Lyrics

[Verse]
Shadows creep where the streetlights flicker,
Dreams in the gutter, but the wristwatch thicker.
City cold-blooded, heart turnin' to stone,
Came from the dirt, now the throne's my zone.

[Verse 2]
Clocks tick loud, but I outrun time,
Chains on my neck, but I stay unconfined.
Hustle in my veins, hear the grind in my tone,
Diamonds in the struggle, now the crown is home.

[Chorus]
Hands up high for the life we claim,
Blood in the soil, now they chant my name.
From the blocks where the shots still rain,
To the top, yeah, I rise through pain.

[Verse 3]
Pavement scorchin', the heat don't fade,
Flame in my chest like the torch I made.
Grime in the cracks, but my shine don’t fade,
Built from the ashes, a king self-made.

[Bridge]
Echoes of the past in the steps I tread,
Demons in my shadow, but they ain’t been fed.
Got a throne in my sights, and my soul won’t bow,
In the land of the lost, I’m the king somehow.

[Chorus]
Hands up high for the life we claim,
Blood in the soil, now they chant my name.
From the blocks where the shots still rain,
To the top, yeah, I rise through pain.
