Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Morning sun on the zinc roof
Wake up to the kettle and the siren
Old man preaching by the bus stop
Say, “Youth, keep your mind iron”
Plastic bag blowing like a lost kite
Corner shop credit, man, we both tight
Laughing through the holes in my sneakers
Still walking with a different kind of gold, right
[Chorus]
Concrete clouds in a blue sky town
Weighing on my head but they can’t push me down
I carry my hope like a beat in my chest
Step by step, yeah, I move blessed
Concrete clouds, still I ride this wave
From the block to the bay, to the old mass grave
We been through the fire, still we stand so proud
Sunshine mind under concrete clouds (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Little bro drawing worlds in the dust
Mama say, “School, ‘fore the streets take your trust”
Posters on the pole say “vote, don’t fuss”
But the same potholes still cussin’ all of us
Elders on the wall share war stories
Rum in the cup and a whole heap of worries
I’m scribbling plans in the back of a notebook
Turn scars to a verse, turn pain to a new hook
[Chorus]
Concrete clouds in a blue sky town
Weighing on my head but they can’t push me down
I carry my hope like a beat in my chest
Step by step, yeah, I move blessed
Concrete clouds, still I ride this wave
From the block to the bay, to the old mass grave
We been through the fire, still we stand so proud
Sunshine mind under concrete clouds (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Tell me, who gon’ heal these lanes?
Paint over names on the wall, still the hurt remains
So I talk to the youth like a mirror
Say, “You’re more than the smoke and the sirens you hear, yeah”
[Beat drops to bass and vocal]
If the system cold, let your heart stay warm
If the night feel long, you the quiet dawn
[Chorus]
Concrete clouds in a blue sky town
Weighing on my head but they can’t push me down
I carry my hope like a beat in my chest
Step by step, yeah, I move blessed
Concrete clouds, still I ride this wave
From the block to the bay, we gon’ misbehave (live)
By staying alive, staying loud in the crowd
Sunshine mind under concrete clouds (yeah, yeah)
