Concrete Jungle Dreams

[Verse] Streets breathe smoke, lungs full of regret Corner boys posted, chasing death in a bet Dreams fade quicker than the sun at dusk Hustle’s the religion, trust crumbles to dust Fiends whisper secrets, shadows on the wall Mama prayin’ nightly I don’t answer the call Gunshots harmonize with sirens in the air Concrete jungle, survival ain’t fair [Chorus] Living in the hood, where the nights don’t sleep Broken glass dreams buried six feet deep Lost too many brothers to the devil’s schemes Concrete jungle, chasing hollow dreams [Verse 2] She got a body, curves carved out of sin Love ain’t love here, just the price to win Pockets full of cash, but the soul’s on E Runnin’ from the demons only I can see Crime paints murals in the alleyways gray Police chalk lines like an artist’s display Every homie’s face a ghost in the smoke Promise on my life, I ain’t goin’ broke [Pre-Chorus] The block’s a maze, no escape, no map Heart beats heavy, ticking time-trap Tomorrow ain’t promised, today’s just a loan The hood’s a kingdom, I don’t own the throne
