Cover art for A Daisy Through Concrete lyrics by Eels

The whole idea of the flower through concrete is not a new one. Even Tupac didn't come up with that one.

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one, it's never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming It's growing in the street right up through the concrete But soft and sweet and dreamin'

From the song "Spanish Harlem" whose earliest date I could find was 1961.
