[Verse]
Brooklyn stoops, shadows tall, graffiti prayers on the wall
Train screechin’, steel wheels echo Pac’s call
Concrete jungle, where the lions weep
City don’t sleep, but the dreams run deep
A rose that grew where the cracks would choke
Thorns sharp as the words he spoke
Ciphers lit, the truth cut through the haze
Pac’s ghost in the beats, still sparkin’ the blaze
[Chorus]
Tupac’s name still rings in the alleys
Echoes in the subways, whispers in valleys
A poet, a rebel, a spirit that glows
Forever he blooms, a concrete rose
[Verse 2]
From Harlem nights to Bed-Stuy blues
The ink on his page spilled untold truths
Scarred knuckles on the mic, fightin’ the system
His verses hit like fists, can't help but listen
Brooklyn to Cali, his voice was a bridge
Candlelight vigils on every stoop and ridge
A soldier’s heart, a prophet’s pen
Gone too soon, but the story won’t end
[Bridge]
Brass moans soft, the city holds its breath
Every horn cry mourns his death
The man, the myth, the fire, the fight
Pac's name burns bright in the Harlem night
