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."
This poem was written before he was famous, so it doesn’t symbolize Pac’s rise to fame, but talks more about the fact he came from nothing and sees himself as something beautiful that can succeed from a tumultuous and hostile environment. Concrete is the primary building material in cities, therefore it symbolizes an inner-city environment and upbringing. Concrete is hard, rough, grey, monotonous; if you fall on it, it hurts. Similarly, the ghetto (made of concrete) is a hard place to live in (poverty, drugs, crime, violence) and it is easy to “fall” and hurt yourself (jail, murder, missed opportunity, lack of opportunity).A rose, on the other hand, is sweet-smelling, bright-coloured, pleasant, soft, with connotations of romance. It is, however, dangerous, because of its thorns. This represents Tupac (or another urban child/adolescent), who managed to find self-expression and identity in a hard place, sometimes through self-defense.
This Piece (Poem) Speaks To Me Coz Its Like Saying No Matter Where You Came From. (How Rough, Hard, Bad, Tough, Dark) Your Back Ground Was.. You Can Always Have a Brighter Future Plant Something Beautiful :) #Every Saint Has A Past, But Ever Sinner Has A Future #I Believe Im A "Diamond In The Rough, A Rose Grown From Concrete" I Changed My Life Around For The Better :) #We Can All Grow From The Hardships In Life :) #Make A Better Future Out Our Past #Turn Our Test To A Testimony Our Mess To A Message Make Something Beautiful :) A Person With A Dark Past, Comes Out With The Most Beautiful Future :) #Be Encouraged #Be Inspired #Words Of Encouragement #Words For The Mind #Something To Think About
