Lyrics
Another late night, old stories untold.
Scaffolding climb high, a hollow steel frame
Holdin' up nothing but the city's old shame.
[Chorus]
Shattered light, cold night, deh 'lone again
Ancestors whisper, through the wind and rain.
Shattered light, cold night, in this grey maze
Still find a bloom, through the darkest days.
[Verse 2]
Hear the 808s thump, deep inna my chest
Echoes from yard, put my spirit to the test.
Smell the wet concrete mix with exhaust fumes thick
Memory deh haunt me, carved in every brick.
Man dem tear down the old, fi build up the new
But the ghosts dem still linger, for me and for you.
[Bridge]
The rebar bends slow, beneath the pressure's might
Still I stand tall, a flicker in this fragile light.
Every crack in the wall, a line of hard-won grace
This concrete jungle bloomin', findin' its own space.
[Outro]
Just a ghost in the grout, watchin' the city sleep.
Another broken promise, a silent vow to keep.
