Yo... listen...
They call you weed, yeah? (Madness)
Just some flower pushing through the concrete, zimme?
But man sees you different... For real.
Bap!

[Verse 1]
Yo, remember dem days, yeah? Young yout's name for you?
"Dandelion, wet the bed" – childish game, wasn't true
But that yellow bright? Yeah, that caught man's eye, straight through
Used to be my favourite colour, favourite view.
They see "teeth of a lion," thinkin' you're just rough, untamed
Despised by the gardeners, try blockin' out your name
But they don't know the levels, the strength in your frame
Like secret witchcraft, the way you play the game.
Pushin' through the cracks, where nuttin' else survives
Real recognize real, yeah, you got them survivor vibes.

[Pre-Chorus]
They preein' the surface, don't clock the depth inside
How every part of you gets used, nuttin' left to hide
That root mixed with burdock? Yeah, that's a potent blend (True)
That leaf in a salad? Different kinda trend.
You ain't just surviving, gyal, you provide.
Got that magic in you, can't be denied.

[Chorus - More melodic, layered vocals, strong beat]
Dandelion, Dandelion, they call you common, it's mad (So mad)
But your yellow hair shinin', best ting man ever had
Got them eyes that bewitch, yeah, exotic and bold
Forget a garden rose, you're my story untold.
Dandelion, Dandelion, adventurous and free
What you sayin' tonight? Come roll with G.
Forget the haters talkin', let them all fade
Be my City Rose tonight, in this concrete glade.

[Verse 2]
See, your hair fascinates, wild, ain't tryna be neat
Got that energy 'bout you, can't be beat.
You make the ends look brighter, add colour to the grey
Means I have more fun when you look my way.
Man's on the roads, yeah, doin' this ting for real (Hustle)
Know the pressure, know the struggle, know how it feels
To be stepped over, ignored, judged by the appeal
But your strength is different, gyal, your substance is real.
Like Mufasa and Simba, yeah, our vibe's strong like that
Built from the ground up, ain't no turning back.

[Pre-Chorus]
They lookin' but not seein', the treasure they discard
Every piece of you is vital, playin' your own card.
That root drink empowerin', that leaf sharp and clean
More valuable than flowers stuck in their dead scene.
You ain't just existing, gyal, you thrive.
Got that fire in you, keepin' hope alive.

[Chorus]
Dandelion, Dandelion, they call you common, it's mad (Check it!)
But your yellow hair shinin', best ting man ever had (Woo!)
Got them eyes that bewitch, yeah, exotic and bold
Forget a garden rose, you're my story untold. (Yeah!)
Dandelion, Dandelion, adventurous and free
What you sayin' tonight? Come roll with G. (Come through)
Forget the haters talkin', let them all fade
Be my City Rose tonight, in this concrete glade. (My City Rose!)

[Bridge]
Look, what you doin' tonight, for real though?
Let man take you somewhere the critics don't go.
Show you how bright you shine, away from the shade
Let me make your dreams come true, promises made.
You ain't just some flower, nah, you're a queen on the low
My Dandelion, watch how we gonna grow.
Yeah... my City Rose.

[Outro]
Be mine tonight... yeah.
Dandelion ting.
City Rose... dun know.
Yellow bright... shine on 'em.
