"Black Roses" lyrics

I was sitting on the couch, listening to a song
When I heard my mama say my auntie gone
I was thinking 'bout the time I lost my sister
You won't understand 'til they not with you

Praying for better days, granny forgetting things
Memories steady fading
You got me sleepwalking in the rain
Don't know how to deal with pain

Ooh, I don't even cry no more
Black roses and cars, don't wanna go
All I see is church choirs and preachers
What happened to sunshine and beaches?
Ooh, I don't even cry no more
Black roses and cars, don't wanna go
All I see is church choirs and preachers
What happened to sunshine and beaches?

I was raised right, but I grew up 'round thugs
Uncle doing life, he was dealt bad cards
So many home boys dying on the block
Us killing us, ooh, we gotta stop

Ooh, I don't even cry no more
Black roses and cars, don't wanna go
All I see is church choirs and preachers
What happened to sunshine and beaches?
Ooh, I don't even cry no more
Black roses and cars, don't wanna go
All I see is church choirs and preachers
What happened to sunshine and beaches?
