Concrete jungle raised me rugged, taught me how to survive, Every corner had a lesson, every block kept me alive. Grew up fast where slow ones fall and weak ones get erased, Learned to read a room in seconds, learned to keep a straight face. Verse 2 Blood on pavement, sirens screamin', that's the soundtrack of my youth, Learned the difference 'tween the lie and learned to spot the truth. Every handshake came with caution, every smile could be a mask, Trust ain't given in the trenches, trust gotta be earned and asked. Verse 3 Empty fridge but full ambition, hunger pushed me past the pain, Watched my niggas turn to statistics, watched the struggle drive me sane. Every night I couldn't sleep, I turned the silence into fuel, Turned the block into a classroom, turned the pain into a tool. Verse 4 Steel under my pillow, prayers whispered under breath, Every day out here's a gamble, every step could lead to death. But I move like I'm immortal, move like failure ain't a chance, 'Cause the ones who hesitate get left behind in circumstance. Verse 5 Watched my mentors turn to memories, watched the coffins hit the ground, Every funeral made me colder, made my heart beat with no sound. But I promised on their names I'd take the pain and make it art, Every bar I spit is bleedin' straight up from a broken heart. Verse 6 Scars tell stories deeper than the bullets that they came from, Every one a testament to battles I ain't run from. Grew up in the fire, so the smoke don't make me choke, Every obstacle they threw was just a setup for the joke. Verse 7 Now I stand here different, but the grit still in my bones, Never forget the trenches, never forget the ones alone. This for every soldier fightin' battles no one sees, Gritty street philosophy — survival in the breeze.
