Heavy

sirens,

bass
rumble)
Yeah.
Listen
close.
The
streets
don't
sleep,
they
just
wait.
Check
it.
I’
m
pacing
through
the
alley
where
the
moonlight
dies
Avoiding
all
the
shadows
hidden
in
these
hollow
eyes
The
concrete
is
a
graveyard
for
the
ones
who
tried
to
play
But
lost
their
footing
in
the
middle
of
the
disarray
I
keep
my
chin
tucked
low,
I
never
break
my
stride
There’
s
nowhere
left
to
run,
there’
s
nowhere
left
to
hide
My
pulse
is
steady
like
the
rhythm
of
the
iron
tracks
I’
m
moving
through
the
dark
and
I
ain’
t
ever
looking
back
The
silence
is
a
weapon
that
I
sharpen
in
the
night
I’
m
searching
for
the
truth
beneath
the
flickering
of
light
The
city
is
a
monster
with
a
hunger
that
is
deep
And
promises
of
fortune
are
the
secrets
that
it
keep
I’
ve
seen
the
way
they
crumble
when
the
pressure
starts
to
rise
I’
ve
seen
the
way
they
mask
the
truth
behind
the
hollow
lies
So
keep
your
distance
from
the
edge,
keep
your
spirit
sound
Before
you
end
up
buried
six
feet
deep
inside
the
ground.
Concrete
shadows
crawling
on
the
wall
Waiting
for
the
moment
that
you
start
to
fall
Street
survival
anthem,
keep
the
fire
burning
bright
Walking
through
the
furnace
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Yeah,
the
concrete
shadows,
they
never
let
you
rest
Put
your
heavy
spirit
to
the
ultimate
test
Survival
is
the
mission,
keep
the
vision
clear
Everything
you
wanted,
everything
you
fear.
I
hear
the
whisper
of
the
wind
against
the
rusted
gate
I’
m
navigating
hazards
while
I’
m
staring
down
my
fate
The
paranoia
rises
like
a
tide
against
the
shore
I’
m
knocking
on
the
devil’
s
door,
I’
m
looking
for
some
more
They
claim
they
want
the
crown,
they
claim
they
want
the
glory
days
But
they
ain't
never
walked
the
path
or
navigated
through
the
maze
I’
m
authentic
with
the
movement,
I’
m
precise
with
every
flow
I’
m
planting
all
the
seeds
and
I’
m
watching
how
they
grow
The
asphalt
is
burning
underneath
my
heavy
boots
I’
m
digging
down
deep,
I’
m
reaching
for
the
ancient
roots
The
system
is
designed
to
keep
you
locked
inside
a
cage
But
I’
m
tearing
through
the
iron,
I’
m
turning
every
page
No
room
for
mistakes,
no
room
for
a
second
chance
I’
m
locked
in
the
rhythm,
I’
m
leading
in
the
dance
Of
life
and
of
death,
of
pride
and
of
shame
In
the
city
of
the
lost,
I’
m
calling
out
my
name.
Concrete

Put

heavy
spirit
to
the

test
Survival
is
the
mission,
keep
the
vision
clear
Everything
you
wanted,
everything
you
fear.
Can
you
feel
the
tension
rising
in
the
stagnant
air?
Can
you
see
the
sorrow
underneath
the
heavy
stare?
It’
s
cold,
it’
s
ruthless,
it’
s
a
game
you
cannot
win
Unless
you
understand
the
skin
you’
re
living
in
Don’
t
look
for
mercy,
don’
t
look
for
a
hand
to
hold
Just
embrace
the
fire
as
the
story
is
foretold.
I
stand
at
the
summit,
overlooking
all
the
grime
I’
m
timeless
in
the
struggle,
I’
m
the
master
of
my
time
The
echoes
of
the
past
are
ringing
loudly
in
my
ears
I’
m
shedding
all
the
doubt,
I’
m
shedding
all
the
fears
From
the
corner
of
the
block
to
the
top
of
the
tower
I’
m
claiming
my
respect,
I’
m
claiming
all
my
power
It’
s
a
long
way
down,
it’
s
a
hard
way
up
I’
m
drinking
from
the
river,
I’
m
filling
up
the
cup
The
street
is
my
teacher,
the
struggle
is
my
school
And
I’
m
the
only
player
who
refuses
to
be
the
fool
So
listen
to
the
boom,
listen
to
the
crack
of
the
snare
I’
m
breathing
in
the
legacy,
I’
m
breathing
in
the
air
Of
a
champion
who
fought,
of
a
champion
who
bled
I’
m
keeping
it
real,
I’
m
leaving
all
the
rest
for
dead.

Just

Nothing
but
the
grit.
Keep
it
moving. (
