The lack of care and surrounding did not prove to bring hindrance to the rose’s growth. Although it seems funny, but by focusing and realizing his dreams, it finally learnt to survive by breathing the fresh air around him. Refuting the laws of nature, the rose has learnt how to walk without having feet.
The poet begins the poem with a question that whether we have heard about the rose that has grown out from a crack in the concrete. The poem is highly inspirational and motivating the readers to focus and realize their dreams to make them come true. His hard upbringing fills him with imperfections, but he grows beautiful and prospers.The Rose that Grew from the Concrete by American rapper Tupac Shakur is about reaching our goals in life despite the hardships and conflicts that we face on the way. He is the rose that seeks care and nutrition from the wild and still manages to make a better life for himself out of it. He portrays his neighborhood as a place only good at recreating messes without giving any nourishment or love to the people coming from it.
The famed American rapper used the poem to represent his life and how he emanated from a place meaningless to society. While portraying the unnatural occurrence of the growth of a rose plant out of a concrete wall, he was trying to show how nature grows defiantly out of the confines of human structures. It has a preface by Afeni Shakur, his mother, Nikki Giovanni’s foreword and an introduction by Leila Stenberg, his manager. Pocket Books published it posthumously in 1999. The phrase comes from a poetry collection by Tupac Shakur from 1989 to around 1991.
