[Intro: Diskiple & XCev]
Yeah, I came up from the bottom of the block
Let's feel this shit, come on now
Where the concrete jungle don't ever stop
This is what we was raised for
Riding through the city with the keys to the Benz
This soulful
Dreaming of a life that's beyond these ends
[Chorus: GeniusThaG]
In the city where the buildings touch the sky
Got dreams as big as the stars up high
Every corner telling a different story
Hustle hard, grindin' for that glory
Bright lights, fast life, never slowing down
From the gutter to the top, wearin' that crown
Streets talkin', whispers in the night
[Verse 1: GeniusThaG]
Reppin' that city life, where dreams are made and shattered
Big lights, big dreams, but it's still a place that's tattered
Streets painted with stories of struggle and ambition
Where every corner holds a tale of street superstition
From the Bronx to Brooklyn, uptown to downtown
The heartbeat of the city, it's the only sound
Sirens blaring, people screaming, echoes in the night
Lost souls searching for hope, trying to take flight
On these concrete streets where the hustlers roam
Opportunities scarce, they're just trying to find a home
Survival of the fittest, that's the city's code
Where the strong rise up, and the weak get told
[Chorus: GeniusThaG]
In the city where the buildings touch the sky
Got dreams as big as the stars up high
Every corner telling a different story
Hustle hard, grindin' for that glory
Bright lights, fast life, never slowing down
From the gutter to the top, wearin' that crown
Streets talkin', whispers in the night
[Verse 2: Diskiple]
Yo, we livin' in the heart of the jungle
Where the streets talk loud and the weak just crumble
Flexin' hard, got my crew on the block
Ain't no sweet talk, we rock, we stock
Bitches know we’s the kings of this concrete
Ballin’ like a motherfucker, feel that heartbeat
Bitch, I'm risin' like I’m yeast in the dough
Respect on my name, that's the way that I flow
Niggas hustle hard, grindin' late through the night
Thug life, we survive, we gon' put up a fight
Ain't no time for the fakes or the wannabes
We the realest on this block, bringin' you to your knees
[Chorus: GeniusThaG]
In the city where the buildings touch the sky
Got dreams as big as the stars up high
Every corner telling a different story
Hustle hard, grindin' for that glory
Bright lights, fast life, never slowing down
From the gutter to the top, wearin' that crown
Streets talkin', whispers in the night
[Verse 3: XCev]
City full of sharks, better watch where you swim
Keep it rough, keep it tough, on the edge of the brim
Got my eyes on the prize, ain't no lookin' back
Respect ain't free, motherfucker, that's a fact
From the towers to the alleys, we claim our throne
In the city of the lost, we ain't ever alone
Flexin' hard with the heart of a lion
In the jungle, we thrive, ain't no denyin'
So when you step in my hood, better show some love
[Chorus: GeniusThaG]
In the city where the buildings touch the sky
Got dreams as big as the stars up high
Every corner telling a different story
Hustle hard, grindin' for that glory
Bright lights, fast life, never slowing down
From the gutter to the top, wearin' that crown
Streets talkin', whispers in the night
[Verse 4: JayboJays]
Respect is the code, and we rise above
Ain't no room for the weak, only strong survive
In the city of respect, you either dead or alive
So raise a glass to the hustlers and the dreamers (Huh)
In this concrete jungle, we the real schemers (Huh)
A big fuck you to the fakes and the haters (Huh)
In this city of respect, we the gladiators (Gladiators)
[Chorus: GeniusThaG]
In the city where the buildings touch the sky
Got dreams as big as the stars up high
Every corner telling a different story
Hustle hard, grindin' for that glory
Bright lights, fast life, never slowing down
From the gutter to the top, wearin' that crown
Streets talkin', whispers in the night
