[Intro]
  Uh uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh yeah
  (This one goes out)
  (To all the lost loved ones)
  (That's right)
  No ooohh no no
  (Throw your hands in the air)
  No oh oh oh oh oh
  
  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
  
  
  Now you've 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 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
  
  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
  
  
  Now you've 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 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
  
  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
  
  (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
  
  
  Now you've 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 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
  
  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
