[Verse 1]
Yo, block hot, sun don't shine, just gleam off chrome
Fiends fiendin', sirens wailin', ain't no place like home
Hard knocks, hard rocks, pockets full of lint, then green
Finna make a move, a king's gambit, unseen
[Chorus]
Concrete rose, through the cracks I grew, yeah
Concrete rose, now the whole world's my view
No more shackles, no more chains, just open sky
Concrete rose, watch a brother fly
[Verse 2]
Street smarts, quick wits, dodgin' bullets, duckin' strife
Every corner, a new lesson, learnin' 'bout this life
Hard grind, hard times, turnin' pennies into stacks
Finna break free, ain't no lookin' back
[Chorus]
Concrete rose, through the cracks I grew, yeah
Concrete rose, now the whole world's my view
No more shackles, no more chains, just open sky
Concrete rose, watch a brother fly
