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
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?
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

Romeo must die brought me here when Jet Li went in the taxi and asked hin to follow her too see where Trish lives R.I.P. to my childhood crush Aaliyah my favorite singer of all time ever. It's 2019 still listening to this and love Romeo must die if I saw a pretty girl like Aaliyah I would help carry her groceries into her apartment.
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
Rip to all who have been taken away from us by nature, accidentally, illness, prematurely, or murdered,..
Rip Aaliyah!!!!
Watching Romeo Must Die right now. I heard this and it instantly brought back memories. I had to come find it. ❣❣ Good music.
Romeo Must Die...S.I.P Aaliyah
Who still playing this in 2019 this is a sexy song
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
so nostalgic
What a powerful song
Yo...am I the only one who jams to this, but can’t understand a damn word he says HAHA. Beat is the jumpoff, but what is he saying!?!? Lol
Today's marvin Gaye
Joe love this song miss the princess of rnb aaliyah each and every day I even named my dog baby girl so she stays in my mind such a beautiful song thank you joe!
I miss aaliyah 💚
just me wanted to hear this song brought me here
I miss your pretty face and song aaliyah
The fact this song was playing during aaliyah scene 😭😭😭
They took this off of iTunes nooo 💔
Thank yo8
There was heart and feeling back in the 90s. Nowadays kids are given antidepressants in schools to stop feeling and showing heart.
This song is fire
Repeat button broke 😔😖😭
THE BEST FROM JOE 👌👌👌
If I was in troubleee u was in troubllllleeee...
Why is this not on the Romeo must die soundtrack or on this they claim it's on😡😡
Still rocking to this 2019! 😘
Odd that this song would play in Romeo Must Die BEFORE Aaliyah was dead
I love you aaliyah
This song just popped in my head out the blue, only eyes in the sky knows why
Aaliyah shoulda been on this song
I dont get it
This song is heartbreaking
What a song 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😍😍
A song about a lost loved one that DOESN'T sound sad...
Well done! 👏👏
If you don't pay attention to the lyrics, it sounds like a smooth, groovy R&B love song!
Awesome!
Who listening in 2019?
Here because of Romeo must die❤️❤️❤️
That hook man! THAT HOOK! Propz

It's like Joe knew something. He song this song like 4 years before her death. I was born in 1979. RIP Aayiah
Wow your right
💖Aaliyah 💖
an this iz where I've ended up, so you being happy is more important, we can't do anything about it love, xo
Happy anniversary baby girl I miss u even more on this day cause you lost your life less than an hour ago on august 25 and it’s a Saturday also😩😭👼🏿
2018 ❤
Bestest song I have ever heard
Classic soundtrack I'm so glad I brought the CD, I still play it.
I think it's horrible that Aaliyah didn't get to see her mid 20s none of her 30s and next year she would be turning 40 years old 😢life is just so unfair
My favorite song. Always hit repeat
👏👏😍 like show 👏

I love you, Secoia ♥️
Evelyn and Jen Tribute brought me here!
Joe the goat
Here for Aaliyah Romeo must die
he rides a beat so well.
joe is so smooth...those guitars.
joshua thompson j skinner and joe??..
J Dub!!.
Romeo must die brought me here
i really miss the old days now there is so much disorder in the world
Aaliyah would have been in her 30s today if she survived. RIP Princess of R&B (1979 - 2001)
She would have been 40 this year just like me.
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...
thats cus she was marked for death. so sad tbh.
this song was definitely made for Aaliyah. R.I.P
spent a long time looking for this song. now I finally got it.
Searching for the song since I was 15 me and my cousin love this song
One of my favorites off that soundtrack
Man times aren’t like this anymore. R&B, music and fun was so different in the late 90s early 00s
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!!!!
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽ayyyeeeee!!!!Love this song!!
from 2017 RIP aalyah ♡
Old but gold *2017*
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)😇
I remember when this song was recorded. I miss you baby girl. Always and forever. #AAliyah
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.
Joe is the champ of r n b
Song made me think of the late great baby girl Aaliyah
Still inluv with this song 😍💛
This reminds me of when Master Splinter died in TMNT 2012, maybe someone should make a tribute of Master Splinter?
