Concrete Canopy

[Verse 1]
They watched us crack and crumble, thought we'd fall to dust,
But every fractured pavement, held a core of trust.
From Brixton alleys shadowed, to the island pulse within,
The rebar of my spirit, where the future can begin.

[Chorus]
Concrete canopy, rising through the grey,
Heavy as the future, clearing yesterday.
Built brick by brick, no room for old mistakes,
Watch these towers elevate, for my own family's sake.

[Verse 2]
The city's pulse my rhythm, in this skyline I ascend,
Every silent struggle, is a story I transcend.
They whisper names in corners, of the homes we left behind,
But my strength's a skyscraper, etched deep into my mind.

[Chorus]
Concrete canopy, rising through the grey,
Heavy as the future, clearing yesterday.
Built brick by brick, no room for old mistakes,
Watch these towers elevate, for my own family's sake.

[Bridge]
From forgotten scaffolding, to the highest, brightest pane,
I wear my past like armour, through the sun and through the rain.
This resilience runs deeper than any condemned wall,
We build from the foundations, standing defiant and tall.

[Outro]
Yeah, defiant and tall, watch us rise.
Under concrete canopy, ruling city skies.
