The Rose that Grew from Concrete

An Adaptation of Tupac’s, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete”

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Yes I hear stories of the ones who won’t admit defeat.
For them, it’s not a matter of pride, but a will to survive.
With the weight of the world on their shoulders, they turn to the Most High
Knowing it is He who will help them thrive.
Props to those roses with broken petals because their beauty shines from inside!
