From the recording Concrete
Lyrics
they all told me
i’d never make it here
“you’ll come crawling back
within the year”
not so many trees here
no roots pulling me down
i wonder what they would say
if they saw me now
cause i got out of there
as quick as i could
little do they know
i’m gone for good
for good
suffocating in that small town
now my lungs are taking in the breeze
and this jungle’s made of concrete
but i still feel so free
those lions wearing lettermans
yeah they were eating me alive
but the vultures can’t get me now
there’s no need to hide
in this jungle of concrete
concrete
i can be whoever i want
make people see what i want em to see
change my name change my hair my clothes
live anonymously
cause i made my way here
as quick as i could
little do they know
i’m here for good
for good
suffocating in that small town
now my lungs are taking in the breeze
and this jungles made of concrete
but i still feel so free
those lions wearing lettermans
yeah they were eating me alive
but the vultures can’t get me now
there’s no need to hide
in this jungle of concrete
concrete
lions wearing lettermans
jaguars driving jeeps
tigers who would tear your heart out for some tiffany
oh i was
suffocating in that small town
now my lungs are taking in the breeze
and this jungles made of concrete
but i still feel so free
those lions wearing lettermans
yeah they were eating me alive
but the vultures can’t get me now
there’s no need to hide
in this jungle of concrete
concrete
needed something concrete
concrete
