Concrete Rose
Have you ever heard the story
Of a rose walking without feet
2Pac expressed this allegory
Of how it accomplished this feat
Growing outta the concrete
Struggling to survive
Nodding its head to the beat
Motivated it to thrive
It had a drive unconquerable
Unbridled passion in its veins
Showed that it was unstoppable
Telling the world to bring the rain
Had growing pains along the way
Society tried to make it fold
Tenacity just wouldn't sway
Everyday remaining bold
Of a rose walking without feet
2Pac expressed this allegory
Of how it accomplished this feat
Growing outta the concrete
Struggling to survive
Nodding its head to the beat
Motivated it to thrive
It had a drive unconquerable
Unbridled passion in its veins
Showed that it was unstoppable
Telling the world to bring the rain
Had growing pains along the way
Society tried to make it fold
Tenacity just wouldn't sway
Everyday remaining bold

Great flow dude and we once grew roses, well we had two very nice plants. We can see sidewalk flowers in this piece, regardless of the obstacles and being tread on they so how endure. This is the only way to describe some who have survived what life has thrown. Tight work dude
