Song Lyrics:

Verse:
[C]I walk these streets, my [G]dreams beneath my feet,
[Am]Under the city [Em]lights, in the [D]shadow of defeat.
[C]Our souls are worn, our [G]hearts have been torn,
[Am]But in the darkness, [Em]a new hope is [D]born.

Chorus:
[F]Concrete dreams and [C]neon skies,
[G]In our hearts, the [Am]spirit never dies.
[F]We are the echoes of the [C]street,
[G]Original Specialists, [Am]undefeated, never beat.

Verse:
The [C]noise is loud, the [G]crowd is proud,
[Am]We play our music, [Em]bold and [D]unbowed.
[C]Our sound is raw, it’s [G]what we live for,
[Am]Original Specialist, forever [Em]we soar.

Chorus:
[F]Concrete dreams and [C]neon skies,
[G]In our hearts, the [Am]spirit never dies.
[F]We’re the echoes of the [C]street,
[G]Original Specialists, [Am]undefeated, never beat.
