City lights flicker, shadow on the block,

Hoods up, face masked, evading the cops,

Gritty tales whispered, knives in the sock,

Life a revolving door, no time for a stop.

Concrete jungle, lions prowl at night,

Survival of the fittest, gotta stay tight,

Phone buzz with the plug, green in sight,

Risk it all for the paper, scales never light.

In the trap, where stories unfold,

Heart cold, cause they took my bro,

Stacking pounds, never grow old,

On this grind, till the final go.

In the trap, where stories unfold,

Heart cold, cause they took my bro,

Stacking pounds, never grow old,

On this grind, till the final go.

Drill gods whisper, sins in my ear,

Blood on the pavement, bringin' fear near,

Keep the circle tight, never let 'em peer,

Loyalty sealed, like diamonds clear.

Council estate dreams, chains on the mind,

Gone from beans, grinding just to find,

Freedom elusive, tryna stay unconfined,

Ink on the page, stories intertwined.
