Cracked Pavement Lullaby

[Verse 1]
Moonlight paint the rebar, cold and deep, yeah,
Every broken window got a secret to keep.
Mi seh di cane smoke still cling to mi clothes,
Even when the London fog swallow all mi woes.
Nuff time mi feel di pressure like a crumbling wall,
Watch the city lights fade before mi can fall.

[Chorus]
Another night, this cracked pavement lullaby,
Hear the girders groan, see the tears in my eye.
Concrete jungle bloom, a bitter truth mi seh,
Still stand tall, but the quiet ache won't stray.

[Verse 2]
Di old woman eyes, they see through di concrete shell,
Stories in her scars, dem harder than any jail.
She tell mi 'bout di spirits, guardin' every stone,
Ancestors dem whisper, never leave you alone.
Sometimes mi build up walls, just fi watch dem crumble slow,
But from di rubble, new foundation gotta grow.

[Bridge]
Silence hit different when the streetlights dim,
A heavy weight mi carry, right down to mi limb.
Wish fi a breeze, not di exhaust fumes so thick,
But dis concrete life, it make you strong and quick.

[Outro]
Just another echo in the shadowed scaffolding,
Still breathing this air, still silently suffering.
