[Verse]
Grind so heavy, pockets stay featherweight
Boss man clocking, dreams on layaway
Streetlights flicker, crew in the shadow play
Nine to five a cage, but we’re breaking out today
Late night buses, moon got a jealous glow
Council flats whisper stories they’ll never show
Wolves in the alleys, sharp teeth in the flow
Still we rise, champagne on a shoestring though
[Chorus]
Late nights, bright lights, whole city on fire
From the broke to the bold, we climbing higher
Living for the weekend, never expire
Dance through the struggle, we the live wire
[Verse 2]
Pavement’s a runway, trainers hit the beat
Block’s alive, the vibe spills onto the street
From grime to disco, the mix too sweet
Bassline shakes windows, hearts feel complete
Council estate kingpins, the gang signs flash
But we dodge that drama, leave it in the past
Living paycheck to paycheck, dreams still amassed
Future’s a storm, but tonight’s a blast
[Bridge]
Confetti skies, midnight cries, hands to the ceiling
Through the sweat and the smoke, rawest feeling
City’s a jukebox, every block revealing
A rhythm, a pulse, our souls it’s healing
