Lil Culture's Flowers Lyrics

You took my hand

And showed me a plan

You showed me I can

And then I ran

And I ran far

But to me, you're still a star

I'm here to gift you flowers

You deserve your flowers

New York concrete, it all looks familiar

Walking down lone streets but surrounded by others

Streets are feeling bleek even if we sonder

I don't feel complete, this hurts more than my father

Liquor stains my teeth, I might have another

Haven't had sweet dreams, I really miss my brother

I am feeling weak, I had to learn that love hurts

Here I go & bleed but then a light comes under

Was the one & only, the truly Lil Culture

No one's done this to me, not even Stevie Wonder

Told myself to breathe, I studied him & learned

Listened, couldn't believe, the Poet flowed his words

Made me start rapping, the reason I make bangers

Connected gouda cheese, I have built my world

Culture's the reasoning, but now this is my turn

Retaught me to be free, now I make it all burn

You took my hand

And showed me a plan

You showed me I can

And then I ran

And I ran far

But to me, you're still a star

I'm here to gift you flowers

You deserve your flowers

DOOM was my role model, he taught me to be brute

Filled a hole that's hollow & so I followed suit

Culture cut off throttle, I started making tunes

Lost connection with bottles, revitalized my truth

His creativity, truly an inspiration

Rap about anything, realized I can have fun

DOOM is always my favorite, your music saved my life

But Culture made me start, made me revitalized

Instinctive compass, told me where I need to go

Heart on your sleeve & it for sure shows

Made me Lil Gouda, helped & made me glow

Now I'm the best, I always was but you made me grow

Instinctive compass, told me where I need to go

Heart on your sleeve & it for sure shows

Made me Lil Gouda, helped & made me glow

Now I'm the best, I always was but you made me grow

I remember seeing your video & was blown away

I felt something else inside me & I knew what I must make

Wrote my first song 'Stressed' & I felt great

Found my voice & identity, hit the mic & started rapping

I am God so everything I make is always incredible

And I would've been without you, but you put the words to my note

Student becomes the teacher & man, I'm the best

But I owe you so much, I hope that we'll be friends

You took my hand

And showed me a plan

You showed me I can

And then I ran

And I ran far

But to me, you're still a star

I'm here to gift you flowers

You deserve your flowers

Instinctive compass, told me where I need to go

Heart on your sleeve & it for sure shows

Made me Lil Gouda, helped & made me glow

Now I'm the best, I always was but you made me grow
