[Verse]
Boots hit the gravel, mind like a jackhammer
Hands calloused, dreams chipped like bad grammar
Slabs of sweat, stacking bricks of regret
Pouring my soul where the sun barely sets
Trowel in my fist, the grind don't sleep
Life is hard, that's why we do concrete
Shadows my only crew, ghosts in the mist
I stamp my name on this world, it exists
[Chorus]
Life is hard, that's why we do concrete
Stone cold struggle, imprint on these streets
Keep on keepin' on, grind don’t retreat
Our legacy's written in that wet gray sheet
[Verse 2]
Rebar veins in the dirt, I’m the architect
Blueprints of pain, every scar connects
Foundation thick, but the cracks run deep
Pouring hope in the mold while the silence speaks
Alone in the morning, the mixer hums
Cement symphonies, no brass or drums
Steel-toed sermons, preaching to no choir
Each slab a story, carved from the fire
[Chorus]
Life is hard, that's why we do concrete
Stone cold struggle, imprint on these streets
Keep on keepin' on, grind don’t retreat
Our legacy's written in that wet gray sheet
