[Intro]
Can't breathe in this concrete maze
Kreuzberg nights got me in a daze
Mask up, locked down, walls closing in
Where the f*ck do I even begin?
[Verse 1]
First breath was a fight, incubator life
Tubes down my throat, doctors with the knife
Now history repeats, but the whole city bleeds
Empty streets while my anxiety feeds
Nina dropped the tracks like poison in my lungs
Trust died quicker than the bells that never rung
Watching from my window as the hood transforms
Into ghost town shit, new f*cking norms
[Chorus]
We all gasping in this pressure chamber
Fighting for air while the system's got no favor
Streets suffocating, can't trust no savior
Breathing through the pain, becoming stranger
(Can't breathe, can't breathe)
In this concrete cage, we all slaves
To the invisible maze, these darker days
[Verse 2]
Turkish melodies float through empty blocks
While sirens wail and opportunity knocks
Remember when we used to run these streets?
Now we're all trapped in our own defeats
System's got us choked out, social distance
Breaking down connections, killing resistance
They say keep apart to stay alive
But isolation's got me barely surviving
[Bridge]
Oxygen debt, emotional death
Every connection feels like crystal meth
Quick fix comfort in a digital space
While reality's slipping, leaving no trace
[Verse 3]
Memories of machines keeping me alive
Now the whole city's hooked up just to survive
Nina's betrayal left me gasping for air
Creative flow choked out, nobody there
But I'm still breathing through these constraints
Playing their game but breaking their restraints
Urban warrior in a pandemic haze
Finding my rhythm in these darker days
[Chorus]
We all gasping in this pressure chamber
Fighting for air while the system's got no favor
Streets suffocating, can't trust no savior
Breathing through the pain, becoming stranger
(Can't breathe, can't breathe)
In this concrete cage, we all slaves
To the invisible maze, these darker days
[Outro]
Still breathing, still fighting
Through the darkness, still writing
Kreuzberg nights in my veins
Till this pressure breaks these chains
