Through The Crack In The Concrete


The concrete's cold as steel,

Young Lives up for the Steal,

System got my Generation Locked in a wheel,

Cycle of destruction,

How can anything worth while grow in this cycle of abduction,

Stealing childhoods building Em up for eruption,

But against all odds I rose from the depths of seduction.

To come at you like a force with no reduction,

Young infinite mentality blowing up your mental capacity,

Showing these kids you can take on any catastrophe,

Believe in your dreams but don't just reach,

Teach, pay it forward for the future to see,

Plant your seed to flourish through the winds and the seas,

Just take a look at my life through the crack in the concrete.
