[2Pac, Nikki Giovanni - The Rose That Grew From Concrete lyrics]

You try to plant somethin in the conrete
Y'knowhatImean? If it GROW
And the and the rose petal got all kind of
Scratches and marks, you not gon' say, "Damn
Look at all the scratches and marks on the
Rose that grew from concrete"
You gon' be like
"Damn! A rose grew from the concrete?!"
Same thing with me
Y'knahmean? I grew out of all of this
Instead of sayin, "Damn, he did
This, he did this, "
Just be like, "DAMN! He grew out of that?
He came out of that?"
That's what they should say, y'knowhatImean?
All the trouble to survive and make
Good out of the dirty, nasty
Y'knowhahatImean unbelievable lifestyle they
Gave me i'm just tryin to make somethin

When no one even cared


The rose it grew from concrete
Keepin all these dreams
Provin nature's laws wrong
It learned how to walk without havin feet
It came from concrete

Did you hear about the rose that grew
From a crack in the concrete?
Provin nature's laws wrong it learned how
To walk without havin feet
Funny it seems but, by keepin it's dreams
It, learned to breathe FRESH air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
When no one else even cared
No one else even cared
The rose that grew from concrete

Did you hear
Did you hear about the rose that grew
From a crack in the concrete?
Provin' nature's laws wrong
It learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping it's dreams
It learned to breathe FRESH air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
When no one else, even cared

Keepin all these dreams
Provin nature's laws wrong
It learned how to walk without havin feet
(to breathe the fresh air)
It came from concrete
(to breathe the fresh air)
(to breathe the fresh air
To breathe the fresh air)

You see you wouldn't ask why the
Rose that grew from the concrete
Had damaged petals on the contrary
We would all celebrate it's
Tenacity we would all love it's
Will to reach the sun
Well, we are the roses - this is
The concrete - and these are
My damaged petals don't ask me
Why, thank God nigga, ask me how!
Ha ha haha
