Framed in Light

My phone buzzed quiet, light on my hand,
A lost connection, now back in command.
"Ciphertext, on the billboard? Word, that's wild,"
A blast from the past, a memory compiled.
From shared foundations, where concrete dreams laid bare,
Now a superstructure, hanging in the city air.

[Chorus]
This ain't just my name, caught in the light,
It's every unseen hand, making our futures bright.
We building higher, from the bedrock we grew,
A Scarborough story, fresh and brand new.

[Verse 2]
Remember those corner stores, the roti smoke thick?
Plotting global blueprints, with just a dollar and a brick.
You saw the verdigris, knew the struggle's true cost,
Never bowed a single beam, no moment ever lost.
From the ground up we framed it, brick by careful brick,
Now the whole city sees the structure, resilient and quick.

[Bridge]
They tried to splinter our vision, tell us we wouldn't last,
But the load-bearing spirit, anchored firm to the past.
We shored up the silence, let the truth now resound,
A testament of timber, growing from hallowed ground.

[Outro]
Yeah, we built it to last, every joint strong and true,
The block watching, knowing, this moment's for me and for you.
