[Intro]
Ambient city sounds
Yeah, yeah
Sirens in the night
Dreams in the skyline
[Verse 1]
I was raised where the cracks in the curb spell names
Ghost tags dripped on the brick in the rain
Mama said, “Clock out, come home, be safe”
But the block kept talkin’, pulled me back to the chase
Lunchbox empty, heart full of big plans
Turned school desk maps to escape routes, quick scans
Hopped fence paint on my jeans, left seams torn
Chasin’ every shortcut out the same old storm
[Chorus]
Concrete dreams, they keep callin’ me
From the fifth-floor view to the cracked-up street
I got scars on my shoes, hope under my feet
Concrete dreams, concrete dreams
Concrete dreams, I can’t fall asleep
‘Cause they play too loud when the city creeps
Every “maybe one day” turns “maybe that’s me”
Concrete dreams, concrete dreams
