[Verse]
Steel toes stompin’, streets full of thunder
Windy city shadows, pullin’ you under
Echoes of the blocks, talk in code, no blunder
Watch the skyline bleed when the night go asunder
[Chorus]
Heavy bass rumble, heartbeats align
Every step a gamble, walk the fine line
Cold winds cut deep, scars they define
Out here survival’s the anthem, a life so confined
[Verse 2]
Corner store plots, chess games on the ave
Moves calculated, life’s a gift you can’t halve
Cops circle slow, blue sirens like the rave
But these concrete jungles breed kings out the brave
[Bridge]
City lights flicker, dreams turn to smoke
Hope’s a tightrope, balance or choke
In the belly of the beast, tales never spoke
You either rise with the fire or fade in the cloak
[Verse 3]
Hustlers and poets, both bleed the same ink
One on the paper, the other in the brink
Chains swing heavy, wrists still clink
But freedom’s in the mind, not the links you think
[Chorus]
Heavy bass rumble, heartbeats align
Every step a gamble, walk the fine line
Cold winds cut deep, scars they define
Out here survival’s the anthem, a life so confined
