Concrete Love (النسخة 2)

Verse

Barefoot on the ledge of the block we own

Corner store light flicker, my shadow move like it owns the night

Momma said 'Cassius keep your hands in your pocket' but the money talks back every time

Every dollar got a name from the corner to the table, the hustle's my heart's only map

I ain't rich but I'm full up on what the streets gave me

Corner kids lookin' hungry, I feed 'em first before I eat

Somebody knock my momma's door at 2 A.M. again, I answer it myself this time

I built this block like a garden out of nothing, concrete and hope

Every kid that made it up left a light on so the next one ain't alone

Pre-Chorus

Now the city startin' to call me by my name

People say 'he ain't got a thing but love's a currency just the same

Every struggle was a seed, every struggle was a test

Now the whole block standin' taller than I ever guessed

Chorus

Concrete love is what built this street from the ground up

Concrete love keep us all here when it ain't gettin' done

Concrete love don't ask for nothing back, just the knowledge that we're still standing

We the proof that every hard-worked dollar was made of love and pain

Verse

Fire exit stairwell paint peelin', same four walls since I was a kid

Now my name's on the plaque
