The Rose That Grew From Concrete
                        Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
                        Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet.
                        Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.

                        Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

                        By 2Pac Shakur
                        And Tomorrow
                        Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate.
                        Scared of being outkast, afraid of common fate.
                        Today is build on tragedies which no one want's to face.
                        Nightmares to humanity and morally disgraced.
                        Tonight is filled with Rage, violence in the air.
                        Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares.
                        Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops,
                        knowing that my sanity content when I'm droped.
                        But tomorrow I see change, a chance to build a new,
                        build on spirit intent of heart and ideas based on truth.
                        Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong because of pride.
                        I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.
