[Verse]
Concrete jungle cracks the pavement hard
Shadows stretch long down the boulevard
Lying teeth grind sparks in the night
Fist clenched tight can't win this fight
[Chorus]
57th & 1st where chaos breeds
Steel and blood feed the city's needs
Fire in the gutters rage in the air
Friction sparks eternal despair
[Verse 2]
Neon blinks a rotten kind of glow
Sirens scream stories they'll never show
Corner shadows deal a cutthroat scheme
Dreams die fast in the broken machine
[Chorus]
57th & 1st where chaos breeds
Steel and blood feed the city's needs
Fire in the gutters rage in the air
Friction sparks eternal despair
[Bridge]
Skyline cuts like a jagged blade
Every block's another price unpaid
Hollow eyes peer from every face
Trapped rats never win in the race
[Chorus]
57th & 1st where chaos breeds
Steel and blood feed the city's needs
Fire in the gutters rage in the air
Friction sparks eternal despair
