[intro]
All of these dreams feel real
Still on the block, still build
Name on the deed, that’s sealed
Came from a coin in a till (yeah)
[verse 1]
Bus stop rain on my creps
Still had plans on a jet
Mum said "pray, do your best"
I turned stress into steps
Two phones buzz in my palm
One for the love, one harm
One for the plug from farm
One for my sis, stay calm
G-check heart, who’s true?
Who’s just there for the view?
Seen man switch for a queue
Trade day ones for a new crew
Stomach on e, still glide
Council flat windows wide
Watching that sky each night
Asking, "when do we rise?"
[chorus]
Concrete dreams, i bleed for the team (for the team)
Ride for the ones that ride for me, that’s mean
Whole city talk, but they don’t know schemes
I don’t chase hype, i just chase these dreams
Concrete dreams, can’t fold, can’t sleep (can’t sleep)
If i say "bro", that bond run deep
Every little scar tattooed in the streets
I don’t chase clout, i just chase these dreams (yeah)
[verse 2]
Night bus seats all torn
Still saw life in the storms
Wrote sixteen on my phone
Turned one rhyme to a home
Heard man talk that grease
Never came out on deeds
We seen real ones take pleas
We seen fake ones get freed
Council bricks on my mind
Still draw maps when i write
Turn that block to a brand
Turn that brand to a right
Auntie said "leave that scene"
Teacher said "know your means"
I said "watch how i lean"
Turn whole pain into streams (uh)
[chorus]
Concrete dreams, i bleed for the team (for the team)
Ride for the ones that ride for me, that’s mean
Whole city talk, but they don’t know schemes
I don’t chase hype, i just chase these dreams
Concrete dreams, can’t fold, can’t sleep (can’t sleep)
If i say "bro", that bond run deep
Every little scar tattooed in the streets
I don’t chase clout, i just chase these dreams (yeah)
[bridge]
Who stayed when the blue lights flashed?
Who held when the whole ting crashed?
Who called when the line went mad?
Same few names, that’s that
Who prayed when i missed them calls?
Who picked when i hit that wall?
I write them into these bars
That’s how we all stand tall (stand tall)
[chorus]
Concrete dreams, i bleed for the team (for the team)
Ride for the ones that ride for me, that’s mean
Whole city talk, but they don’t know schemes
I don’t chase hype, i just chase these dreams
Concrete dreams, can’t fold, can’t sleep (can’t sleep)
If i say "bro", that bond run deep
Every little scar tattooed in the streets
I don’t chase clout, i just chase these dreams (yeah, yeah)
