Shadows

In the concrete jungle where the shadows creep, Dreams get buried but the hustle runs deep, Lost souls roam, but the vision won’t sleep, Grit on my tongue, got the world in my sweep. Dodgin’ the sirens, hear 'em wail in the night, Life’s a gamble, roll the dice, take flight, Cash rules everything, keep the grind in sight, Stars in the sky but we fight for the light. Whispers of the streets, secrets spill from the block, Every corner’s a tale, every face is a clock, Time ticks slow when you’re trapped in the flock, But I’m building my throne, let 'em laugh, let 'em mock. Came from the bottom, now I’m king of the grind, Ink in my veins, every line is a sign, Lessons from the struggle, wisdom hard to find, But I’m spitting truth, watch the world realign.
