[Intro]
(Heavy 808 bass kicks in, dark atmospheric synth pads, sharp hi-hat triplets)
[Verse 1]
Yo, step out the ends, gotta watch where you treadin'
CCTV cameras, yeah, they know who they checkin'
Skeng tucked in the waistband, gotta stay on point
One wrong move round here, bruv, that's your joints
Opp block lurkin', shadows movin' silent
Caught lackin' once? Nah, that's pure violence
Talkin' big on the net, but where you at?
We spin that corner, leave it lookin' flat
These streets ain't playgrounds, it's chess, not checkers
Move reckless, get boxed, send condolences letters
Money chase got the pressure cooker whistlin'
Trust is thinner than paper, man, listen
See the flicker? That's a torch on the ride
Better scatter, disappear, find somewhere to hide
Drill b**t knockin', yeah, the concrete vibratin'
This ain't no fairy tale, it's survival, no fakin'
[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, where the weak get ate (Grrah!)
Hard b**t poundin', sealin' your fate (Skrr!)
Driller talk, yeah, we speakin' in code (Facts!)
Watch your step, watch your back on this road (Road!)
Concrete jungle, ain't no place to hide (Hide!)
Gotta move sharp with the pride on the side (Side!)
B**t so heavy, make the pavement crack (Crack!)
In this life, man, there's no turnin' back (Back!)
[Verse 2]
Pots gettin' stirred, yeah, the tension's risin'
Olders doin' bird, youngers strategisin'
Two-tone creepin', sirens cut the night air
Gotta ditch the tool quick, vanish, disappear
No names mentioned, just initials and faces
Different postcodes, different warring bases
Respect ain't given, it's earned with the blade
Or the sound of the drum when the opps get sprayed
Livin' day by day, paranoid glances
Missed calls from unknown numbers, takin' chances?
This ain't no movie scene, this the realest script
Where loyalty's tested, and friendships get clipped
Drill sound's the anthem, the bass is the drum
For every fallen soldier, another one come
Gotta stack the P's, gotta climb up the ladder
But every rung you grab, the view just gets sadder.
[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, where the weak get ate (Grrah!)
Hard b**t poundin', sealin' your fate (Skrr!)
Driller talk, yeah, we speakin' in code (Facts!)
Watch your step, watch your back on this road (Road!)
Concrete jungle, ain't no place to hide (Hide!)
Gotta move sharp with the pride on the side (Side!)
B**t so heavy, make the pavement crack (Crack!)
In this life, man, there's no turnin' back (Back!)
[Bridge]
(B**t simplifies slightly, heavy bass remains, eerie piano melody emerges)
Seen it all unfold, the cycle keeps spinnin'
New faces in the frame, same pain they're beginnin'
Mum's tears dryin' slow on the window pane
Prayin' her son comes back home safe again
But the call of the streets, it's a siren song loud
For the lost boys searchin' lost in the crowd
Trapped in the matrix, the code is the drill
The b**t is the heartbeat, against your own will.
[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, where the weak get ate (Grrah!)
Hard b**t poundin', sealin' your fate (Skrr!)
Driller talk, yeah, we speakin' in code (Facts!)
Watch your step, watch your back on this road (Road!)
Concrete jungle, ain't no place to hide (Hide!)
Gotta move sharp with the pride on the side (Side!)
B**t so heavy, make the pavement crack (Crack!)
In this life, man, there's no turnin' back (Back!)
[Outro]
(B**t fades slowly, heavy 808s linger, hi-hats become sparse, synth pads drone ominously before cutting abruptly)
