Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah
This one goes out to all the lost loved ones
That's right (no, no, no)
Throw your hands in the air
Throw your hands in the air (no)
C'mon, c'mon uh, c'mon, yeah

We were like soldiers, shoulder to shoulder (uh-huh, yeah)
Back to back against the wall (oh, yeah)
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

Flash, I'm gone away
Always thought that you'd be here to stay
See you on the other side, we will ride again (yeah)

We would ride like the wind
On the stairways of sin
I can't believe how the road would turn (I miss you)
Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
You're a rose in a concrete world

No, no no, oh no (stop that)
No, no, no no, no no, no, no (relax, we're hurting ourselves)

Ghetto to ghetto, stiletto to metal (uh, yeah)
Trying to survive on a day-to-day
Living 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

Flash, I'm gone away (gone away)
Always thought that you'd be here to stay (oh, yeah)
See you on the other side, we will ride again (we will ride, c'mon)

We would ride like the wind (ride like the wind)
On the stairways of sin (oh)
I can't believe how the road would turn (I miss you)
Now that you're gone, how can I go on? (Oh no)
You're a rose in a concrete world (oh no)

We would ride like the wind (ride like the wind)
On the stairways of sin (oh no)
I can't believe how the road would turn (I miss you)
Now that you're gone, how can I go on? (Now that you're gone)
You're a rose in a concrete world

(Break it down, uh) oh, no no, oh, no no
Oh, no no, oh no no (yeah, c'mon)
Oh, no no, no, no, no, no, no (uh, yeah)
No (uh, uh, uh, yeah)
Oh, no no, no, no, no, no, no (I miss you)

Flash, I'm gone away
Always thought that you'd be here to stay (uh)
See you on the other side, we will ride again (c'mon, yeah)

We would ride like the wind (ride like the wind)
On the stairways of sin (oh no)
I can't believe how the road would turn (I miss you)
(I can't believe it, no)
Now that you're gone, how can I go on? (Now that you're gone, oh no)
You're a rose in a concrete world (oh, ohh, oh

We would ride like the wind (ride like the wind)
On the stairways of sin (oh no)
I can't believe how the road would turn (I miss you)
(Can't believe, can't believe, no)
Now that you're gone, how can I go on? (Now that you're gone, oh no)
You're a rose in a concrete world

Oh, no no, oh, no no
Oh, no no, oh no no (c'mon, yeah, c'mon)
Oh, no no, no, no, no, no, no (uh, yeah)
No (uh, uh, uh, yeah)
Oh, no no, no, no, no, no (here we go, bring it)

Life is too sweet
To just let it all slip away
I'm here to make a difference in my life
So what about you? C'mon let's ride, uh, yeah
'Round and 'round
Around and 'round, uh
