Street Reverie

Cement cracks whisper, secrets in the gravel

Steppin’ through the jungle, no map, no travel

Eyes like neon signs, blinkin’ through the smog

Heart pumps venom, pen bleeds on the log

Pockets got echoes, empty as a tomb

Chasin’ smoke trails, shadows in the gloom

The block’s a chessboard, bishops in the cut

Kings fall quick when the rook gets stuck

Street reverie, dreams in the concrete

Every crack’s a story, pain on repeat

Street reverie, echoes in the night

Chasin’ faded halos, searchin’ for the light

Stacks of green paper, crumpled like leaves

Life’s a dice game, but the house always cheats

Corner store sermons, prophets in the aisles

Preachin’ ‘bout survival, crocodile smiles

Hunger in the wind, howl of the stray

Time got no mercy, tickin’ every day

The whip’s chrome grin, teeth in the lane

Speedin’ through the chaos, dancin’ with the pain

Graffiti skies, spray cans sing

Every color bleeds, every soul brings

Brick walls hum, stories unsaid

The city don’t sleep, just dreams in its bed
