About
Pulsing boom bap kick-snare drives the track with swung hi-hat patterns and gritty sampling loops from vintage soul records, underpinned by a thunderous heavy bassline that rattles the speakers. Razor-sharp rap vocals spit urgent social commentary on systemic injustice and false illusions, escalating through verses into a rallying chorus that demands awakening and rebellion. Subtle vinyl scratches and layered ad-libs enhance the raw, street-authentic production, resolving in a powerful bridge fade-out.
Lyrics
Shadows creep where the light don't reach Dreams deferred in the daily grind we preach City posters with a hollow beat Suit stacking gold by the corner Kids dodge bullets, stories untold No pockets, empty hearts, heavy systems Regained puppets, dancing on strings Chasing fleeting fame, voices silencing the scroll Feeds full of lies truth buried deep under corporate skies We march for change but chains still bind Blind to the mirror, losing our mind Wake up, see the cracks in the ground Rise from the ashes, tear it all down No more illusions, feel the fire inside The night that we stand, let the real ones ride Wake up, break the cycle Wake up, break the cycle Wake up, break the cycle On your fight, social chains shatter in the dead of night Screens glow with rage, dividing the tribe Hate fuel, flames, barely keeping alive Leaderboard promise, serving two fields The storm, kids inherit the wreckage Norms deform, grieves the king on the throne The deceit, feasting on hope while we scrape the street Echoes of justice, lost in the noise But sparks ignite, when them real ones voice Pause, breathe, look deep In the soul, what we build it for Pain's the teacher, scars tell the tale Heal the divide, let the truth prevail Wake up, see the cracks in the ground Rise from the ashes, tear it all down No more illusions, feel the fire inside The night that we stand, let the real ones ride Wake up, break the cycle On your fight, social chains shatter in the dead of night Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We rise, no more sleep Walking through the worlds, watching What you gonna do? Rise, truth lives eternal Feel it true, feel it true, feel it true Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Thank you.
