Blood on Concrete (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Concrete cold where the old temple stood

Grit in my teeth like a storm had passed through

Spent my first pay on a silver tooth ring

Watched the city bleed into something new

Iron sky above an amber tide

Every dollar I made felt like a fight

Wore my hunger like armor against the night

Learned to starve so well I could never lose it

Pre-Chorus

Something in me won't stop, won't turn back down

Whatever the city owes, I'm coming for this town

Chorus

Blood on concrete where the pavement ends

I don't bleed like they do — I spend

Every hand that ever tried to hold me down

Turned to marble underneath this crown

Verse

Watched my father's name erased from the wall

Took his old boots and walked past it all

Sold my first piece of silver for a bus ticket home

Left the hunger burning, let the fire roam

Sweat was currency when I worked the floor

Every hand that touched me felt like theft before

But I kept my eyes locked on something higher than the store

Learned to treat a dollar like it owed me more

Pre-Chorus

Something in me won't stop, won't turn back down

Whatever the city owes, I'm coming for this town

Chorus

Blood on concrete where the pavement ends

I don't bleed like they do — I spend

Every hand that ever tried to hold me down

Turned to marble underneath this crown

Bridge

Maybe I was built from every debt they couldn't pay

Maybe the city's blood runs through my veins in gray

Whatever made me is what still makes me run

I keep that fire burning like it's the only sun

Chorus

Blood on concrete where the pavement ends

I don't bleed like they do — I spend

Every hand that ever tried to hold me down

Turned to marble underneath this crown
