City Cipher

[Intro]

Yeah, city lights low

Still we build it from the pavement up

[Verse 1]

Concrete under my sneakers, heart beating like speakers

Cold nights made teachers, now the pressure made leaders

I was counting every setback, turning dust into feedback

Now the rhythm in my chest says never let the dream crack

[Hook]

We rise where the sirens sing

Turn pressure into rhythm, let the whole block ring

Hands up if you made it through

City cipher, same story, new view

[Verse 2]

Late bus, notebook, bars on the window

Hope in the margins where the streetlights flicker slow

Every line got a scar, every scar got a reason

I learned to make the winter sound louder than the season

[Outro]

City cipher, lights still glow

From the ground up, let it go
