The Rose That Grew From Concrete - Tupac Shakur

"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."


Last year i read "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" as an independent reading book, and although people laugh when they hear it was a book of poetry written by Tupac Shakur, it's actually a beautiful collection of poems. Many see the rough, rugged side of him, but what many don't see is the softer, more sensitive side of Tupac. This poems is a person, himself, who everyone doubted and no one gave a chance, yet because of perseverance and hard work he pushed through the adversity and found success.
