letra de concrete flowers - cyrus malachi

[chorus]
even concrete flowers reach towards the sun
searching for nourishments and the power to overcome
we’re all expressions of light connected as one
so let’s endeavour to shine even though we are kept in a slum
even concrete flowers reach towards the sun
searching for nourishments and the power to overcome
we’re all expressions of light connected as one
so let’s endeavour to shine even though we are kept in a slums

[verse 1]
within this melting pot of violence and hatred
movements of happiness i embrace and illuminate my day with
like sweet kids with smiles on their faces
playing kiss chase on desecrated pavements
one child fell down, grazed his knee, cried his way home
his mother bandaged it and kissed him on the cheek, it’s deep
our love is limitless like possibility’s perimeters
play fights, stolen salt and vinegars
got teased for wearing fake nikes, cheated the syllabuses
skipping school and egging houses
throwing water bombs, trying to pirouette blouses
laughing at alcoholics who slept outside on decrepid couches
riding old bikes through the council houses
inventing obstacle courses as we rode
the imagination is more precious than gold
glimpses of innocence i hold in my soul
’cause a child’s heart is a heart that’ll never grows old
summertime barbecues, early evening cookouts for olders
youngens played lookout
watch for bullet vans and jakes trying to push the book out
sisters came rolling hair, with abrasive stares
defence mechanisms so we don’t react to their glares
plates of [?], fried fish, banana fritters
curry, [?], rice and peas, wonderful dinners
kept our bellies full during cumbersome winters
cracking joke in the barber shop
we would laugh until we drop, getting facial touch ups
talking about sports and the latest bust-ups
couples loved up and cuddling
even though they can’t pay their bills
and their struggling is humbling
to see a family pulling together
when their loved ones lost to a storm of gunshots
we’re just concrete flowers that blossom from slum blocks
the future is ours, white doves flock
to a tombstone of pine box
inscribed with the words, “life is all i’ve got”
feeling reborn like discovering knowledge of self
self is knowledge, i exist in the sub-atomic
residing nuabic parchments
purer than a thousand [?]
my divine release like an angel’s catharsis
and i’ve paid off every dept, that’s [?]
the human spirit is surmountable, can overcome any hardship
i praise the most high for this arts gift i’m marked with
[chorus]
even concrete flowers reach towards the sun
searching for nourishments and the power to overcome
we’re all expressions of light connected as one
so let’s endeavour to shine even though we are kept in a slum
even concrete flowers reach towards the sun
searching for nourishments and the power to overcome
we’re all expressions of light connected as one
so let’s endeavour to shine even though we are kept in a slums
