[Verse]
City breath smokin', concrete chokin'
Dreams gettin' folded, pockets stay broken
Streetlights flicker, whispers in the night
Hustlers play chess, pawns caught in the fight
Cold hands clutchin' on a paper chase
Every corner got a story, every face got a case
Steps echo louder than a subway scream
Reality sharper than a cracked glass gleam
[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, where the wild ones roam
Stackin' bricks for a kingdom, still no throne
Concrete jungle, no love, just loans
Echoes in the alley, but I'm all alone
[Verse 2]
Graffiti hieroglyphs on a subway door
Legends spray paint their names, claimin' folklore
Pigeons and rats in a turf war clash
Fast life livin', but the seconds don't last
Broken bottles sparkle like shattered dreams
Sidewalk sermons, prophets plot schemes
Wheels spin on the block, 24/7
Prayin' for a blessing, dodgin' 24 weapons
[Bridge]
Smoke rise higher than the rooftop views
Choices gettin' slimmer, options we choose
Shadows dance crazy when the sirens wail
Every heart got a secret, every soul got a tale
