• Let me tell you something.
    If you walk by a street
    and you was walking on concrete
    and you saw a rose growing from
    the concrete. Even if it had messed
    up pedals and it was a lil to the side,
    you would marvel at just seeing a rose
    grow through concrete. So why is it
    that when you see some ghetto kid
    grow out of the dirtiest circumstance
    and he can talk and he can sit across
    the room and make you cry, make you
    laugh, all you can talk about is my
    dirty rose, my dirty stems and how I'm
    leaning crooked to the side. You can't
    even see that I've come up out of that.
