City of Rico

[Intro] City lights blink like questions in the rain Footsteps echo, Rico writes his own name in chrome [Verse 1] Walking the avenues where strangers wear masks of gold Rico listens to the neon hum, a story waiting to be told He pockets doubt like spare change, spends it on a dream Determination sparks in his eyes, a distant, stubborn gleam [Pre-Chorus] Every corner whispers: who are you when no one is watching? He answers with steady breath, with every step he’s plotting [Chorus] Rico, keep moving through the night Feet on the dawn, hearts alight If the road is long, you won’t lose sight Your name is yours to write [Verse 2] He pauses at a café window, reflects on who he could be A silhouette in the glass, a promise he’s trying to free [Français – introspection in first-person perspective] Je me demande encore: qui suis-je vraiment? Garde mes rêves vivants, même quand tout s’éteint [Pre-Chorus] The city breathes in rhythms only the brave can hear He pockets fear, stores courage, clears his mind of doubt so near [Chorus] Rico, keep moving through the night Feet on the dawn, hearts alight If the road is long, you won’t lose sight Your name is yours to write [Bridge] Ambition hums like a subway train beneath his ribs He speaks to the mirror, faces the future with his grins [Verse 3] A decision waits at a corner, a crossroads painted in rain He chooses the harder map, the path that tests his grain [Français – introspection continues] Je choisis la route qui forge l’âme, sans regret Ceux qui doutent peuvent partir, moi je reste net [Chorus] Rico, keep moving through the night Feet on the dawn, hearts alight If the road is long, you won’t lose sight Your name is yours to write [Outro] City lights fade to a quiet, stubborn glow Rico walks on, the decision now a seed he’s set to grow
