Iron Bloom

Vocalist: female
[Verse 1]
The city's got a memory, etched in every crack,
But the true strength ain't the facade, it's what you carry back.
Dem see the new build shining, don't clock the ghost in the scaffolding,
My history's rebar beneath the paint, no time for baffling.

[Chorus]
Iron bloom, through the concrete grit,
This foundation heavy, nowhere to quit.
Iron bloom, from the ground it creeps,
Old city secrets, the concrete keeps.

[Verse 2]
Man ah chat 'bout loyalty, easy come, easy go,
But the real ones built like girders, watch their true colours show.
From Brixton alley whispers, to high-rise window gleam,
Every gaze a microscope, part of a waking dream.

[Chorus]
Iron bloom, through the concrete grit,
This foundation heavy, nowhere to quit.
Iron bloom, from the ground it creeps,
Old city secrets, the concrete keeps.

[Bridge]
Sometimes the weight of stone, feels like a phantom limb's ache,
For the Kingston sun, for the paths we used to take.
Still, the roots run deep, where the spirits won't break,
Another generation's fight, for goodness sake.

[Outro]
The city sleeps, but the rebar sings.
Hear the iron bloom, what the future brings.
