A rose blossoming among the concrete
Please be alive
Thrive and grow, don’t snap
A blanket of thorns
How tough it must’ve been
Thank you for standing strong
By some, the ugly flowers are
picked on and snapped off
By others even the pretty
Are picked and end up withered
Why can’t you just let them be
Just mind your own biz
I’ve been through worse
I’ve been through the wringer, hey
I’m a rose among the concrete
Until this bleak city becomes filled with color
I’ll keep my head up, stand my ground until the end
Until they get drunk off of my scent and smile
Oh oh oh oh
No I’m not goin’ down I’ll be alright
Yeh I’m only goin’ up and Imma be alright
Hey
“I didn’t want any of this” I can say
I can hate but nothing will change
Looking back now
I see the me with eyes forward
Standing strong getting by moment to moment
Didn’t think much just believed in me
Sharp winds may blow
To cut my skin
All these worms they keep
Bugging me, digging inside
But no I’ll never back down
I’ll never be defeated
I’ve been getting through worse
I’ve been through the wringer
I’m a rose among the concrete
Until this bleak city becomes filled with color
I’ll keep my head up, stand my ground until the end
Until they get drunk off of my scent and smile
Keep it up
Oh oh oh oh
It’s a song for you and I
Say that we’re alive
Celebrate it now
I’m a rose among the concrete
Until this bleak city becomes filled with color
I’ll keep my head up, stand my ground until the end
Until they get drunk off of my scent and smile
Keep it up
Oh oh oh oh
No I’m not goin’ down I’ll be alright
Yeh I’m only goin’ up and Imma be alright
Hey
Keep it up
Oh oh oh oh
No I’m not goin’ down I’ll be alright
Yeh I’m growin’ up and Imma be alright
Hey
