Lyrics
Description
Subway screech chorus — soundtrack for stages
City of embers, we're glowed in the blackout City of embers, we light when the lights go
out
Corner store bell, late-night deli, cold call me steam
Broken lamppost flicker, my past plays on the scene
Southbridge yawn lines, silhouettes like memory chains
Now the stop signs, tally losses, tally gains
Mrs. Rivera on the stoop, clutching 3rd-store prayer beads
Kids kick dust on the stoop, practicing bigotries
A cab backfires like a beat drop in midnight
My jacket's stiff, but my pulse is a highlight
Multisyllabic margins, pencil marks on the plan
Pocket lint savers, blueprints, gauze in my hand
A hustle on a stoop, spit truth in three-line verse
Say less, do more, watch the city rehearse
Punchline, my hundred-oath symphonies on takeout boxes
I turn cardboard kingdoms into keys for unlocked boxes
City of embers, we're glowed in the blackout
City of embers, we light when the lights go out
City of embers, we're glowed in the blackout
City of embers, we light when the lights go out
Triplet, triplet, hi-hat snap on the pavement
808 heart, chest thump like an abatement
I paint verses on a whale car, graffiti-laced pages
Subway streets, chorus, soundtrack for stages
Name drop, midnight at Ben and 3rd, corner stoic and raw
Roll up, tuck in my doubts, lace up the jaw
My flow's a locksmith, a mock in the blackout door
Syllable gymnastics, triple rhyme encore
Line after line, tighten like a vice grip
No slack in the strap, every metric's precise
Fifth punchline, I traded a bedtime for a headline
Now headline, tradeback, tryna buy me a skyline
But I keep the ember, nothing me on that fizzles
I write exits on receipts, Mack routes past the drizzle
City of embers
City of embers
City of embers
City of embers, we glow
City of embers, we light when the lights go out
