[Intro]
Yeah…
Came from the bottom of the map…
Now they wanna know how we got here…
[Hook]
Concrete dreams and a heart full of scars,
Looking at the sky from behind iron bars.
Made a promise to myself I was gonna go far,
Now I’m riding through the city like I own every star.
Concrete dreams, yeah, I paid my dues,
Had to fight every day with everything to lose.
Now they see me winning, got ’em singing my tunes,
But they never saw the nights I was walking in those shoes.
[Verse 1]
Mama worked doubles, trying to keep the lights on,
I was out chasing dollars till the middle of dawn.
Had a head full of dreams and a pocket full of hope,
Learning real quick how to struggle and cope.
Saw friends come and go, some got lost in the game,
Some got caught up chasing money, power, and fame.
I was focused on a future that nobody could see,
Betting on myself when nobody believed.
[Hook]
Concrete dreams and a heart full of scars,
Looking at the sky from behind iron bars.
Made a promise to myself I was gonna go far,
Now I’m riding through the city like I own every star.
[Verse 2]
Every setback built a little more drive,
Every closed door made me fight to survive.
Now the chain shines bright but the hustle shines more,
Cause I remember sleeping on a cold hardwood floor.
Got family depending on the moves that I make,
So I stay ten toes down, never folding, never break.
From the cracks in the sidewalk to a seat at the table,
Turned impossible dreams into reality, stable.
[Bridge]
They see the win, they don’t see the grind,
The sleepless nights, all the storms I survived.
Every scar got a story, every loss got a lesson,
Every prayer I sent up turned into a blessing.
[Final Hook]
Concrete dreams and a heart full of scars,
Looking at the sky from behind iron bars.
Made a promise to myself I was gonna go far,
Now I’m riding through the city like I own every star.
Concrete dreams, that’s the name of the game,
Never switched up, never changed who I became.
If you’re coming from the bottom, put your hands in the air,
For the fighters, survivors, and the ones still there.
