Concrete Jungle Tales

Concrete stompin’, shadows where the lights fail

Dreams get auctioned, souls up for a quick sale

Steel hearts, the block’s cold, frostbite tales

Where the weak get shelved, survival prevails

Rats runnin’ mazes, cheese the motivation

Bars like cages, parole’s a vacation

Blood on the pavement, paint the foundation

Stories in the cracks, pain’s illustration

Concrete jungle, where the wolves don’t slumber

Dreams get shredded, turned to ash, lost under

Count the scars, each one’s a number

Concrete jungle, streets pull you under

Hood dreams torn, stitched with duct tape

Plot escapes, life’s a crooked landscape

Hunger sharp as razors, slice through the red tape

Gamble with your life, dice roll, no escape

Streetlights flicker, ghosts haunt the corners

Smoke signals rise, burnin’ up the mourners

Pocket full of change, still broke like the borders

Chains weigh heavy, freedom's what they order

Echoes in the alleys, whispers of the past

Shadows got shadows, nothin’ ever lasts

Hustle for the moment, the future’s outcast

Grind ‘til the clock stops, tickin’ way too fast
