Joe - Rose In A Concrete World Lyrics






We were like soldiers, shoulder to shoulder
Back to back up against the wall
Always there to catch me if I would fall
If I was in trouble then you was in trouble
Never gave a damn if I was wrong or right
Never backed down if we had a fight

Passion gone away
Always thought that you'd be here to stay
See you on the other side
We will ride again

We would ride like the wind
On the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You're a rose in a concrete world

Ghetto to ghetto
Stiletto to metal
Trying to survive on a day to day
Living crazy was the only way
You were my strength when I was weak
Don't forget that you were unique
You were far too good for this world

Passion gone away
Always thought that you'd be here to stay
See you on the other side
We will ride again

We would ride like the wind
On the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You're a rose in a concrete world

We would ride like the wind
On the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You're a rose in a concrete world

(Break it down)
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
La, la, la, la, la

Passion gone away
Always thought that you'd be here to stay
See you on the other side
We will ride again

We would ride like the wind
On the steel wheels of soul
I can't believe how the road would turn
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You're a rose in a concrete world

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh no no no no no
No, no, no, no
La, la, la, la, la

La la la da da da, oh
La la la da da da, oh
La la la da da da, oh
No no no no no no no no

    Lyrics

    [Intro:]
    Yeah
    This one goes out to all the lost loved ones
    That's right
    No, ohh
    No, no

    Throw your hands in the air
    No, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    [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 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

    [Verse 1:]
    Ghetto to ghetto
    It's the meadow to meadow
    Trying to survive day to day
    Living 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

    [Repeat Hook:]

    [Repeat Chorus x2:]

    Break it down
    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, no, no
    No, no, no
    No, no, no
    No

    [Repeat Hook:]

    [Repeat Chorus:]

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    No, no, no
    No, no, no
    No, no no

    Oh, oh, oh
    No, no, no
    No, no, no
    No, no

  79. R.... R....

    Aaliyah would have been in her 30s today if she survived. RIP Princess of R&B (1979 - 2001)

    R.... R....

    She would have been 40 this year just like me.

  80. A.... C....

    You know what’s interesting, almost every time you see Aaliyah appear in a scene in Romeo Must Die, you hear this song. It was kinda like her unofficial theme for the movie. Weird but cool, Timeless...

    A.... C....

    thats cus she was marked for death. so sad tbh.

  81. c.... w....

    this song was definitely made for Aaliyah. R.I.P

  82. c.... w....

    spent a long time looking for this song. now I finally got it.

  83. R.... ....

    Searching for the song since I was 15 me and my cousin love this song

  84. N.... ....

    One of my favorites off that soundtrack

  85. c.... ....

    Man times aren’t like this anymore. R&B, music and fun was so different in the late 90s early 00s

  86. p.... ....

    RIP to my brother Boo G. When we were teenagers this was the only r&b song we could listen to together cause we had to be "tough." Now that he's gone, it's like it was meant for us to experience this song together so it would mean so much more now that he's not here. We'll ride again my G. One day!!!!

  87. M.... M....

    💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽ayyyeeeee!!!!Love this song!!

  88. M.... B....

    from 2017 RIP aalyah ♡

  89. J.... D....

    Old but gold *2017*

  90. M.... ....

    Romeo must die bought me here. I remember this scene that jet li was looking at aaliyah was walking to the street to her car. R.I.P. Aaliyah(BabyGirl)😇

  91. N.... B....

    I remember when this song was recorded. I miss you baby girl. Always and forever. #AAliyah

  92. S.... R....

    R&B at its finest. Just remember, the soul is immortal, Aaliyah is so much more than her physical body. Wherever she is, she's in the best place she can be. God's will is never wrong and I think she knew this.

  93. C.... R....

    Joe is the champ of r n b

  94. M.... D....

    Song made me think of the late great baby girl Aaliyah

  95. S.... A....

    Still inluv with this song 😍💛

  96. G.... V....

    This reminds me of when Master Splinter died in TMNT 2012, maybe someone should make a tribute of Master Splinter?
