[Intro]
*(Energetic beats drop with a pulsating bassline, layered with city soundscapesāhonking cars, distant chatter, and subway rhythms.)*
[Verse 1]
Yo, I came from the blocks where the grind never sleeps,
Concrete jungle, every crack holds a story deep.
Hustlers on the corner, dreamers in the suite,
I scribble rhymes on receipts, turn pain into beats.
They said, "Play it safe, stay inside the lines,"
But I built my path where the streetlights shine.
Broke the mold, let my scars be my design,
Now Iām stacking wins, every stepās a new sign.
Wordplay sharp like a blade on the train tracks,
Metaphors blaze, leave āem stuck in my fax.
Iām the steel in the rust, the spark in the ash,
Spinning wheels of fortuneācash, clash, and dash.
[Chorus]
Rise through the concrete, let the struggle define,
Every scarās a medal, every grindās a sign.
City lights guide me, Iāma chase whatās mine,
Flames in my soul, yeah, the fireās divine!
[Verse 2]
Neon nights, sirens wail in the fog,
Dodged the traps, turned my tears into logs.
They tried to box me in, but I broke the lock,
Now Iām painting skies where the stars never stop.
Punchlines hit like a knockout in round three,
Dreamerās anthem, got the crowd screaming, "Free!"
From the basement to rooftops, Iām airborne,
Truth in my veins, no cap, keep it sworn.
King of my castle, no throne, just the grit,
Turned the doubt into diesel, the hate into hits.
Diamonds from the pressure, no stress, just blessed,
Cityās my chessboardāIām checkinā the next.
[Chorus]
Rise through the concrete, let the struggle define,
Every scarās a medal, every grindās a sign.
City lights guide me, Iāma chase whatās mine,
Flames in my soul, yeah, the fireās divine!
[Bridge]
Aim for the clouds, but my roots stay grounded,
No shortcuts taken, legacyās compounded.
They ask how I did itājust stayed in my lane,
Kept the vision clear through the b***d, sweat, and rain.
Yeah, the roadās rocky, but the climbās so sweet,
Heart of a lion, rhythm in my feet.
[Chorus]
Rise through the concrete, let the struggle define,
Every scarās a medal, every grindās a sign.
City lights guide me, Iāma chase whatās mine,
Flames in my soul, yeah, the fireās divine!
[Outro]
*(Beats fade into echoing subway echoes and distant applause, leaving a lingering bass hum.)*
