Verse 1:
Wake up to the sirens, another night gone wrong
Mama crying in the kitchen, whispering a tired song
Brothers lost to the system, bullets write their names
In a world full of liars, only real ones play the game
Corner boys hustlin’, dreams sold for a dime
Cops watching, waiting, tryna catch us one time
I keep my eyes open, heart heavy, mind sharp
Every day’s a battle, every block leaves a mark
Chorus:
Concrete blood, we bleed for the streets
Life don’t forgive, every loss, every beat
Hold your head up, even when the world’s cold
Stay true to yourself, never sell your soul
Verse 2:
Fake friends smile, while they plot in the back
Trust is a luxury, loyalty’s what we lack
I’ve seen tears turn to rage, hope turn to pain
I spit my life in verses, every line in the vein
Mama working late, daddy gone too soon
Kids growing up fast, singing a broken tune
The city don’t love you, it’ll chew you alive
But I rise through the struggle, gotta keep the dream alive
Chorus:
Concrete blood, we bleed for the streets
Life don’t forgive, every loss, every beat
Hold your head up, even when the world’s cold
Stay true to yourself, never sell your soul
Bridge:
Every night’s a warzone, every day’s a fight
Gotta hustle, gotta grind, keep your vision in sight
They can knock us down, but we’ll stand back tall
From the ashes of the struggle, we’ll rise through it all
Chorus:
Concrete blood, we bleed for the streets
Life don’t forgive, every loss, every beat
Hold your head up, even when the world’s cold
Stay true to yourself, never sell your soul
