[Verse]
Steppin' through the block where the shadows roam,
Pavement whispers secrets, concrete my throne.
Got a pen that spits venom, a mic that moans,
Heart cold, like the ice sittin' deep in my bones.
[Chorus]
Streetlights hummin’, singin' my blues,
Every crack in the road got a story to use.
Dreams stitched together with stitches and screws,
But I'm climbin' this ladder in these scuffed-up shoes.
[Verse 2]
Crumpled dollar bills, dreams in the ashtray,
Life’s a crooked cop, takin' bribes on a bad day.
Soul heavy like the rain that the clouds spray,
Still I’m on the grind, prayin' for a pathway.
[Bridge]
Echoes of the sirens, lullabies of the night,
Skyscrapers leanin’, tryna block out the light.
Chasin' faded glory in a world that bites,
But the hustle never sleeps, even when it ain't right.
[Verse 3]
Found gold in the dirt where the roses don't bloom,
Turned pain into verses, let the speakers consume.
On a path where the vultures circle, smellin' my doom,
But I’m runnin’ through the fire, got no time to assume.
[Chorus]
Streetlights hummin’, singin' my blues,
Every crack in the road got a story to use.
Dreams stitched together with stitches and screws,
But I'm climbin' this ladder in these scuffed-up shoes.
