Concrete Dreams
Yeah
City lights flicker like hope in
the dark
We grind from the bottom,
aiming for stars
Yeah Woke up to sirens,
block still hot Another young soul
got caught by the clock Corner
boys hustling,
dreams in a sock Every heart
beats like a tick of the
Glock Billboards flashing what we never
had Million-dollar smiles on a broken
ad Mama working doubles,
barely catching Z's But still told
me, "Son,
go chase your dreams" These concrete
dreams, they don't sleep We sow
our pain where the asphalt weeps
Climbing up walls they said too
steep But we plant our hopes
where the city breathes These concrete
dreams, they don't sleep We sow
our pain where the asphalt weeps
Climbing up walls they said too
steep But we plant our hopes
where the city breathes
Trains screech like the hunger inside
Eyes on the skyline,
find my stride Friends turned foes,
some dreams just died But I
kept running like truth can't hide
Mic in my hand,
sweat in my soul Every verse
I spit is part of the
goal From cracked sidewalks to platinum
rows I speak for the youth
tryna fill those holes Every light's
a prayer,
every night's a test Can you
dream big when you ain't got
rest? Can you find peace in
a city that shouts?
Can you be real when the
world has doubts?
These concrete dreams,
they don't sleep We sow our
pain where the asphalt weeps Climbing
up walls they said too steep
But we plant our hopes where
the city breathes These concrete dreams,
they don't sleep We sow our
pain where the asphalt weeps Climbing
up walls they said too steep
But we plant our hopes where
the city breathes From rooftops to
gutters, we see it all Every
stumble just teaches us how to
stand tall This ain't just survival,
it's art in the grind It's
the poetry carved in every city
line
These concrete dreams,
they don't sleep We sow our
pain where the asphalt weeps Climbing
up walls they said too steep
But we plant our hopes where
the city breathes These concrete dreams,
they don't sleep We sow our
pain where the asphalt weeps Climbing
up walls they said too steep
But we plant our hopes where
the city breathes
City don't change,
but we do keep dreaming
Even when the sky's not blue
