Rose From Concrete Lyrics

I was broke in a broke country Ever since I was a kid I knew I'd be something

Ever since the dyed high tops Whoever knew that I'd be the one using all

the eye drops Way before the rap man I knew this was coming

Way before the different strokes man I knew this drumming

My escape my childhood how you think I feel

Going on 17 years without paying bills How you think I feel

17 years I ain't pay no bills It's time to pay some bills

For real It's time to pay some bills

Family struggles but my mind on meals Granny calling saying don't forget about me

Bishop "working way too hard" Hope you don't forget about me

Granny I'ma make it though I been working hard

So you never have a vacant home Damn what happened to me now

I done found my meaning now everything they said I wouldn't

And I made it out just to make my family proud Walking through the rain muddy timbs feel the

rhythm now Faces all surround me why I think that I

surrender now Sorry I'm not perfect mama

But you know I'm working mama Been through the worst shit

Woke up 17 years ago with the worst script Forgot it's a long skit

So I tend to hit skip Tore up my whole world shit

Now my ex on my phone talking about her girl shit

This is what I do it for Music I was built for this

Got so many lyrics in my notes It's ridiculous

I got the flame and the torch Just to show I put in work

I done seen way too many people get what I deserve

Every time I look at her She see my father eyes

Every time I speak to her She hear my father lies

But from the beginning I'ma split an image of her in the 7th grade

Maturity was damn near grown for I even aged I still love it when you try your best

And you don't say a thing I still love it when I play my songs

And you say what to change Now I'm scared of the world mama

You can't save a thing You can't

You can't You can't

I'm the rose that grew from the concrete Mama loved grow like roots

But she stuck with someone who doesn't know they great

Ever since the age of 8 I think mama tired though

Or she recognized the slope of her nose and mine

I even tried to switch the pennies for the dimes

I failed a thousand times Forgive me for trying

I think mama tired though Or she recognized the slope of her nose and mine

Pennies for dimes I done failed about a thousand times

Forgive me for just trying
