Verse
Rooftop car park, engines cooling down
Taxi uncle cuts the meter, turns it up loud
Security guard swaps his torch for a beer
Vendor's radio bleeding into here
Orange lights stack up block after block
Bassline climbing every water tank and lock
Someone's apron still tied at the waist
Nobody rushing, nobody in a race
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the whole block breathing
Rooftops turning into floors
Every tired hand still reaching
For a little bit more
Chorus
Beneath the city lights
We move like we own the sky
Beneath the city lights
Nobody's asking why
Beneath the city lights
The tired legs come alive
Beneath the city lights
Verse
Fold-up chairs and a cooler box of ice
Someone's daughter learning her mother's stride
Traffic hums low underneath the beat
Rubber soles scraping the concrete sheet
Uncle spins with his jacket on his arm
Neon sign flickers, throws a pink-lit charm
Whole shift done but the night's just woke
Smoke curls up from a shared last smoke
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the whole block breathing
Rooftops turning into floors
Every tired hand still reaching
For a little bit more
Chorus
Beneath the city lights
We move like we own the sky
Beneath the city lights
Nobody's asking why
Beneath the city lights
The tired legs come alive
Beneath the city lights
Bridge
Down below the buses idle slow
Up here we're the only ones who know
This grey roof turns to gold at midnight
Every worn-out face catching light
No stage, no ticket, just the view
Just the drum and the ones who stayed true
Chorus
Beneath the city lights
We move like we own the sky
Beneath the city lights
Nobody's asking why
Beneath the city lights
The tired legs come alive
Beneath the city lights
