[Verse]
Born in the shadows, midnight hustle
Bricks and mortar, it's the real life puzzle
Dreams big but the streets keep schemin'
From Stratford to Croydon, we all be dreamin'
[Chorus]
Rise up, beyond the block
Shattered glass ceilings, we won't stop
From the alleyways to the top
Making our way, whether they like it or not
[Verse 2]
Thames fog rollin', the night's cloak tight
Brothers on the grind, trying to get it right
Council estates, where hope feels distant
But hearts beat strong, the struggle persistent
[Chorus]
Rise up, beyond the block
Shattered glass ceilings, we won't stop
From the alleyways to the top
Making our way, whether they like it or not
[Verse 3]
Bruised knuckles, futures held in clenched fists
Writing our fate, can't rely on no wish lists
Kings Cross to Brixton, stories interweave
Pain and triumph, wear it on our sleeve
[Bridge]
Fog of the street, light’s dawn on our dreams
Move fast, chase past haunting screams
Through the struggle, heart and soul be drivin'
Stay motivated, keep the fire survivin’
