the  rose  -  memphis  may  fire

swimming  against  the  current,

it's  been  this  way  from  day  one.

always  an  uphill  battle,

we  never  got  a  single  handout  from  anyone.

from  anyone.

so  tell  me,  if  we  were  "damaged  goods,"

then  what  does  that  make  you?

as  far  as  i'm  concerned,

you're  nothing  more  than  just  a  worthless  suit.

we  are  the  rose

we  are  the  rose

we  are  the  rose  that  grew  from  the  crack  in  the  concrete.

i  never  doubted  for  a  second

even  when  you  left  us  on  our  own.

don't  you  wish  you  would  have  known?

how  does  it  feel  now  that  you're  in  the  back  seat?

i  guess  you  should  have  had  a  little  more  faith  in  me.

now  i  won't  take  all  the  credit,

but  you  sure  don't  deserve  an  ounce.

so  go  &  talk  the  talk  while  we  walk  the  walk.

there's  no  way  that  you  can  stop  us  now!

we  are  the  rose.

we  are  the  rose

we  are  the  rose  that  grew  from  the  crack  in  the  concrete.

i  never  doubted  for  a  second

even  when  you  left  us  on  our  own.

don't  you  wish  you  would  have  known?

how  does  it  feel  now  that  you're  in  the  back  seat?

i  guess  you  should  have  had  a  little  more  faith  in  me.

you  can  lie.

you  can  cheat  your  way  through  life.

you  can  take  what  you  don't  deserve  until  you  die.

you  can  lie.

because  when  they  said  we  couldn't  we  did!

one  day  you'll  be  forgotten.

when  they  said  we  couldn't  we  did!

they'll  remember  our  name  forever,

because  when  they  said  we  couldn't  we  did!

i  forgive  you.

it's  not  your  fault  you  couldn't  see  what  i  saw.

you  never  were  to  care  about  the  underdog.

we  are  the  rose.

we  are  the  rose  that  grew  from  the  crack  in  the  concrete.

i  never  doubted  for  a  second

even  when  you  left  us  on  our  own.

don't  you  wish  you  would  have  known?

how  does  it  feel  now  that  you're  in  the  back  seat?

i  guess  you  should  have  had  a  little  more  faith  in  me.

we  are  the  rose.

we  are  the  rose  that  grew  from  the  crack  in  the  concrete.

i  never  doubted  for  a  second

even  when  you  left  us  on  our  own.

you  left  us  on  our  own!

i  guess  you  should  have  had  a  little  more  faith  in  me.
