HOOK (Chant / Prophetic Declaration)
I am the rose that grew from concrete
Fire in my roots, and the truth on the beat
No rain, no sun—yet still I rise
Concrete can’t crush what’s Kingdom-certified

VERSE ONE – “The Bloom in the Ruins”
They buried me in silence, thought the streets would keep me quiet,
But I learned the language of the cracks and turned the pressure into riots.
I sprouted through the chaos where the hope was getting thin,
Every scar became a scripture, every thorn became my kin.
No gardener came to save me, no hand to pull the weeds,
Only God and grit and hunger, only prayers nobody sees.
I drank pain like holy water, sipped betrayal like it’s tea,
And with petals made of armor—watch me blossom, finally free.

HOOK (Repeat / Layered Choir)
I am the rose that grew from concrete
Fire in my roots, and the truth on the beat
No rain, no sun—yet still I rise
Concrete can’t crush what’s Kingdom-certified

VERSE TWO – “The Sacred Assignment”
The hood gave me lessons the schools couldn’t teach,
How to dream past the sirens, how to preach without a preach.
Concrete ain’t a coffin, it’s the stage I had to own,
It carved out my assignment, it engraved me in the stone.
I am proof that beauty comes with blood under the nails,
That the dirt they throw on you is just the wind that fills your sails.
Petals soft but thorns are law—touch me wrong and you will bleed,
I was born to break the surface, born to plant a Kingdom seed.

BRIDGE (Spoken Word Over Strings)
> No sunlight. No soil.
No map to show me how.
Still I rose, a holy rose,
With the pavement as my vow.
If you’ve ever felt forgotten,
Let my bloom become your sign:
The harder the ground,
The greater the design.

FINAL HOOK (Choir + Orchestra + 808s)
I am the rose that grew from concrete
Fire in my roots, and the truth on the beat
No rain, no sun—yet still I rise
Concrete can’t crush what’s Kingdom-certified
---
OUTRO (Fading Spoken Word)
"Look for me where the cracks run deep…
I am the rose that refuses to die.
And so are you."
