Concrete Crown (версия 2)

Verse

Concrete cracked where my name was drawn

City swallowed all I called home

Streets still calling when the lights go low

Every scar's a weight I don't let go

Four years hustle, no handouts, no faith

Sold my dreams for paper, paid the debt in waste

Watched the block turn circles, watched it spin and stall

Pre-Chorus

So how do you hold on to the dream when the ground keeps shifting?

How do you stay still when the whole city's drifting?

I built my throne out of nothing, out of dust and doubt

Every piece I'm missing, I'm counting out loud

Chorus

Concrete crown, heavy as a weight

Every step was earned through blood and fate

They don't know the price behind the smile

This is how I stay alive for miles

Verse 2

Now the block still calling but my answer's changed

I built a floor where they used to stand in rain

Same streets, different light, same hunger, different goal

Every corner got a name I wrote in coal

I don't trust a king who ain't held up his throne

This is mine before it's theirs, this is how I'm known

Pre-Chorus

So how do you hold on to the dream when the ground keeps shifting?

How do you stay still when the whole city's drifting?

I built my throne out of nothing, out of dust and doubt

Every piece I'm missing, I'm counting out loud

Chorus

Concrete crown, heavy as a weight

Every step was earned through blood and fate

They don't know the price behind the smile

This is how I stay alive for miles

Bridge

One more winter, one more door that swings shut

I'll still be standing where they thought I'd quit it up

The city don't forgive but I do what's owed

My crown's not gold — it's rust and every debt I owe

Chorus

Concrete crown, heavy as a weight

Every step was earned through blood and fate

They don't know the price behind the smile

This is how I stay alive for miles
