Concrete Rose

Most know the story of the concrete rose
I suppose
But in case you don't know
This is how the story goes
Let me tell bout it's growth
The things that it's composed of
The story of the concrete rose

The seed, planted out of the love, of two people
Heaven sent a blessing from up above, they named him the sequel
Cared for him, taught him the right from wrong
Growing up charismatic, adaptable, head-strong
His personality blossomed society had him bubbled in
Taught him that being a buttercup was the greatest sin
The torment and the hurt, buried himself in the dirt
Shunning out the sun cause who really wanted a gay son
Were his thoughts and ideas he had crying to sleep at night
Telling himself he could be straight, n everything would be alright
Living a lie, the life he lived wasn't his own
He realized that late, but better than never is how the saying goes
The cracks in that concrete armor started to be exposed
He's grown now, living his best life, and it shows
On social media but struggles when the doors are closed
It takes baby steps, right in front of left, that's the growth, Fin

The story of the concrete rose

The seed, planted out of love
Heaven sent a blessing the doctor said it's a girl
The family was excited n spoiled the little tyke
Barbie dolls, dresses, even a little pink bike
Growing up they didn't feel right wasn't things that she liked
She was gettin in trouble at school getting into fights
Her parents asking her why she said "they called her dyke"
Her parents was quite confused they didn't know this wasn't right
They knew she had liked girls that much they understand
But she never told them truth about feeling she was a man
trapped in a woman's body that topic was kind of touchy
She didn't want to disclose cause she ain't understand it fully
At school she was he at home he was she
That double life complex weigh as much as concrete
He's grown now, gettin' top surgery to feel complete
To reach full bloom, grow from the cracks, that's what makes you unique, Fin
