Life on the edge

Work never ends, clock hands on a marathon,

Pockets on a diet, appetite for phenomenon.

Bills stackin’ up like bricks in a back alley,

Dreams parked in the dark, but I keep the key handy.

Council estates where the youth play roulette,

Life on the edge, can't cash the safety net.

We survive the vibe, we thrive, we shine,

Under neon skies, where the stars align.

Dance through the grind, let the rhythm confide,

Struggle in the shadows, but the soul don’t hide.

Pavement’s a runway, ambitions take flight,

Sweat from the labor turns glitter under nightlife.

Fists in the air, beats slap like a sermon,

Unity in chaos, the streets keep churnin’.

Bare-knuckle dreams, hustlers in the mist,

Every sip of the night tastes like "we exist."

Tomorrow’s uncertain, but tonight’s a parade,

City’s a symphony, every note we’ve played.

We survive the vibe, we thrive, we shine,

Under neon skies, where the stars align.

Dance through the grind, let the rhythm confide,

Struggle in the shadows, but the soul don’t hide.

Moonlight’s a mirror, shows scars on the block,

But the music heals wounds, sets fire to the clock.

Gang signs fade when the DJ spins,

For a moment, we forget where the story begins.
