[Intro] x2
Am C Bm Am C Bm
A rose in Harlem, a rose in Harlem
[Verse 1]
Am
Been through more than a lil' bit
Been through more than a lil' bit
Em
But I ain't callin' no names out
No, no free promotion
C
Naw, naw I ain't late, I don't do due dates
F
No sneak diss, no sneak shit
That's just how I was raised
Am
Had to get it out the soil
I been down, I been loyal
Em
When you really hold it down
Niggas ain't even really down for ya
C
Oh no, what a shame
10 years in the game
F
Niggas like 'You ain't hot? You ain't pop yet?
What's up wit' you and Ye?'
[Chorus: (Sample) & Teyana]

It be the ones who say they ride for you

It be the ones who swear they real, not true

Don't get caught up

It be the ones

Am
Been through more than a lil' bit

Em
But I ain't callin' no names out
No, no free promotions
C
If it ain't 'bout blessings
I can't even address it
F
I just bought my third house
No album out and I got 'em asking
Am
'What do she do?' I do everything
I move everything
Em
Put that on my wedding ring
C
Put that on my baby name
All these fake smiles
F
These chicks must just came from a dentist
I can tell it ain't genuine
I get so offended
[Chorus: (Sample) & Teyana]
