Street Echoes

[Verse]
Cracks in the pavement, whispers from the sewer
Dreams caught in barbed wire, truth ain't purer
City lights flicker, a Morse code stutter
Words cut sharp, like a blade through butter
Sweat drips, ticking clocks in the backdrop
Shadows play tag, while the streetlights pop
Corners hold secrets, bricks built on lies
Echoes of the past in the cold night skies
[Chorus]
Boom bap heartbeat, the rhythm of the block
Tick-tock, time don't stop, it just knocks
Soul of the struggle in every chipped rock
Street echoes scream while the bassline talks
[Verse 2]
Graffiti hieroglyphs, prophets with a spray can
Cardboard stages, breakbeats for the layman
Rats in the alleys, a ballet of survival
Every rhyme spit, a street poet's revival
Concrete jungles hum, symphonies of chaos
Rusty fire escapes climb dreams they weigh us
Fingers trace scars, the map of the hustle
Steel nerves clash in this urban scuffle
[Bridge]
Boom bap hymns, sermons in the static
Static on the wire, the streets go erratic
History’s a loop, spinnin' on the platter
Every groove etched deep, where memories scatter

gritty, minimal drums with dusty vinyl samples and layered vocal textures, rap, boom bap
