[Verse 1] I wake up to sirens on the bakery block Skip through the puddles past the boarded-up shop Taxi horns curse through the food cart steam Everybody moves like they chasing a dream Cracks in the sidewalk but I keep my stride Old tenement windows hold a thousand lives Kids on the corner play ball with a can Concrete jungle got me in its hand [Pre-Chorus] Hear that rumble? It don't sleep We all fall down then we leap Heart on my sleeve dust on my shoes If you know this place you know the rules [Chorus] Concrete jungle, take me home Concrete jungle, let me roam Concrete jungle, I won't fold Concrete jungle, hard and bold Concrete jungle, hear me now I rise up, I don't bow [Verse 2] Roof leaks drip in the summer heat Grandma on the stoop with a folding seat Kids got hope and a twisted grin Whole block shining from the fight within Paint on the fence and a pickup game Same cracked courts but the stars still flame I seen tough days try to break my name Still I walk through like I came to claim [Pre-Chorus] Hear that rumble? It don't sleep We all fall down then we leap Heart on my sleeve dust on my shoes If you know this place you know the rules [Bridge] Black sky hanging over iron and glass Still the morning comes like it always has Hands stay busy and the pulse stays live In this hard old maze we learn to survive [Hook] Concrete jungle, don't let go Concrete jungle, steal the show Concrete jungle, loud and proud Concrete jungle, say it now Concrete jungle, feel that flame I was made for this place Concrete jungle, call my name Concrete jungle, call my name
