Lyrics

Born in the shadows of the Bronx, where the concrete cracks Rhythms pulse like heartbeats, no turning back Spoken firewords weave through the night air Rhymes stack like bricks, building empires from despair Beat drops, heavy bass shakes the foundation deep Drum machines whisper secrets that the streets keep DJ spins the vinyl, scratching history alive Samples from the soul, where the struggle survives Hip-hop, the voice of the unheard, rising from the block Rap rebellion a lock in the lock over beats that bling We claim our throne spitting truth in the zone never alone Hip-hop, eternal flow, from the cradle to the grave Rap is our pain, turning waves into waves beats per minute, tempo locked and tight Flow cascades like rivers under city lights Old school echoes in the traps, modern grind Turntables turning time, leaving doubts behind Vocals cut sharp, samplers steal the spark From jazz horns to soul cries, lighting up the dark Streetwise swagger, introspective gaze Energetic anthems blaze through the haze Pause to spin, feel the silence break In the loop of life, what legacy we make From blocks to global stages wide Hip-hop's the thread, connecting every side No chains can hold the spoken word on It beats in our blood straight from the heart Lo-fi vibes and digital production, raw Bass heavy, thunder breaking every law Urban tales unfolding every bar I drop Confidence strides through the non-stop Trap snare snap, old school hooks pull Beats drive the spirit make a broken hope We rise from the rhythm claim the crown we earn Hip-hop forever, watch the culture burn Hip-hop, the voice of the unheard Rising from the block, the rebellion Unlocking the lock over beats that bang We claim our throne speaking truth in the zone never alone Hip-hop, eternal flow, from the cradle to the grave Wrapping our pain, turning waves into waves Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
