lirik lagu jungle emcee - powder in the pavement
[verse 1]
narcotic nightfall, neon~lit chapels
plastic bag sermons in alleyway battles
capsule dreams in sachet schemes
kids hit lean, skip sleep for bad themes
cough syrup sermons in tiktok loops
dope in the dosa, truth in the soup
cheap highs creep through academic sheets
while priests preach peace, but the powder repeats
from punjab plains to mumbai trains
youth numb pain in the monsoon rain
parents play blind, blame western signs
but the chemist knows names and the pharmacist grinds
skull thuds silent in hostel rooms
snortin’ spores from imported fumes
cornered by culture, pressure, pride
so they slide inside where the silence hides
[hook]
powder in the pavement, dreams in the drain
youth on a leash made of novocaine
smoke screen lives in the age of fame
but the high got a price, and it ain’t just shame
powder in the pavement, truth in the trap
chasing that hit till the whole scene snap
minds getting mapped by a needle and cap
reality slipped in a single relapse
[verse 2]
stacked pills in a tiffin box
poppin’ while the cricket talks
laced tabs in a schoolyard bag
caught in the matrix, no red flag
doomed dopamine, dim~lit dopamine
woke on a slope, slipped in ketamine
family tree got fungal roots
one snort split it like disputed truths
watch ‘em scroll past stats and slums
kids smoke hope till the conscience numb
shanti in name, but the brain’s in war
ayurveda lost in a bloodied drawer
hooked on lyrics that glorify death
thinkin’ oxy’s holy like a guru’s breath
but the highs ain’t heaven when it burns your chest
and the lows hit harder than a heartbreak text
[bridge]
silence speaks louder than screams in rehab
but the dealers still dance in a three~piece trap
truth in the trenches, lies in ads
sold like brands in influencer tags
[verse 3]
check the census, overdose tension
every gen lost gets posthumous mentions
slang spreads faster than wi~fi packs
and the fix come free with a six~pack snack
they ain’t junkies — they products of pressure
tests, tutors, trauma — pain can’t measure
parents want doctors, kids want peace
so they press on pills till the voices cease
don’t blame youth — blame the blueprint burnt
when a nation forgets what its children learned
from pharma greed to societal seed
it’s a war with no guns, but the wounds still bleed
