Lyrics From the Concrete - Samedee
2pac
in
my
ear
plugs,
looking
in
the
mirror,
with
a
Smile
on
my
face,
I'm
the
child
of
a
great
woman
One
of
the
women
I'll
kill
for
(For
real)
She
watched
me
grow
and
get
bigger,
and
my
dad
a
real
father
figure
(Un
huh)
For
me,
my
brothers,
and
sister
All
they
really
want
is
to
be
winners
Windows
to
my
soul
show
that
I'm
focused,
open
minded
poet
Pouring
potent
poetry
in
the
ocean,
out
of
my
head,
my
words
are
floating
Growing
up
I
devoted
myself
to
these
poems,
wrote
'em,
filled
'em
with
so
much
emotion
I
am
from
over
east,
you
can
be
strolling
down
the
street
and
get
your
life
stolen
(East
side)
The
hood
full
of
culprits,
so
I
paid
attention
to
the
niggas
I
rolled
with
Separated
myself
from
the
rest
of
them,
cuz
true
colors
started
exposing
Police
patrolling,
waiting
for
probable
cause
to
come
put
a
hole
in
my
clothing
(Fuck
'em)
My
innocence
was
stolen,
by
wicked
witches
putting
spells
on
me,
Hocus
Pocus
(Ha,
ha,
ha,
ha)
Never
was
homeless,
but
my
home
is,
in
the
concrete
jungle
Abandoned
buildings,
abandoned
children,
on
the
corners
Fucked
up
school
system
Niggas
drop
out,
and
then
go,
enroll,
into
prison
Living
in
a
world
that's
so
sadistic,
I
ain't
trying
to
be
no
statistic
I'm
trying
to
make
it
out,
make
it
out
alive
(Out
alive)
I
must
do
it
now,
cuz
I'm
running
out
of
time
(Out
of
time)
Chicago
born
and
raised,
raising
in
the
sun
(Raising
in
the
sun)
If
time
is
money,
I
can't
waste
no
funds
(Waste
no
funds)
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
In
my
glow,
so
nigga
just
watch
me!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
Ima
blow,
nobody
can
stop
me!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
In
my
glow,
so
nigga
just
watch
me!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
Ima
blow,
nobody
can
stop
me!
Sitting
in
the
front
of
the
bus,
but
they
want
me
in
the
back
like
rosa
(I
am)
No
fucks
are
given,
I
won't
give
up
my
position
to
no
one
In
the
concrete
jungle,
don't
trust
too
many,
my
dogs
turned
out
to
be
cobras
(Fuck
'em)
My
goal
is
to
blow
up,
witness
my
come
up,
like
you
believe
in
Jehovah
Toast
up
to
life,
po'
up
mimosas
(Cheers)
Chicks
use
to
diss
me,
ain't
know
I
would
grow
up
To
be
a
mocha,
handsome
young
lotus
I
blossomed
and
then
I
become
they
main
focus
(Yeah!)
Now
they
blow
up,
my
phone
trying
to
work
it
out
like
yoga
Trying
to
get
me
to
come
over,
but
I'm
over
the
old
cru-shes
That
I
use
to
have
as
an
adolescent,
back
in
high
school
in
the
back
of
classes
Laughing
with
my
homies,
looking
at
the
asses
(Ha,ha)
Knew
some
chicks
who
ain't
care
and
would
let
me
grab
it
Wishing
they
grant
me
access,
but
I'm
much
more
mature
now
The
girls
that
I
use
to
like,
they
were
cute
and
fine,
but
they
look
like
manure
now
(What
happened
to
you)
I'm
trying
to
make
it
out,
make
it
out
alive
(Out
alive)
I
must
do
it
now,
cuz
I'm
running
out
of
time
(Out
of
time)
Chicago
born
and
raised,
raising
in
the
sun
(Raising
in
the
sun)
If
time
is
money,
I
can't
waste
no
funds
(Waste
no
funds)
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
In
my
glow,
so
nigga
just
watch
me!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
Ima
blow,
nobody
can
stop
me!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
In
my
glow,
so
nigga
just
watch
me!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
I'm
the
rose
that
grew
from
the
concrete!
Ima
blow,
nobody
can
stop
me!
