Under the Concrete Rose

Verse 1

Old scars and older wounds

Late night sitting in the room

Praying for the sun to show up

Watching brothers never grow up

Every single corner's got a name

Every player losing in the game

The system want us locked in cages

Tearing out the history pages

Pre-Chorus

Looking for a way out

Shouting for a way out

They just wanna shut us down

But they can't take the crown

Chorus

This life is more than a dream

Trying to break through the scheme

This life is more than a dream

Everything ain't what it seem

I hold my head up high

Looking at the dark sky

This life is more than a dream

Verse 2

Hunger hurts inside the chest

Nobody getting any rest

See the mothers crying in the rain

Trying to numb the heavy pain

Streets are cold and bitter

Littered with the shine and glitter

Broken glass beneath the feet

Surviving on the concrete street

Pre-Chorus

Looking for a way out

Shouting for a way out

They just wanna shut us down

But they can't take the crown

Chorus

This life is more than a dream

Trying to break through the scheme

This life is more than a dream

Everything ain't what it seem

I hold my head up high

Looking at the dark sky

This life is more than a dream

Bridge

Maybe we can change it all

Maybe we won't have to fall

They expect us to fail

Keep us trapped in the jail

Keep us trapped in the cell

Raising kids in this hell

Chorus

This life is more than a dream

Trying to break through the scheme

This life is more than a dream

Everything ain't what it seem

I hold my head up high

Looking at the dark sky

This life is more than a dream
