Tupac (2pac) - The Rose That Grew From Concrete

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
                                                -'The Rose That Grew From Concrete' by Tupac Shakur


"You see, you wouldn't ask why
the rose that grew from the concrete
had damaged petals.
On the contrary,
we would all celebrate its tenacity
We would all love its will to reach the sun
Well...
We are the roses
This is the concrete
These are my damaged petals
Don't ask me why
Ask me how"
                   -Tupac Shakur
