Guided Practice The Rose That Grew From Concrete -by Tupac Shakur Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

  13. The 94 hums up the rough side of Stanton. Washington’s View’s open windows blare drums in the pocket, the breakdown of the perfect groove. The 90 salsas across town into the forgotten bottom of DC, a car alarm echoes its protest on MLK two porch griots wail their pain and pity. On the corner, two preachers can be heard through the sanctuary walls, one reading scripture, the other ruptured in a moan. The smell of last night’s first drink poured out in a crooning ballad for the missed and missing  a song for a father, a song for a mother unchilded, a song for a child playing ahead of the beat, a nursery rhyme for every teddy bear rooted at a street sign. This is the sound of blues breaking the broken, back together; the sound of chaos, organizing; the sound of breath forming words in vinyl’s backspin these are the sounds gathered in blood, shed for remission of silence and sadness.
