Steel Backbone

Pressure drop low, hear di rebar groan
Mi backbone steel, standin' all alone
This concrete jungle, mi blood and mi bone
Dem can't shake mi throne, yeah, mi built it on mi own.

Sunrise cut the haze, through mi window bars
From old yard soil, to these London scars
Every fractured slab, holdin' ancient pleas
Mi spirit a fortress, sealed up all di gates.

Pressure drop low, hear di rebar groan
Mi backbone steel, standin' all alone
This concrete jungle, mi blood and mi bone
Dem can't shake mi throne, yeah, mi built it on mi own.

Ghost dem walk di alley, whisper in di breeze
Mi mind a blueprint, findin' moments of ease
A stubborn green shoot, through di pavement creep
Dem can't crush di vision, mi structure too deep.

Sometimes mi yearn for quiet, 'fore di next storm hits
But di ancestors whisper, "Never quit, never quit"
So mi brace di girders, tighten up di bolts inside
Dem watch mi rebuild, with nowhere left to hide.

Yeah, mi stand tall.
Concrete heart, can't fall.
