[Intro]
City hums, neon sparks, pavement keeps the beat
I step out in my stride, brass-blue threads on my feet
[Verse 1]
Concrete blocks rise like towers in a dream, I walk the line
Hoodie hood up, blazer sharp, I mix the old with the new shine
Rhymes tucked in my sleeve, confidence pressed, crease clean
I flash a grin that says I own this block, know what I mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the corners, but I’m aiming higher, climbing fast
Every step a statement, every look a story cast
[Chorus]
I glow in the gray, I bloom where I’m planted
Style like a map, leading me where I want it
If you doubt the steel in my soul, I’ll show you—watch it
I’m built from the grit, and I won’t stop it
[Verse 2]
Colorful sneakers, patched denim, patches of rain on my coat
I mix street wisdom with swagger, that’s my antidote
Neighbors whisper, I hear them, I grin and keep moving on
My voice is loud enough to carry a dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Gravity tries to pull me down, I recoil with a grin
I’m the sunrise in the alley, patient, loud within
[Chorus]
I glow in the gray, I bloom where I’m planted
Style like a map, leading me where I want it
If you doubt the steel in my soul, I’ll show you—watch it
I’m built from the grit, and I won’t stop it
[Bridge]
Scarred walls tell stories, I add my chapters too
A future stamped in the seams of my jacket’s blue
[Chorus]
I glow in the gray, I bloom where I’m planted
Style like a map, leading me where I want it
If you doubt the steel in my soul, I’ll show you—watch it
I’m built from the grit, and I won’t stop it
[Outro]
City breath, I rise, I’m ready for whatever comes next
Confidence in my pocket, and respect on my steps
