The Rose That Grew From the Concrete/ Black Butterfly
Tupac Amaru Shakur/ Shakeena Jackson
Tupac-Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Shakeena- That grew in the Brooklyn neighborhood where the was no hope in repairing the sidewalks where cracks we’re prominent in the concrete pavement
Tupac- Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
Shakeena- Like a black Butterfly that only lives more than a day proving nature’s law to be incorrect and that it needs correction because
Tupac- It learned to breathe fresh air
Shakeena- No one is perfect so it took time and progress to learn to love nature and for the Black Butterfly and the Rose to become one
Tupac- Long live the rose that grew from concrete
Shakeena- Sidewalk that was able to have a small glimpse of hope
Tupac- When no one else ever cared
