Shifting Scaffolding

[Verse 1]
The city breathes a different rhythm, now the high-rises cast longer shades,
Some built their trust like transient columns, dissolving in the light's parades.
Used to share the petrichor, after sudden, cleansing rains,
Now they're chasing luminescent halos, ignoring older, etched-in pains.
Saw the quiet anxiety of ambition, etched deep on the old church wall,
While the new annexes rose quickly, before they eventually stall.

[Chorus]
Only the bedrock knows the pressure, through every concrete season,
They watched the blueprints turn to treasure, with unwavering reason.

[Verse 2]
From crumbling facades on San Antonio, to this skyline's verdant gleam,
We spoke in hushed, existential musings, chasing a forgotten dream.
They saw the shadows stretch and lengthen, from the balcony at 3 AM,
Not just the fleeting, ephemeral glory, but the quiet, deep requiem.
The shifting foundations tested patience, through every weathered arch and beam,
But the true ones held their silent vigil, a resonant, unwavering stream.

[Chorus]
Only the bedrock knows the pressure, through every concrete season,
They watched the blueprints turn to treasure, with unwavering reason.

[Bridge]
No fractured stucco holds these memories, they're etched in steel and rebar strong,
This ain't a temporary scaffolding, where the superficial don't belong.
My own shadow stretches forward, past the echoes of the past,
Building legacies with loyalty, a foundation built to last.

[Outro]
Medellín hums a different cadence, a triumphant, silent sound,
Only bedrock brothers standing tall, on sacred ground.
