This song has a lot of truth but at the same time women cannot use its message to the answer to all of their problems. Women if you give it up early don't be surprised if the guy bails out, its not being a rose its called not having common sense.Also you cant point the finger at all men, believe it or not their are still honest men out here who are disrespected by women who only want the dogs who treat them like garbage. If you go for dogs don't be surprised when your alone with fleas...
@ZionofDreamz23 Many times the men don't show their shadow side until you are already deep into the relationship. Real men, should be honest about their intentions with a women. Real players don't hide who they really are. If you're an abuser, get with a woman who gets turned on by that. AND if you're a so-called honest, good brother, teach other men to have the integrity you have. Each one reach one and teach one so that our world can be a better place.
peace, yeah so what i got is that a woman should go into a relationship as a whole person. don't let a man take your power. your man should complement you. don't look for a man to complete or define you. last, a bad or failed relationship does not mean your bad person--rose is still a rose. k
this song is for those females that thinks that just cause a guy looks good and has money and all that shit, that he is the shit... when in reality he will be the first to harm you. i'ma rican male and i'll be the first to say that where i live we see alot of those sad cases. all i can do is pray for them females to find a better life. much luv.
This song requires listening to by our young women today. They are being used, beaten up, put down, told by many that they are ugly and undeserving. As Aretha said, "We are all precious in His sight."
i just remember when i first heard this song and saw the video, i felt very emotional. it reminded me of this guy who did the same thing to me. i love this message here. "a rose is still a rose" no matter how many come along and try to steal that beauty.
I just noticed that Lauryn Hill is barely in this song :( oh well I still love it
