Yeah, sunflowers never grow in the ghetto
Because the sun doesn't shine
And the blood pours like rain on the patios
The heat dries up the vine, Yeah!
And the concrete makes you ascend
You know that because it won't let you grow
Without warning the season may change
And leave you lost in the snow
But I can't understand it
Why you have planted me
In such a desperate place
It's so unforgiving and nothing is living
It seems like it's such a waste
The trails of life they keep casting shadows, oh!
To keep the light down my view
Every morning I wake up with tears on my face
And they call it dew yeah
I'm stuck inside this dirt and I don't know what I suppose to do
It feels like I'm living in a tomb
Like I'm living in a tomb
They say that if I never learn to open up
I'll never bloom, oh!
But I can't understand it
Why you have planted me
In such a desperate place
It's so unforgiving and nothing is living
It seems like it's such a waste
Yeah, so I know you want my trust
And I don't know why you brought me here
I can't understand
All I know is Ima place my trust in you
Ima do your will where I'm at right now
Oh
