From a reader’s point of view, it is obvious to say that the poem is an autobiography describing the author’s life. Tupac Shakur was a man who grew up in the Bronx, New York who eventually became a famous rapper that everyone came to love.

He uses symbolism and disguises himself as the rose that grew from the concrete which was the ghetto. He uses the words “proving nature’s law is wrong it”.
