Concrete Jungle Sovereignty

Yo, we posted on the corner, eyes peeled for the noise Moving through the shadows, dodging all the loud patrols My homies ride or die, we keep it calm, no debates Cross the line, consequences hit, you learn it ain’t a game Straight out the gutter where the cold wind survives Keep my head tucked low, it’s a hell of a ride Chasing big dreams, stack the paper, make it mean While you talking to the wrong ones, we just building the team Pressure on the chest but the posture still proud Never needed permission, just a plan and a vow If the city want a tax, we pay it in sweat Turn pain into progress, no regrets on the steps This is life in the streets, where the weak don’t survive Real ones in the trenches just trying to stay alive Forget the talk, forget the noise, we the kings of the block Better watch your back when you hear that thunder knock Hold your ground, feel the heat, running the game In the city of the lost, everybody knows the name Know the name, know the name. Stand tall, stand tall. Sovereignty. Concrete jungle, we breathe. Catch a hit, shake it off, keep your feet in the dirt In this concrete jungle, yeah, everybody gets hurt I’m a problem, I’m a beast, I don’t play about mine Got my people up top, keeping watch all the time Talk that mess, get checked, learn respect in the street Counting up the progress, turning up the beat Haters talking real loud, they don’t know the pain Of a kid from the mud with nothing but the rain I learned patience in the hunger, learned aim in the doubt Turned a “no” into fuel, now the lights in my house Still I move with a code, no brag, no pose Just a heart full of grit and a mind full of roads This is life in the streets, where the weak don’t survive Real ones in the trenches just trying to stay alive Forget the talk, forget the noise, we the kings of the block Better watch your back when you hear that thunder knock Hold your ground, feel the heat, running the game In the city of the lost, everybody knows the name That’s right. Keep going. I move with a mission, no stall, no pause, no fear in the vision We built from the cracks, now the math looking different, the past can not prison City try to label me, I flip it, I’m able, I turn it to art and a system I keep it consistent, I speak it in rhythms, I breathe like the beat is my witness No time for the rumors, the doomers, the jealous who reaching for pieces they missing I’m stitching the team with a thread of belief and the needle is straight, never bending I learned how to pivot, go silent, go hard, then I strike with a calm kind of ending I’m not in a race, I’m the road, I’m the code, I’m the note that the street keeps defending Hands on the wheel of my fate, no remote, no controller, no puppet, no leash I’m focused on growth, on the work, on the worth, on the way that we all gotta eat From rain to a runway, from pain to a playlist, from late nights to daylight release Concrete jungle sovereignty, say it, then claim it, then show it, then make it repeat Repeat. repeat. Talk to ‘em. You hear that. We still here. Rain on the pavement, tears in the eyes Underneath the city lights, where the realness never dies We the outcasts, the rejects, the ones they despise But we rising from the ashes, look into our eyes No crown from a stranger, no throne from a lie Just a will that don’t fold and a dream that don’t die If the world want to test us, we answer with drive Concrete jungle sovereignty, we keep it alive This is life in the streets, where the weak don’t survive Real ones in the trenches just trying to stay alive Forget the talk, forget the noise, we the kings of the block Better watch your back when you hear that thunder knock Hold your ground, feel the heat, running the game In the city of the lost, everybody knows the name Sovereignty. That’s the code. Hold your ground. We made it... we made it.
