City Dreams

[Verse] Concrete jungle, grindin' till the soles are thin, City lights blaze, but no escape from within. Money chased, dreams misplaced, pockets full of lint, Homeless man on the corner, face hard like flint. [Verse 2] Three minutes to midnight, hustlin' for coins, Rich folks in penthouses, money cling to their loins. Down in the alleys, shadows whisper of toil, Street's heartbeat—broken dreams wrapped in aluminum foil. [Chorus] City dreams, cash rules, but it's hard to see, Working hard, stayin' poor, what’s the remedy? No rooftop view, just a mattress on the floor, Keep pushin' ‘cause we know there’s gotta be more. [Verse 3] Busu and his tears, mop bucket and broom, Scrubbin' glass skyscrapers, reachin' for the moon. Behind every corner, another grind to face, Gleamin' gold Rolexes, fuel for the rat race. [Bridge] Curbside vision, skyscrapers in the mist, Got pain, got hustle, calloused fists. Three minutes, make or break, chase the greenback crest, Livin' for the future, but today we ingest. [Chorus] City dreams, cash rules, but it's hard to see, Working hard, stayin' poor, what’s the remedy? No rooftop view, just a mattress on the floor, Keep pushin' ‘cause we know there’s gotta be more.
