City Lights 2

CITY LIGHTS

Intro

"Ayo turn it up... we dancin' tonight."

"Trash fires glowin', speakers hummin'... time to move."

⸻

Verse 1

Cold streets, cracked pavement talk,

Every stoop got a story when the day gets dark.

Mama singin' near the corner store,

Kids got rhythm beatin' bottles on the floor.

Smoke risin' where the barrels burn,

Every block got a vibe, every soul take a turn.

Life ain't easy, but we all align,

One beat, one block, one city, one shine.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

City hearts beat slow, but our feet move fast,

We don't need much, just the groove and the past.

Voices risin', no spotlight in sight—

Just a whole neighborhood lit by streetlight.

⸻

Chorus

Under the City Lights—

We move like nothin's wrong.

Every soul, every fight,

Turns into rhythm and song.

Oooh, under the City Lights—

We shine, we laugh, we sway,

Forget the pain tonight...

We got music, and we gon' play.

⸻

Verse 2

Cousin hit the snare on a mailbox lid,

Lil' man poppin' moves like he never been a kid.

Sax in the alley like a midnight breeze,

Girls hummin' hooks in harmony with ease.

Ain't no stage, but the whole street shine,

From the old heads two-steppin' to the front line.

We ain't rich, but our joy too loud,

So we dance with the struggle in a funked-out crowd.

⸻

Bridge – Soul Loop

(slowed beat)

We rise...

No suits, no stars, just light in our eyes.

We vibe...

Burnin' through the cold like soul in the skies.

(beat speeds back up into final chorus)

⸻

Final Chorus

Under the City Lights—

We move like nothin's wrong.

Every soul, every fight,

Turns into rhythm and song.

Oooh, under the City Lights—

We shine, we laugh, we sway,

Forget the pain tonight...

We got music, and we gon' play.

City Lights... yeah, we still stay bright.

In the dark, we groove through life...
