Yeah let the rhythm speak
From these city streets
Check the method
I walk these asphalt pages pen my psalms
Where moonlight hits the fire escapes like palms
The city breathes a rhythm I translate
Through notebook scribbles sealing my fate
Hollow echoes in the subway's chest
Where tired souls come to find their rest
I catch their stories in my net of verse
A sidewalk scholar reversing the curse
My pen's the needle the paper's the groove
Searching for the truth these streets can prove
These are my concrete psalms my urban prayers
Spitting verses to the night that cares
Over drum breaks and sampled hymns
My soul pours out from these city limbs
These are my concrete psalms my sacred text
Putting these hard lessons to the test
From the corner spot to the rooftop view
Every bar I write is bleeding true
The bodega cat blinks in neon light
Witness to verses I write through the night
Old men play dominoes like chess with time
Their moves become metaphors in my rhyme
Rain washes gutters but can't cleanse the pain
Just turns it to poetry falling like rain
I collect moments like rare vinyl finds
The perfect loop playing in my mind
The boom is the heartbeat the bap is the snap
Of reality cracking revealing the map
These are my concrete psalms my urban prayers
Spitting verses to the night that cares
Over drum breaks and sampled hymns
My soul pours out from these city limbs
These are my concrete psalms my sacred text
Putting these hard lessons to the test
From the corner spot to the rooftop view
Every bar I write is bleeding true
Some seek salvation in stained glass light
I find my grace in the dead of night
With SP-1200 humming low
Translating everything I know
The preacher quotes from ancient scrolls
I quote from what the pavement holds
Different pulpits same confession
Life's a question art's the lesson
The dawn arrives like a muted horn
Another chapter being born
I leave my mark in vapor trails
Another story the city tells
The garbage trucks chant the morning psalm
As I return my thoughts to calm
This concrete church has blessed my soul
Made broken pieces feel somehow whole
Concrete psalms
Urban prayers
Through the noise
Someone cares
Yeah
Peace
