Yassir Al-Nour - Corner Store Fever Lyrics

[Intro]
Lighter flicks in the darkness, habibi
Corner store lights flickering like stars
4 AM in Medina, yeah, we living free
Between shadows and neon scars

[Verse 1]
Rolling deep past the metal gates
Bikes revving up, we don't hesitate
Got that corner store fever in my veins
Where the streets know all our names
Pocket full of dirham, head full of dreams
Life ain't what it seems, but we make it gleam
Between the shelves and cigarette schemes
Young kings plotting on how to be seen

[Chorus]
Corner store fever, we stay up all night
Hustling under fluorescent light
Corner store fever, we're breaking free
In these streets of Hay Mohammadi
(Ay, ay, ay, habibi let it play)
Where dreams and reality fade away

[Verse 2]
Speakers bumping Arabic trap
While we count coins on the corner map
Vendor selling dreams for cheap
While the muezzin's call makes the city weep
Got that hunger in my soul
Playing chess with fate, trying to reach my goals
Streets taught me more than schools ever could
Making something sweet out of this neighborhood

[Bridge]
Between the aisles of what could be
Young hearts beating wild and free
Where every night tells a different story
In this concrete kingdom of glory

[Chorus]
Corner store fever, we stay up all night
Hustling under fluorescent light
Corner store fever, we're breaking free
In these streets of Hay Mohammadi
(Ay, ay, ay, habibi let it play)
Where dreams and reality fade away

[Outro]
Dawn breaking over shuttered dreams
But we'll be back when the city sleeps
Corner store fever never dies
In these streets where hustlers rise
