"The Rose that Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur


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 it's dreams

it learned to breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete

when nobody else ever cared!
