Rose VS Concrete

Deshawn Yeldell 1977 (Huntsville)



Rose vs Concrete,
The people are concrete,
I can tell the way they hate me nothing but doubt,
I am the rose that found a way out,
Throughout the hard-knock I was talked down on from hoods to every block,
Unlock the mysteries let the prophecy be told as he appeared in mosaic gold,
he is the Rose that versus the Concrete.
