Streetlight Symphony

Runnin' through the night, shadows hug the block tight,

Dreams in my pocket, but the streets want a fistfight,

Echoes of the sirens, rhythm of a cold life,

Hunger in the stomach sharper than a switch knife.

Streetlight symphony, playin' for the lost souls,

Concrete jungle got us climbin' outta potholes,

Voices in the alley hummin' broken gospel,

Survivin' every day, that's the only colossal.

Sneakers on the wire like ghosts caught in limbo,

Graffiti tellin' stories, hieroglyphs on the window,

Currency of struggle, we trade in the scars,

Dreamin' of a skyline beyond these bars.

Heartbeats syncopated, drums in the chest,

Life’s a dirty canvas, we paint it our best,

Hope’s a flicker, just a match in the breeze,

But I’mma spark a blaze, bring the city to its knees.

Words cut deeper than the glass in the gutter,

Tongue sharper than the edge of a boxcutter,

This my sermon, my hymn for the night,

Preachin’ to the moon under flickerin’ light.

Streetlight symphony, playin' for the lost souls,

Concrete jungle got us climbin' outta potholes,

Voices in the alley hummin' broken gospel,

Survivin' every day, that's the only colossal.
