faith through dark nights and a city that feels cold but still safe because of the drums. The chorus is the emotional center. The narrator has seen many "roses," which can mean many flowery romantic options or the surface beauty of past relationships, yet this one person is the only one who truly overwhelmed him. He asks for steady rhythm and a small fire to keep him grounded in case things become confusing. The song ends with them dancing under the stars.
The key images are the roses, which stand for past romances that lost their meaning; the rhythm and sound, which act as an anchor; the fire, which represents warmth and grounding; and the moonlight that "talks," which stands for inspiration and late-night clarity. Together they show a person who has seen a lot and wants something steady.
