Rhythm on the Rails
[Verse] Grimy tracks where the cypher circle, spinning wheels Underground express, no ticket needed, steel appeals Bars coiled tight like the subway snake, they reel City’s pulse, from boroughs to burbs, that's the deal [Verse 2] Echoes in the tunnel, beats poundin' on brick walls Graffiti scrawls, hood dreams in aerosol Metro flow, rush hour rhyme, never stall Catch the train of thought, before it derails and falls [Chorus] Rap trains moving, doors sliding, open and close Spit flames, smoke pluming, where the underground grows Grimy rhythm pumping, city symphony shows Hip-hop locomotive, on these streets we compose [Verse 3] Park bench at the station, boom box blasting, makeshift stage Words sharper than the conductor's whistle, soundtracks our age From the depths of the city, rap cards in a cage Bust through iron gates, hit tracks, turn the page [Bridge] Steam rises, pressure cooker, urban life narratives Molten rhyme lava, flowing from crates and ad-libs Switch tracks, alternate routes, no need for comparatives Freestyle freedom, destination: native narratives [Verse 4] Echoing footsteps, hustle in time, rhyme commuters Stories etched in steel, track life's tutors Steel serpents slithering, dream looters and suitors In transit, our verses ride, forever future sewers
