THUG- The Hate U Give

The Rose that Grew from Concrete

Inspiration from Tupac's Works

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 its dreams,

It learned to breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete

when no one else ever cared.
