[Intro]
(Count-in: 1-2, slap bass, tight snare, muted guitar stabs)
Clap—snap—drop. Horn stab. Groove locks in.
[Verse 1]
Blackout nights, city hum, heartbeat on the blink,
Cold sidewalks, bruised knees, chasing paychecks and ink.
Cracked mirror mornings, deadlines at the door,
Heartache on the subway, but we still want more.
Step, slide, pop—short breath, steady feet,
Every bruise a beat, every loss a heat.
[Pre-Chorus 1 — Resilient]
Bassline low, we push, we grind,
Turn coal to streetlight, light the midnight grind.
Short breaths, long hopes, steady on the rise,
We rally, we ready — fire in our eyes.
[Chorus]
Dance it out! (Dance it out!)
Move that funk, lift the night, feel the shout.
Dance it out! (Dance it out!)
Groove on, rise on, shake the doubt.
Life hits hard — we hit back hard, stomp and shout,
Dance it out! — Groove past the scars, turn them loud.
[Verse 2]
Black coffee dawns, broken phone, missed trains,
Cold wind on the corner, rain on windowpanes.
Late notices, small wars, lonely kitchen lights,
But we flip the script — neon on the nights.
Step, swerve, clap—short fire, bright flare,
We spin cracks into glitter underneath the glare.
[Pre-Chorus 2 — Defiant Celebration]
Bassline climbs, we grin, we glide,
We spin the script — make the city our ride.
Punch the air, snap the seams, laughter on the rise,
We dance past the deadlines, crown the compromise.
[Chorus — Hooked]
Dance it out! (Dance it out!)
One-two—pop—stomp—move, feel that shout.
Dance it out! (Dance it out!)
Groove on, rise on — stand proud, get loud.
Life’s a jungle of potholes, blackout nights and calls,
We moonwalk over pitfalls, keep the rhythm tall.
[Instrumental Break]
(Short: 8 bars — slap bass solo / tight guitar lick / horn answer — 4-bar groove drop, then build)
[Bridge — Quiet Breakdown / Call & Response]
(Strip back: soft hi-hat, whispered guitar, low horn humm)
Call: Who’s left when the lights all dim?
Response: We are — we move, we spin.
Call: Who stands when the world shakes loose?
Response: We are — we turn cracks to juice.
(Gradual build: add claps, snare rim, horns layer)
Whisper chant: “Dance it out — dance it out” (repeat, growing)
[Build / Modulate]
(Hands up — key steps up, horns hit hard, snare snaps)
Count it up — one, two — throw your weight — now fly.
[Final Chorus — Big]
Dance it out! (Dance it out!)
Punch it sharp — short words, big heart, bright shout.
Dance it out! (Dance it out!)
Groove on, rise on — burn the doubt.
From blackout nights to front‑page lights, we sway and stand tall,
Dance it out! — Turn coal to streetlight — we claim it all.
[Outro]
(Short vamp: horns on the offbeat, slap bass pocket, claps)
Dance it out — one last time, spin the scars to gold,
Groove on, rise on — this funky story told.
(End on horns, final clap, record-scratch tag)
