Smokestacks rising dreams in the gutter
Dodgin bullets streets cold as butter
Pockets empty heart fulla hustle
Lifes a struggle stay outta trouble
Murals on the walls stories untold
Graffiti letters colors bold
Pavement cracked history's scroll
Walk these streets heart and soul
On the concrete we hustle every night
On the concrete under the city lights
On the concrete fightin' for our rights
On the concrete survival's the sight
Corner store catcalls echo
Police lights shadows in tow
Sneak past curfew day to day
Play the game make it pay
Rooftops fulla dreams unraveled
Steps we take sneakers gravelled
Voices loud streets they gamble
In this jungle lion scrambles
On the concrete we hustle every night
On the concrete under the city lights
On the concrete fightin' for our rights
On the concrete survival's the sight
