Concrete Jungle Chronicles

Concrete cracks beneath my Timberland soles,

Shadows dance where the cold wind rolls.

Graffiti sermons on the brickwork scrolls,

Dreams sold cheap, ambition on parole.

City screams, the sirens sing the blues,

Streetlights flicker, they got nothin' to lose.

Life's a gamble, pick and choose,

One wrong step, payin' heavy dues.

Pigeons perched where the skyline splits,

Hustle hard, no time for counterfeit.

Life's a deck, jokers and kings don’t fit,

Survival of the slick, not the quick wit.

Rusted rails hum with subway cries,

Underground tales where truth and myth collide.

Steel hearts beat where the weak subside,

Legends born where the broken confide.

Corners hold secrets, whispers and threats,

Blood-stained paths paved with regrets.

Chain-link fences, dreams tethered in nets,

But the fire inside ain't extinguished yet.

City screams, the sirens sing the blues,

Streetlights flicker, they got nothin' to lose.

Life's a gamble, pick and choose,

One wrong step, payin' heavy dues.
