Concrete Echoes

City lights flicker, shadows on the grind. Corners hold secrets, whispered through time.

Trash cans synchronize with a rat's parade. Dreams on the pavement,

left to decay. A kid chalks hope on a cracked-up street. Fading fast,

raced by shuffling feet. Concrete echoes. Concrete echoes, voices in the

dark. Heartbeats racin'. Heartbeats racin', tryna leave a mark.

Brick wall listenin'. Brick walls listen, they've heard it before. Urban struggles knockin'.

Never through the door. Potholes swallowin' stories untold. Blocks so cold,

even summers feel old. Mama's prayers hang heavy in the air.
