Street Reflections

[Verse] City lights they glisten midnight air it thickens Concrete dreams lost ambitions withered Wandering souls no direction spinning Heartbeats echo muffled screams of living [Verse 2] Echoes of the streets their stories untold Pavement bruises from weights we fold Jazz horns wail lonely nights grow cold Wisdom spars with naivety lost in the gold [Chorus] Sailing through veins of a city so blind Weary eyes searching shadows we find Grooves in the murk beats that bind Hope intertwined with fate's fickle grind [Verse 3] Bus stop prophets preaching haste and worry Rhythms of struggle faces so blurry Sidewalks painted with dreams in a hurry Jazz keys striking truths raw and slurry [Bridge] Old alley whispers secrets and lies Echoes mingle with the crooning of skies History written in sketches and sighs Soulful melodies in impassioned cries [Verse 4] Life’s a paradox jazz and hip hop speak Voices lost lessons of the weak Instruments scream futures they seek Broken chords mend where words fall bleak
