Shadow Scaffolding

They map the routes I walk, try to etch my name in stone,
But the back alleys whisper secrets only I condone.
Watch the scaffolding rise, they don't see who's really climbing,
Every broken window frames a tale, perfectly timing.
This city’s my blueprint, heavy as concrete, I claim it,
My chosen kin, the rebar holding the cracks, can’t tame it.

[Chorus]
Shadow Scaffolding, rising through the haze,
You see the structure, but never know my maze.
Heavy as concrete, the crown I wear unseen,
Brixton's heartbeat, where the real reigns queen.

[Verse 2]
Some days the sun still burns like Kingston on my skin,
Then the grey concrete pulls me back, where the battles begin.
They tried to condemn my block, thought the foundations would crack,
But inherited resilience, ain't no turning back.
From phantom limb memories, a strength I've gotta own,
To the silent gargoyles, carved from solid stone.

[Chorus]
Shadow Scaffolding, rising through the haze,
You see the structure, but never know my maze.
Heavy as concrete, the crown I wear unseen,
Brixton's heartbeat, where the real reigns queen.

[Bridge]
These crumbling edifices hold stories, silent, strong, and deep,
A legacy of rising, promises my crew will keep.
Hyper-visible or hidden, still I watch the shifting loyalties,
Protecting what we built, from all their false royalties.

[Outro]
Hear the echo in the walls, who's truly running things?
Onyx Reign, my empire sings.
