Concrete Rose Intro

Ashanti

(If you're just tuning in)
(We're in the studio tonight with Ms. Ashanti)
(How you feeling?)

Feeling great, I'm excited

(And you look good)
(So, to your fans all over the world, your third album)
(What should they get from this?)

Um, I really want people to feel me on this one
This is definitely my best album, you know
I'm just really excited about it
The lyrics are just a little bit deeper
Hooked back up with 7 Aurelius, so it's a beautiful thing

(Yeah, the album's crazy)
(So explain to everyone the title, "Concrete Rose")

Concrete Rose because, like, when you think of hip-hop
You know, you think of something grimy, grungy, kind of gritty, concrete
When you think of R&B, you think of something soft, sensual, you know
Kind of like a rose, so
My music is considered hip-hop and R&B
So hence, "Concrete Rose"
