Concrete Smile

[Verse 1]
Man ah watch dem build dem empire, walls dem look so clean,
But me eye catch every fissure, know where dem structure lean.
From the pavement cracks to the high-rise gleam,
Dem talk 'bout future, I just weigh the dream.

[Chorus]
It's a concrete smile, watchin' the world move fast,
Heavy as granite, knowin' what's built to last.

[Verse 2]
Used to watch the gargoyles, carved on old Brixton stone,
Now I see the mimicry, trying to claim my throne.
Foundations laid on whispers, crumbling in the breeze,
My scaffolding of solace, puts my spirit at ease.

[Chorus]
It's a concrete smile, watchin' the world move fast,
Heavy as granite, knowin' what's built to last.

[Bridge]
They chase the neon shimmer, think it makes them bold,
But the rebar in my backbone, is a story centuries old.
A bittersweet inheritance, etched deep in my soul,
Dem still a try fi guess di plot, while I already know the goal.

[Outro]
Concrete heavy, a knowing wink in the night.
My reign just solid, built with ancestral might.
