City Cadence

[Intro] Yeah, uh, step to the beat, mind sharp like a blade City lights flicker, dreams stay awake [Verse 1] I lace my thoughts with concrete verbs, drawl of the street, rhythm in word Ink on the page, hustle in the cadence, truth in every verb Fans in the corner, stories on the wall, I speak for the ones who heard From dusk till dawn, I push past the yawns, let ambition be my sword [Chorus] We rise, we grind, never decline, eyes on the prize we designed Voice in the crowd, we loud, unbound, hearts aligned Chance after chance, we dance with fate, we break through the strained Live in our moment, own every second, refuse to be contained [Verse 2] Snapbacks, notebook stacks, I spit facts, no cap, no act Lessons learned in the echoes of alleys, where dreams stayed intact Mic in my grip, I flip the script, resilience on impact Every setback a setup for a greater comeback [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, we claim this night, every scar a story bright Clock ticks but we move with purpose, future in sight [Chorus] We rise, we grind, never decline, eyes on the prize we designed Voice in the crowd, we loud, unbound, hearts aligned Chance after chance, we dance with fate, we break through the strained Live in our moment, own every second, refuse to be contained [Bridge] Breathe in, we ocean-deep, waves of doubt we learned to ride Step out the echo chamber, let truth be our guide [Chorus] We rise, we grind, never decline, eyes on the prize we designed Voice in the crowd, we loud, unbound, hearts aligned Chance after chance, we dance with fate, we break through the strained Live in our moment, own every second, refuse to be contained [Outro] Pause the night, fade the glare, still we stand, a living line From streetlight dreams to sunrise schemes, the hustle signs shine
