Song Lyrics: "GHOSTS OF THE CONCRETE"

Song Lyrics: "GHOSTS OF THE CONCRETE" [Intro] (Ein melancholisches Piano-Sample setzt ein, überlagert von einem harten Jerk-Percussion-Loop) (Pacs Stimme, tief und nachdenklich) They say we’re just statistics, you know? Just another body on the pavement. But they don’t see the soul behind the struggle. Yeah... for my brothers in the dark. (Beat Drop – Aggressive 808s) [Verse 1] Look into the eyes of a young soul, hollow and cold In a world where the truth is never told, and stories unfold I see 'em leaning on the corner, backs bent to the floor Is it the drug or the system that’s knocking at the door? They call it Jerk, but I call it a rhythmic cry Underneath the flashing lights, where the legends go to die. I’m a soldier of the street, with a pen as my blade Watching my people wither in this concrete shade. They want us mindless, walking dead, no heart in the chest But a Thug’s passion never lets a brother rest! [Chorus] Walking Dead, but my spirit’s screaming "Life!" Through the hunger and the hunger, through the struggle and the strife. It’s a HoodTrap, baby, don’t let it pull you down Keep your head up, even when you’re wearing a thorny crown. (Ad-libs: Thug Life! Can you feel me?) [Verse 2] I ain’t rapping 'bout the high, I’m rapping 'bout the "Why?" Why we gotta lose a brother 'fore we see him fly? Xylazine dreams, but the nightmare is real They trade their dignity for a ghost-white meal. I’m on the block with the outlaws, masked and ready Flow like a heartbeat, heavy and steady. In this black and white world, I still see the red From the blood of the innocent that the city has fed. Don’t just dance to the beat, hear the message in the sound We gotta rise up, 'fore they put us in the ground! [Outro] (Beat wird ruhiger, nur noch der Bass und das Piano) Only God can judge the man in the mask. Don't let 'em trap your soul, brother. Stay strong... keep your eyes on the sun. (Voice fades out) "Rest in peace to the ones who didn't make it out the zone..."
