[Verse]
They chalk outlines on a block they can't claim,
Blood stains mixing with yesterday’s rain.
Fighting for corners, a war with no name,
Empty victories, just pawns in the game.
Cracked pavement whispers tales of regret,
Promises broken, dreams they forget.
[Prechorus]
Chains on their neck, but the weight’s in the soul,
Running in circles, chasing a goal.
[Chorus]
Concrete dreams, crumbling at the seams,
Fighting for nothing, or so it seems.
Concrete dreams, trapped in a machine,
When will they see it’s all just a scheme?
[Verse 2]
Shedding tears for the homie they lost,
Pour a little out, but who counts the cost?
Block's a jungle, predators and prey,
Lives get traded for the dirt they lay.
Gunshots echo, a symphony of pain,
Same story told, over and again.
[Bridge]
Brick by brick, they stack the despair,
Breathing the struggle, it's heavy in the air.
But who owns the block, who writes the deed?
They spill their blood, but never plant the seed.
[Chorus]
Concrete dreams, crumbling at the seams,
Fighting for nothing, or so it seems.
Concrete dreams, trapped in a machine,
When will they see it’s all just a scheme?
