Description
(Intro)
Yeah, listen close, this one’s from the heart
Tears on the asphalt, stories from the start
(Verse 1)
I grew up where streetlights faint like dying hope,
Every corner na sermon, but na hunger dey preach the scope.
Papa vanish with promises, mama carry cross alone,
Her hands crack like dry soil, still she plant love in my bone.
Area boys dey laugh, but their laughter no dey heal,
Na camouflage for pain wey poverty no dey conceal.
One neighbor dey flex Benz, another dey flex casket,
We measure life with balance: some make it, some no last it.
(Chorus)
Tears on the asphalt, stories never told,
From the cracks of the city where the nights get cold.
Hold on to your dreams, even when they fall,
We rise from the ashes, tears on the asphalt.
(Verse 2)
Dreams dey fragile like nylon, wind fit tear am any night,
So I guard mine with silence, pen dey sharpen for the fight.
Education tell me “wait,” but belly dey say “now,”
Certificate dey gather dust, hustle dey teach me how.
See, police dey stop me, search my bag like I be thief,
But inside, na rhyme I dey carry, verses heavy with grief.
If I talk, them fit lock me, if I run, them fit shoot,
So I swallow words with patience, plant revenge in my root.
(Chorus)
Tears on the asphalt, stories never told,
From the cracks of the city where the nights get cold.
Hold on to your dreams, even when they fall,
We rise from the ashes, tears on the asphalt.
(Bridge)
Sometimes I question God, but na faith still dey reply,
Say even seed wey drown for mud go find sun when e dry.
So I lace my pain with wisdom, use scars take draw my map,
If life dey play me dirty, I dey turn the dirt to rap.
(Outro)
I no dey beg spotlight, candlelight fit guide my lane,
I go burn till wax finish, still my shadow go remain.
Legacy no dey measured by the chain or the car,
Na by the battles you survived and the man wey you are.
(Chorus)
Tears on the asphalt, stories never told,
From the cracks of the city where the nights get cold.
Hold on to your dreams, even when they fall,
We rise from the ashes, tears on the asphalt.
