Concrete Jungle

[Verse]
Brick smoke air, lungs taste of metal
Steps on the pavement, city plays rebel
Hood rats scurry, chasing crumbs of cheddar
Brixton cold, grey clouds, no better

Pavement preacher, spitting sermons in the dark
Streetlights flicker, the city’s Noah's ark
Knives flash quicker than the siren's bark
Blood on the concrete, left its mark

[Chorus]
Concrete jungle, hear the beasts growl
Echoes in the alley, wolves on the prowl
Life’s a gamble, roll the dice foul
Survive or crumble, that’s the vow

[Verse 2]
Bus fumes thick, streets hot as kettles
Dreams in a shoebox, bricks press pedals
Steel cage city, no rose petal meadows
Words cut deep, sharper than stilettos

Council flats stacked like Lego towers
Rain hits tin roofs, monsoon showers
CCTV eyes watch, clock the hours
Rats turn kings, chasing street powers

[Bridge]
City don’t sleep, just grinds its teeth
Tension electric, hums underneath
Every shadow whispers, every corner breathes
Survival’s a blade, sharpened by grief
