Echoes in the Alley

Pavement sermons, sneakers preach to the street,

Broken glass symphony under my feet,

Graffiti hieroglyphs, tales on the wall,

Urban jungle hummin', hear the city call.

Echoes in the alley, rhythm so raw,

Heartbeats poundin', break every law,

Concrete jungle where the shadows crawl,

We rise from the cracks, stand tall through it all.

Streetlights flicker, halos for the lost,

Dreams get pawned, every move got a cost,

Steel birds screechin', melodies of pain,

Umbrella dreams in the coldest rain.

Echoes in the alley, rhythm so raw,

Heartbeats poundin', break every law,

Concrete jungle where the shadows crawl,

We rise from the cracks, stand tall through it all.

Subway symphonies, rats runnin' schemes,

Pockets full of nothin', pockets full of dreams,

Night shift warriors, grind don’t sleep,

City never slumbers, secrets run deep.

Horns in the distance, drums on the block,

Every tick of the clock, we hustle non-stop,

Soul of the city in every crack and groove,

Feel the rhythm of life, the way we move.
