(Verse 1) Back in thee pin, where the shadows creep, Concrete jungle, where the lost souls weep, Survivin' every day, dodgin' fate's cruel grip, Had to hustle hard, never let the dream slip. I remember nights cold, wrapped in the struggle, Streets whisper secrets, got me caught in the shuffle, Life’s a gamble, roll the dice, take a chance, In the heart of the city, it's the fight or the dance. (Verse 2) Caught in the system, but I’m breakin’ the mold, Stories of the streets, yeah, they’re worth more than gold, From the corner to the block, hear the echoes of pain, But I rise like the sun, through the struggle and rain. Lessons learned hard, but I’m still standin’ tall, With my back to the wall, I refuse to fall, Dreams of better days, keep my spirit alive, In this concrete jungle, only the strong survive.
