[Verse]
Yo, sun up to sun down, son
Back breakin', no cake, just crumbs
Missed calls from the wife and the young'uns
But the bills stack high, need funds
[Prechorus]
Gotta eat, right?
Even when the stomach growlin' all night
[Chorus]
Concrete life, it ain't pretty
Sweat equity, bleedin' in the city
Concrete life, no time for feeling
Just keep on building, keep on dealing
[Verse 2]
Calloused hands, blistered and sore
Another brick laid, another floor
Boss man screamin', wantin' more
Barely makin' it, scratchin' at the door
[Bridge]
Is this all there is?
Just struggle and persist?
Gotta find a way, gotta resist
Before I fade, cease to exist
[Chorus]
Concrete life, it ain't pretty
Sweat equity, bleedin' in the city
Concrete life, no time for feeling
Just keep on building, keep on dealing
