Lyrics

[Verse]
Tickin' clocks, heavy thoughts, mind trapped in a maze,
Memories of past days, lost in purple haze,
Sneakers on gravel, echo under street lamps,
Mind a battleground, struggle with the stamps.

[Chorus]
Caught up in the moment, life a battleground,
Heartbeats sync to the city's sound,
Eyes wide open, no time to slack,
Future on my mind, never lookin' back.

[Verse 2]
Dusty records, vinyl crackles like old bones,
Handful of dreams, burdens and loan stones,
Graffiti walls speak secrets of the night,
Life on the edge, no wrongs, only my rights.

[Chorus]
Caught up in the moment, life a battleground,
Heartbeats sync to the city's sound,
Eyes wide open, no time to slack,
Future on my mind, never lookin' back.

[Verse 3]
Streetlights flicker, dreams sicker than codeine,
Life a movie, ain't always what it seems,
Homies gone, phantoms in the city's gleam,
Reality's harsh, chase the American dream.

[Bridge]
Hope’s a shadow, slips through my hands,
Concrete jungle, every man takes a stand,
Mind over matter, hustle the common theme,
Life’s a mixed tape, flip the track, find the scheme.
