Rose on Concrete


Dreams are nothing but absurd
That's what they choose to believe,
Oho! They must have never heard
About the rose that grew on the concrete,

Why do they choose to be blind
When the truth is there to see,
Oho! I hope in their heart they will find
About the rose that grew on the concrete,

I only wish you don't forget the truth
Or lose hope in the fight and leave,
Oho! Stop for a moment and let me tell you
About the rose that grew on the concrete,

Sometimes we all feel lonely
Even when we tell ourselves that we are free,
Oho! I stop and realize it is only a story
About the rose that grew on the concrete.


Wew! Tupac Shakur was a beautiful soul and his original poem, which in my opinion, talked about the strength of the human spirit even when thrown in the worst circumstances, can still become something utterly beautiful. And my belief that Rap is a version of poetry. Please don't kill me for saying that!

I'd love to hear what you guys think of this poem! Be honest with me!

Here is the poem: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rose-that-grew-from-concrete-2/ Here is a youtube link so you can hear the poem along with some other commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZkkMhTJCXY

I just copy and paste the links. That way people can see what they are clicking on.

Regarding rap and poetry, I agree with you that rap is poetry just like song lyrics in general are poetry.

Thanks for posting the links! Unfortunately, I can't even quote your whole reply because it seems I am still relatively new to the forum. And the system isn't letting me post anything with links on them.

*breathes fresh air* I'm glad you agree and yeah you're completely right, song lyrics are poetry.

Is this from Santa Clause's perspective?
