Concrete Jungle Tango

[Verse]
Streets hum, the concrete whispers secrets in the dark,
Manhole steam risin’, city's veins spark.
Neon bloodshot, veins of the block,
Every step’s a chessboard, king dodgin’ the clock.

Pigeons strut with gold chains, trash bag capes,
Sewer symphonies, rats conductin’ escapes.
Echoes of sirens, lullabies of the lost,
The price of survival, what’s the real cost?

[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, where the shadows rumble,
Dreams crumble, yet I never stumble.
Keep my hustle tight, my heart a bundle,
In the belly of the beast, I stay humble.

[Verse 2]
Graffiti prophets scribble sermons on the walls,
History bleeds where the paint drips and falls.
Curbside preachers sell salvation in a flask,
The devil’s in the details, but no one dared ask.

Crumpled bills in the hands of the blind,
Hope sold for a dime, peace hard to find.
Corner kids runnin’, hands full of fire,
Chasin’ a mirage, burnin’ with desire.

[Bridge]
Chain-link fences sing in the wind’s embrace,
Barbed wire crowns every forgotten space.
Skyscrapers pierce the sky, fingers of steel,
Reaching for heaven, but trapped in the deal.
