Tom: Am
Am C Bm Am C Bm
A rose in Harlem, a rose in Harlem
[Verse 1]
Am
Been through more than a lil' bit
Been through more than a lil' bit
Em
But I ain't callin' no names out
No, no free promotion
Gm
Naw, naw I ain't late, I don't do due dates
F
No sneak diss, no sneak shit
That's just how I was raised
Am
Had to get it out the soil
I been down, I been loyal
Em
When you really hold it down
Niggas ain't even really down for ya
Gm
Oh no, what a shame
10 years in the game
F
Niggas like 'You ain't hot? You ain't pop yet?
What's up wit' you and Ye?'
[Chorus: (Sample) & Teyana]

It be the ones who say they ride for you
Gm
It be the ones, the ones you love, them too
F
It be the ones who swear they real, not true
E
It be them ones, It be them ones
Don't get caught up

It be the ones, the ones you closest too
Gm
It be the ones, the ones you trust - them too
F
It be the ones, the ones you look up to
E
It be the ones
Dm
Don't get caught up, young girl

[Verse 2]
Am
Been through more than a lil' bit
Been through more than a lil' bit
Em
But I ain't callin' no names out
No, no free promotions
Gm
If it ain't 'bout blessings
I can't even address it
F
I just bought my third house
No album out and I got 'em asking
Am
'What do she do?' I do everything
I move everything
Em
Put that on my wedding ring
Gm
Put that on my baby name
All these fake smiles
F
These chicks must just came from a dentist
I can tell it ain't genuine
I get so offended
[Chorus: (Sample) & Teyana]
