when a rose dies
wyclef jean
now they're running from the narcos
snitches got the court looking like a side-show
and the jury give the sentence with their eyes closed
the irony of life sometimes it makes me think
i'm only fresh for a second then the flesh stinks
its back to the earth with the fire ants
only thing i leave behind is my fingerprints
they caught my cuzzo with the fingerprints
i ain't seen my brother ever since
sigo en lo mismo traficando
en la mia y seguimos controlando
tiros en la calle siguen dando
miro pa'tra' y la poli me esta parando
y todo el mundo matandose
now they're running from the narcos
snitches got the court looking like a side-show
and the jury give the sentence with their eyes closed
when a rose dies another gun will grow
we went from barely getting cash from the sidewalk
to now we stand tall like jack and the beanstalk
you know what my people would do to get a passport
now i'm thinking that the ice is a diamond mine
that's a haitian seeing snow for the first time
i'm in a new york state of mind
while papa doc had niggas shittin' in the gun line
when a rose dies another gun will grow
