[Verse]
Streets I once roamed, now they shimmer in chrome
Corner store gone, turned boutique, overpriced cologne
Graffiti swapped for murals, the colors loud
Still smell the asphalt, rain-soaked, same old clouds
[Prechorus]
I’m chasing ghosts on a neon road
Echoes of youth, where’d they go?
[Chorus]
Hometown glow-up, but it’s still the same
The faces fade, but the vibe remains
Drugs hit harder, beats drop low
Back where I started, hometown glow
[Verse 2]
Playground swings now swingin’ deals
The slide’s gone digital, but the grind still feels
DJ spins where the jukebox froze
Bassline thumping where the silence grows
[Prechorus]
The past and present, a tangled thread
I’m still that kid, but the town’s ahead
[Chorus]
Hometown glow-up, but it’s still the same
The faces fade, but the vibe remains
Drugs hit harder, beats drop low
Back where I started, hometown glow
