[Verse]
Concrete jungle, teeth bite cold steel
Buffalo winters, frostbite feels real
Potholes in the soul, streets got no seal
Dreams get cracked, every corner's a deal
Snow falls heavy, the block stay grim
Hustle for a nickel, but the odds stay slim
Violin cry, sound of a life dim
Blood on the strings, hear the pain within
[Chorus]
Buffalo streets, no love, no peace
Hunger in the belly, the wolves won’t cease
Violins scream, life’s a masterpiece
But the brushstroke’s red, painted on grief
[Verse 2]
Handshakes cold, trust cuts like razors
Every face a mask, every smile a faker
Violin wails, the block’s narrator
Echoes in the alleys, chasing paper’s my savior
Dark nights stretch long, streetlights flicker
Life moves fast, but the end comes quicker
Snow turn to slush, hope gets thicker
Buffalo grind, every day’s a bitter picture
[Bridge]
Violin strings snap, tension’s too high
Broken bows play, under leaden skies
Buffalo's heartbeat, the city don’t lie
Hard life anthem, till the day we die
