[Verse]
Concrete jungle, shadows creep, no release,
Corner store symphonies, beauty and the beast,
Hustle's a religion, faith in the feast,
Chains heavy, but the hunger never ceased.
[Chorus]
Streetlights flicker, dreams underneath,
Recognition carved in stone, no relief,
Graffiti on my heart, scars run deep,
Every day a battle, no time for sleep.
[Verse 2]
Pavement whispers secrets, alleyways breathe,
Fate deals the cards, pockets full of grief,
Beast in my chest, beauty in belief,
Knuckles cracked prayers, struggle's my motif.
[Bridge]
Broken bottles tell tales of a lost time,
Mirrors show a beast in the grime,
Beauty ain't soft, she's tough, sublime,
Surviving the jungle, my only crime.
[Verse 3]
Eyes on the throne, crown made of stone,
Street signs guide me, this block's my home,
Beast in the shadows, beauty in the tone,
Carving out my name, brick and bone.
[Chorus]
Streetlights flicker, dreams underneath,
Recognition carved in stone, no relief,
Graffiti on my heart, scars run deep,
Every day a battle, no time for sleep.
