Rose Gives Us 50

If you've followed Rose since his rookie season, then you know how special of a moment Halloween 2k18 was for his fans and for the culture. Congrats, Rose.

Remorse

It's like oh ten at my brother's crib and I'm in love with Caiti.

And I still care cause I wouldn't mind getting to call her baby.

Yeah, I know this might sound crazy and I need to move forward.

But lately,  I've been craving more. 

And what we had was cut short and I felt all the remorse.

Maybe I'm looking for more potential. 

Or someone with more credentials. 

Is it too cliche to say I still think of what could have been?

I always keep it one hundred, never 50 cent. 

But I'm not looking for power. 

Not opening up would make me a coward. 

So when you get this don't let it live in your mind. 

I just wanted to tell you I wondered if you stayed mine. 

 Is it such a crime? 

Stumbled

Walking through foggy days and misty nights.
Dreams of flying higher than a 8 year olds kite.
Deceptive wings try and attach but they only impede.
The direction they go in just don't agree with me.
I've stumbled.
Powerless on my back you hover above blocking the sun's beams.
Your taste far exceeds and brings joy like an herbivore in a land full of green.
But where shall we go?
Off into infinity but only we both agree.
Our souls both starved but I'm eager to feed.
Not only am I flying but my wants are satisfied not just my needs. And this exchange is mutual.
You've been waiting for the fresh open air but no ones been suitable.
But we both know your more than a pair of expendable delicacies.
An angel in disguise is all I see.

Notice it

I notice that we always catch each other's eye. Whether it's on purpose or it's by surprise.
I think we both know the thoughts going through each other's minds.
I walk by and I catch you smilin'.
Me and you need to get away on an island.
I know we have different backgrounds, but that shouldn't be a reason for us to back down.
The way you make me feel has me feelin' like a child now.
Butterflies like Michael, I'm sayin' prayers from the Bible.
Call me crazy but I'm far from psycho. When we talk you make my heart go real low.
I can feel it in my stomach.
What you servin' girl I want it. No leftovers to speak of or heat up. Promise I won't harm or mislead ya'. I got questions that I need to ask. When you see me do you think about your past? Did anyone ever do you bad? You don't have to worry anymore. This the great start you've been looking for.

Right moment

This is for my free-thinkers.
Just call this a heat seeker.
Cause you won't know its for you until it hits.
I promise it won't miss.
I swear your presence is a gift.
I should guest star on Grey's anatomy cause I got the patience.
Waiting for the right moment.
Got my cards covered, I don't wanna show them. So for now I just bluff.
Hoping that the little things are enough.
but this is only because, it seem like you got a good thing going on.
Never hesitate to hit up my phone.
We can discuss how you need a throne.
or just talk when you all alone.
I remember when I had a dollar and a dream and I thought you were out of my league.
Now I see alotta green like golf tees.
And I.. And I wanna go somewhere exotic. Maybe somewhere tropic.
But I'll settle for your mind and we can dive into any topic.
but for now I'll just sip some Stella. and just be happy that I met ya'.   

Luxury

You just gave me the juice.
I've been tryna think less about you, and more about what I would do.
If my wish came true. Cause I saw a shooting star and it was us I envisioned.
And like Daniel Craig I've been on a mission.
To make sure you never get to reminiscin' about your past or thinkin' bout any kinda competition. And that's for present tense too. So if you have any ties, don't hesitate to cut it loose. 
Ever since my eyes saw the windows to your soul. I've been plottin' on the day that we both glow. Cause apart we're sparks and once together we just might blow. Privacy is my favorite luxury. So you and me is who we can keep it between until we choose to leak.
And once it isn't so discreet. I wouldn't mind showing the world so they can see. The proper ways to treat a lady. She could be a Dodge in your eyes but I'll treat her like a Mercedes.

Inspirational

Aint been another like her.
God's gift to the whole Earth.
She got the power in her hands damn
She got the look in her eye man.
she'll take you on a new level.
she'll have you Feelin' real special.
This a different typa girl though.
Super inspirational.
she focused on the better things.
aint lookin' for no wedding ring.
and she hotter than the end of spring.
So tell me what you really bring?
to the table, if you ain't got nothin you need to bounce.
At least some ambition, what are you about?
shes about her fam.
and she got some plans.
Like a politician, you gon' need some clout.

Tis the Season

Look what love do.
I said you were the love of my life and you said the same too.
I've been blessed ah-choo.
The Lord placed an angel in my life.
I didn't even have to scratch and fight.
I had to endure some alone times,
but then like poof you appeared. Readily prepared to wipe my tears.
You come in my presence and I've never been more caviler. Like I'm out in Cleveland.
Girl, what are you doing this evening? I can go for a good eatin'. And you know tis the season.
I don't need to give many reasons. I know you on the other side of the phone cheesin'. Whoever had you last messed up they should have never leased it. I'll bring my duffel bag and buy it all in cash. Try every day to make you laugh. That smile sends me to space. And those lips always make me want a taste. Are you my soulmate?
