The train keeps rattlin', iron on iron, past three AM
Just another night where the street lights look like lonely gems
Grey bricks, my canvas, permanent stain on the cement
Every crack tells a story, a soul that was lost or bent
Peep the silhouette, hoodie pulled low, movin' swift
Hustle's the only language when survival is the gift
No fairytale endings, just cold wind and empty pockets
We plot, we whisper secrets into these grimy sockets
The asphalt breathing steam, a cold heart pumpin' pain
Tryna find the sun, but all we see is the acid rain
Yo, this is the Poem of Grey Bricks, the code we memorize
Same cold corners, same broken skies
Hear the kick drum thumpin', see the truth in their eyes
Stuck in the maze, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
They say the streets raised me, but they never told me the cost
Every victory's measured by somethin' we forever lost
The mirror shows a prophet, the world shows a hungry man
Tryna break the cycle, stickin' to the master plan
My mind is the fortress, the bricks are the lessons learned
See the fake love fade, watch the plastic bridges burned
Yeah, the boom-bap rhythm is the heartbeat of this place
Keep my head above water, maintaining my own space
Spitting my truth raw, no sugar, no chaser, just grit
This concrete verse is all I have, I ain't quittin' it
Yo, this is the Poem of Grey Bricks, the code we memorize
Same cold corners, same broken skies
Hear the kick drum thumpin', see the truth in their eyes
Stuck in the maze, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
They say the concrete breeds killers, but I see philosophers too
Searching for the right angle, something honest and true
My pen's a sledgehammer, trying to crack these foundation lines
I write the future in stanzas, escaping the dirt and confines
Gotta teach the young ones the difference between shine and gold
Before their innocence gets bought, flipped, and brutally sold
This grey narrative repeats, and the volume keeps on rising
I'm just a brick in the wall, but my words are revolutionizing
So when the bass drops heavy and the snare hits your soul
Remember the lesson: take control, make yourself whole
Yo, this is the Poem of Grey Bricks, the code we memorize
Same cold corners, same broken skies
Hear the kick drum thumpin', see the truth in their eyes
Stuck in the maze, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Poem of Grey Bricks yeah
Same cold corners just listen to the thump
The code we memorize
Another day survived
