The Rose Bush ft. Silverio Strong Lyrics

I would like to use a metaphor, in this instance

A friend of mine, a very good friend of mine, taught me this

He taught me the concept of landscaping, and he referenced pruning

In this reference, he said

A landscaper, or gardener, prunes in three instances

The first instance that a gardener prunes

Is that a rose bush is going produce more roses then the bush can handle

The rose bush cannot sustain it, because the rose bush can only produce so much

So it can't feed all of the roses equally

So a gardener prunes the good roses, so that the best roses can receive all the resources from the bush

I thought to myself, humans should do the same thing

We produce way to many relationships in our life

Not all of our relationships are the best relationships

So we need to prune the good relationships, so that the best relationships can receive all the resources

So that we can receive all the nutrients, that the bush can

Cause we are that bush, we are, we are the vision of the bush

We want the bush to come into it's fruition

In order for that happen, you gotta trim the good ones

So that the best roses can get all the nutrients that the bush can sustain

That the bush is going to produce
