Lyrics

[Verse]
Brick walls whisper secrets, rats scurry for scraps
Streetlights flicker dim, shadows plotting their traps
Graffiti screams louder than the sirens at dawn
Dreams get snatched quicker than a purse that's worn

Pavement's hot, burns soles, souls walking alone
Bodega cats guarding thrones of crushed Styrofoam
Smoke rises, not incense, but tension in air
Hope buried six feet deep, nobody playing fair

[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, where the wild things dwell
Every block got a story, every corner got hell
Concrete jungle, where the strong prevail
Some rise, some crumble, some end up in jail

[Verse 2]
Mama's prayers hit the ceiling, bounce back to her chest
Pops ghosted, left a shadow, now the block’s the test
Shorty’s rocking Jordans but his fridge stay bare
Pockets full of dreams, but the rent ain't there

Gunshots sing lullabies, lull dreams to sleep
Bullets talk louder than preachers who preach
Chalk outlines trace tomorrow’s forgotten name
Life’s a dice game, but the dealer don’t play fair

[Bridge]
Cracks in the sidewalk mirror cracks in the heart
Every kid’s a Picasso, but they tearing the art
Chains dangle heavy, freedom feels like a joke
Climbing out the jungle’s just a rumor they spoke
