City Lights and Neon Dreams

[Intro] [Verse 1] Midnight train, echoes in the station, Dreams packed tight, no hesitation. Concrete veins, these streets don’t sleep, I’m grinding hard where the shadows meet. Subway rhymes, my heartbeat’s the bass, Skyscraper highs, but I keep my pace. Racing clocks, chasing that glow, City whispers, "You’ve got further to go." [Pre-Chorus] Every step, every fall, I rise again, Palms calloused, but I’m chasing the win. Neon signs spell out my name tonight, This city’s tough, but I’m built for the f***t. [Chorus] City lights, neon dreams, We’re all stars in a broken machine. Scream my truth where the sirens cry, This fire won’t fade till I touch the sky. B***d, sweat, tears in the pavement’s rhyme, I’ll shine brighter when it’s my time. [Verse 2] Two jobs, one hope, bank account low, Sleepless nights, but the vision won’t go. Rap verses scribbled on coffee-stained sheets, Every “no” just makes my grind complete. Friends turned ghosts, said I’d lose my way, But I’m dancing storms in the pourin’ rain. Ambition’s my compass, the map’s in my veins, I’ll break these chains, rewrite the game. [Pre-Chorus] Every scar, every tear, I wear ’em proud, Head high in the chaos, screaming loud. The grind’s my anthem, the struggle’s my creed, This city’s my stage, and I’m all it needs. [Chorus] City lights, neon dreams, We’re all stars in a broken machine. Scream my truth where the sirens cry, This fire won’t fade till I touch the sky. B***d, sweat, tears in the pavement’s rhyme, I’ll shine brighter when it’s my time. [Bridge] (Yeah) I’ve been low, felt the weight of the doubt, But the dream’s alive, can’t put that fire out. Hands to the heavens, concrete below, The city’s heartbeat says, "Now let it show." [Chorus] City lights, neon dreams, We’re all stars in a broken machine. Scream my truth where the sirens cry, This fire won’t fade till I touch the sky. B***d, sweat, tears in the pavement’s rhyme, I’ll shine brighter when it’s my time. [Outro]
