## Lyrics
[verse]
City lights are burning like a live wire tonight
Sirens singing somewhere past the neon light
Every corner's got a story running fast
Nobody's slowing down, nothing built to last

[verse]
Sweat and shadows dancing on the boulevard
Everybody's hustling, everybody's playing hard
The clock is ticking louder than the radio
Feel the pressure building like an undertow

[chorus]
The heat is on, the heat is on tonight
Nothing's gonna cool this city down till the light
The heat is on, running through the street
Living on the edge to the pulse and the beat

[verse]
Every alley's got a rhythm of its own
Every hustler's chasing something they call home
The pressure's rising, but I won't back down
I was built to handle everything this town throws down

[chorus]
The heat is on, the heat is on tonight
Nothing's gonna cool this city down till the light
The heat is on, running through the street
Living on the edge to the pulse and the beat

[bridge]
No time to hesitate, no time to stall
This city never stops, it swallows one and all
But I've got fire of my own to match the blaze
I'm running with the heat, not lost in the haze

[chorus]
The heat is on, the heat is on tonight
Nothing's gonna cool this city down till the light
The heat is on, running through the street
Living on the edge to the pulse and the beat
