Gravel Grin

[Verse 1]
Old neon flickers, a slow-blinking eye,
See the rebar grin where the rich dreams die.
Concrete cracks wide, a map for the lost,
Every broken slab knows the exact cost.
We learned the shortcuts, past the choked-up drains,
Laughing at shadows that dance in the rains.

[Chorus]
Gravel grin, it's the city's quiet jest,
Under fractured stone, put our grit to the test.
Yeah, the pavement laughs, a brittle, silent sound,
On this chipped-up block, we stand our ground.

[Verse 2]
Rusted cables sag, just like forgotten pride,
Generational whispers, nowhere left to hide.
They tried to patch cracks with thin veneer,
But true foundations show the grime from every year.
The old man's shuffle, a rhythm on the grey,
Knows every loose brick, come what may.

[Chorus]
Gravel grin, it's the city's quiet jest,
Under fractured stone, put our grit to the test.
Yeah, the pavement laughs, a brittle, silent sound,
On this chipped-up block, we stand our ground.

[Bridge]
They lay new asphalt, try to smooth the scars,
But the ghost-light dances under faded stars.
Every silence hums, a code in the dark,
We're the quiet laugh, leaving our own mark.

[Chorus]
Gravel grin, it's the city's quiet jest,
Under fractured stone, put our grit to the test.
Yeah, the pavement laughs, a brittle, silent sound,
On this chipped-up block, we stand our ground.

[Outro]
Just the gravel grin, under neon's last gleam,
A quiet punchline to a waking dream.
