Struggle in the 90s

[Verse] Concrete jungle where dreams often crumble, Kids in the struggle, living in the hustle, Graffiti on the walls, stories in the rubble, Barefoot soldiers, life a constant juggle. [Verse 2] Outrun the sirens, hopes tied to mics, Streetlights flicker, shadows dodgin' strikes, Lunchbox empty, bellies feeling trife, Decks on the corner, dreams cut with a knife. [Chorus] We don’t back down, even when the sun fades, Growing up fast, in these concrete arcades, Unified voices, over beats cascades, Dreamin' of a break, from these heavy shades. [Verse 3] Dodging stray bullets, life’s daily routine, Scrappin' for dreams in this grinding machine, Old heads tellin' stories, life ain't so keen, Neighborhood warriors, survival, the theme. [Bridge] Cans of hope in those playground swings, Future echoes, hear the freedom ring, Beneath the streetlights, hear the heartbeats sing, Not just surviving, we thrive, do our thing. [Chorus] We don’t back down, even when the sun fades, Growing up fast, in these concrete arcades, Unified voices, over beats cascades, Dreamin' of a break, from these heavy shades.
