Woke up at dawn to the hum of the grid
Concrete under my worn out kicks
Grid in the air
Dreams in my chest
The city don't sleep it don't second guess
From the back streets where the underdogs grind
To the skyline where the bright lights shine
I wrote my name on a brick wall vow
Ain't no quitting even when the odds bow
I seen the rain wash the neon signs
Felt the cold when the rent's behind
But the city's pulse don't skip a beat
She feeds the fire and the ones who compete
From the bodega late night coffee sips
To the rooftop where the true ones sit
We trade stories of the fights we fought
The steel town's got a soul that can't be bought
She don't give it easy but she gives it real
Steel and soul that's the deal
Every scar's a story
Every win's a feel
The city's pulse is what makes it heal
Steel and soul
The city's pulse beats loud
Through the dark through the fight through the crowd
We rise we fall
We stand our ground
Steel and soul this is where dreams are found
Steel and soul
The city's heart don't lie
It's in the streets in the love in the tribe
We bleed we breathe
We reach for the sky
Steel and soul this is our time to fly
Steel and soul
The city's pulse beats loud
Through the dark through the fight through the crowd
We rise we fall
We stand our ground
Steel and soul this is where dreams are found
Steel and soul
The city's heart don't lie
It's in the streets in the love in the tribe
We bleed we breathe
We reach for the sky
Steel and soul this is our time to fly
They say we're too small the city's too tough
But we carved our space with blood sweat and trust
We're stronger
This ain't just concrete
It's a living breathing love
Our home
Heal and soul
Hand in glove
We won't let go
Steel and soul
The city's pulse beats loud
Through the dark through the fight through the crowd
We rise we fall
We stand our ground
Steel and soul this is where dreams are found
Steel and soul
The city's heart don't lie
It's in the streets in the love in the tribe
We bleed we breathe
We reach for the sky
Steel and soul this is our time to fly
Steel and soul
The city's pulse beats loud
Through the dark through the fight through the crowd
We rise we fall
We stand our ground
Steel and soul this is where dreams are found
Steel and soul
The city's heart don't lie
It's in the streets in the love in the tribe
We bleed we breathe
We reach for the sky
Steel and soul this is our time to fly
