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
