The Rose That Grew From Concrete Lyrics - 2pac

[2Pac Shakur] 

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 

[Spoken part] 

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 its 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 its dreams 

It learned to breathe FRESH air 

Long live the rose that grew from concrete 

When no one else, even cared 

[Nikki Giovanni] 

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 its 

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! 

Hahahaha..
