[Intro]
Dust on the pavement, neon in the rain
Hollow bells echo, footsteps mark the terrain
[Verse 1]
Corners whisper histories of burn and brass
Skylines chew on the night, a city that never asks
A kid with a backpack, dreams heavier than steel
Counts every heartbeat, every risk that’s real
[Pre-Chorus]
But the sirens sing softly, a code in the streets
Survival isn’t luck, it’s where you plant your feet
[Chorus]
We push through the grit, we rise from the grime
Eyes on the horizon, making pennies feel like dimes
If the road gets heavy, we shoulder the load
Hands keep the ledger, hearts keep the code
[Verse 2]
Markets breathe of lacquer and rust on the walls
Where loyalties shift like shadows when night calls
A mother locks the door, a cousin keeps the gain
And every small decision writes a larger name
[Pre-Chorus]
But we trade whispers for courage, we choose what we stand for
The city’s rough edges teach what calm is for
[Chorus]
We push through the grit, we rise from the grime
Eyes on the horizon, making pennies feel like dimes
If the road gets heavy, we shoulder the load
Hands keep the ledger, hearts keep the code
[Bridge]
No glory in the fall, just mercy in the climb
We lift the fallen block by block, we break through time
[Chorus]
We push through the grit, we rise from the grime
Eyes on the horizon, making pennies feel like dimes
If the road gets heavy, we shoulder the load
Hands keep the ledger, hearts keep the code
[Outro]
Streetlight glow fades slow, dawn starts to bloom
Survival isn’t victory, but it saves us from the void
We carry on, resilient, in the rhythm of the room
