2pac - The Rose That Grew From Concrete Vol. 1 lyrics

* Poems written by Shakur as ~ interpreted by other artists Love within a storm (4x) First it was nothin', not even the faint echo of a song Loneliness was a daily for me, until you came along There was a gleam of stars in your eyes I thought I'd never feel this way again And you were supposed to reach my heart And find love within, looove, looove Oooh...oooh Love within a storm (4x) This sweet, wonderful ghetto love This sweet, wonderful love that you give me Wonderful I could not ignore the magnetism, when I felt you near Any problems plaguin' my mind, was suddenly dissapeared It was re-birth of my heart, the day that you became my friend Cause I knew for the moment I held you, that I would fall in love again Fall in love again, in a storm Love within a storm (Continues in background throughout next verses) Just when I thought I'd seen it all Our paths crossed, amen And I knew, from the first glance That you, would be hard to forget Your eyes, attracted me first But you reeked of sultry confidence I couldn't wait, to touch lips And kiss, with my heart's intention When we didn't, was what I expected And for that moment, we erased the tension Of the awkwardness, of first date jitters And the initial blind date, first impressions We kissed again; and I felt the pa**ion And this, my love, was Cupid's blessin' We made love, within a storm In the midst of pa**ion and chaos Somewhere, somehow, our true bond of friendship was lost In the eye of the storm, the rain always falls harder Those who prevail this drama Will learn to bring their love farther But now, the storm has past And the seas of our friendship are gone But as long as I live, I will remember The love within a storm (Love within a storm is repeated after every line) Sweet, pa**ionate, love-lusting love Ya know that I miss you, and love you Ya know that 2Pac broke my heart We need to hear ya, hear ya voice They say, this ghetto fabulous On 125th street forkin' around This village, and the village uptown South Central, Compton, Philly Sha-Town, Southside It's hot in 'Lanta, hot in 'Lanta Jersey peeps, I hear ya Miami, South Beach, uh Yeeah, got love for you, love for you My Brooklyn knights lovin' you, lovin' me This open, rich city Ya know, I got love for you
