[Tupac:] "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete. Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.." [Honey Cocaine:] As a yougin' all I had was a dream Rappin' to myself as my mama used to scream Papa getting violent and he beatin' her again They just feeling stressed 'cause they tryna pay the rent Papa, you a G though you did wrong Mama, you an angel 'cause you stayed strong Papa, it's alright, we have weak moments Mama, you a soldier 'cause you keep holdin' Uh But some days, we ain't have sh** And some nights, I was askin' "Why we so poor, but my friends not?" Just jealous of what my friends got Uh I was hungry and you fed me love Damn, you gave me yours, it wasn't enough Yet, I took it all and without a praise You made it feel like home and without a place Workin' like slaves, and I'm so sorry Ungrateful for the things you done did for me Comin' home from school, disrespecting Acting like I ain't have blessings Dear, Mama the council won't get you If you try to go, I won't let you A careless a** kid, but I'm tryna change it I just need to tell you I appreciate it [Tupac:] "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete. Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little.. you know, to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.." [Honey Cocaine:] As a youngin' all I had was a dream You was my brother, my hero, my team I was down for you, all you did was sell I was growin' up while you was in and out of jail Waitin' at the court room, all of us silent You was never home, you was always so violent How you think I felt when I visited the prison Of where my brother at while my partner gone missin' I was gone dissin', but I was just hurt From all those nights, those fights, those words sh**, we used to argue all the time, I hated you And witnessing your drug dealin' and I hated, too It was my birthday and then some next sh** All them times, you just got your a** arrested Family stressin', I'm surprised you ain't dead From a life of a crime, and that war with the FEDS Have you thought 'bout what you put me through? HUH? And all the things I had to do for you Like deal with the people who spoke your name Like this b**h who disrespected you, I broke her frame But it's okay, I'm your baby sis And some day I just may be rich And I got you, I ain't gotta say it I just wanted you to tell me you appreciate it [Tupac:] "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete. Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little.. you know, to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.."
