Joe
Rose in a Concrete World
[Intro]
Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah
This one goes out to all the lost loved ones
That's right
(No, oh)
(No, no)
Throw your hands in the air
(No, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 1]
We were like soldiers, shoulder to shoulder
Back to back, up against the wall
Always there to catch me if I would fall
If I was in trouble, when you was in trouble
Never gave a damn if I was wrong or right
Never backed down if we had a fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Flash, I’m gone away
Always thought that you would be here to stay
See you on the other side
We will ride again

[Chorus]
We would ride like the wind on the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You’re a rose in a concrete world
(No, no, no, no)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
[Verse 2]
Ghetto to ghetto, stiletto to metal
Tryna survive on a day-to-day
Livin' crazy was the only way
You were my strength when I was weak
Young and gifted, you were unique
You were far too good for this world, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Flash, I’m gone away
Always thought that you would be here to stay
See you on the other side
We will ride again

[Chorus]
We would ride like the wind on the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You’re a rose in a concrete world
We would ride like the wind on the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You’re a rose in a concrete world

[Breakdown]
Break it down
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, no, no)
(No, no, no)
(No, no, no)
(No)
[Pre-Chorus]
Flash, I’m gone away
Always thought that you would be here to stay
See you on the other side
We will ride again

[Chorus]
We would ride like the wind on the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You’re a rose in a concrete world
We would ride like the wind on the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You’re a rose in a concrete world
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Outro]
(No, no, no)
(No, no, no)
(No, no no, oh, oh, oh)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
(La-da-da-da-da-da, oh)
(La-da-da-da-da-da, oh)
(La-da-da-da-da-da, oh)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
