Echoes in the Concrete

[Verse]
Rats in the subway, dance to the beat
Echoes of the city where the night don’t sleep
Concrete veins, blood of the streets
Hunger in the alleys where the shadows creep

Dust on my kicks, stories they tell
Born in the furnace, walked out of hell
Voices in my head, they ring like a bell
Steel heart pumping, where the echoes dwell

[Chorus]
Echoes in the concrete, hear 'em callin'
Feet hit the pavement, never fallin'
Dreams like smoke, they keep on stallin'
But I keep runnin’, yeah, I keep brawlin'

[Verse 2]
Neon signs, pulse like a vein
Broken umbrellas in the acid rain
Faces pass by, all etched with pain
A city’s a jungle, survival's the game

I’m the glitch in the system, code they can't crack
Bassline heavy, spine snaps back
Eyes on the skyline, mind off-track
Truth in the static, no time to slack

[Bridge]
Heart beats sync with the drum machine
World’s a loop, stuck in a dream
Hologram futures, nothing's as it seems
Life’s a beat, trapped in a ream
