| Joe "Rose In A Concrete World" |
| (Intro) |
| Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah... |
| <This one goes out> |
| Mmmh..., mmmh, no, oh, no... |
| <To all the lost loved ones> |
| <That's right> |
| No, oh..., no, no... |
| <Throw your hands in the air> |
| No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... <Come on, come on...> |
| (Verse 1) |
| We were like soldiers, shoulder to shoulder |
| Back to back against the wall |
| Always there to catch me if I would fall |
| If I was in trouble, when you was in trouble |
| Never gave a damn if I was wrong or right |
| Never backed down if we had a fight |
| (Hook) |
| Now that you've gone away |
| Always thought that you'd be here to stay |
| See you on the other side |
| We will ride again |
| (Chorus) |
| We would ride like the wind |
| On the stairways of sin |
| I can't believe all the wrong would turn |
| Now that you're gone, how can I go on |
| You were a rose in a concrete world |
| No, no, no, no... |
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... |
| (Verse 2) |
| Ghetto to ghetto |
| It's the meadow to meadow |
| Tryin' to survive day to day |
| Livin' crazy was the only way |
| You were my strength when I was weak |
| Young and gifted, you were unique |
| You were far too good for this world, oh... |
| (Hook) |
| (Chorus) x 2 |
| (Break it down) |
| Oh, no, no, oh, no, no |
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no |
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no |
| No, oh, no... |
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... |
| (Hook) |
| (Chorus) x 2 |
| Oh, no, no, oh, no, no |
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no |
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no |
| No, oh, no... |
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... |
| La, la, la, la, la, da, oh |
| La, la, la, la, la, da, oh |
| La, la, la, la, la, da, oh |
| La, la, la, no, no, no, no, no... |
