Lyrics
Description
Yeah, 90 on the meter, boom, bap, heartbeat, neon, bodega Flicker, midnight, arm crack, subway tile
Hands on the crate, wind in the jacket, less wrath
First breath, alley surf, the city tastes like coal And hope I soil your hole, old mixtape in my pocket
Coffee stain on the fold, I hustle stories untold Corners through calculus, count the nights, count the fights, count the rhymes I sold
Neon deli sign blanks like a post, it′s gospel on the glass, I′m writing in bold
Mama said, boy, keep your shoulders warm, keep your head calm, I carry that gold
Rusted like your dreams, flopped out of schemes, but diamonds and sentences unfold I learned rhythm from the pavement, rims numb, subway drums smack the cold
Internal rhymes like train lines, which track double time, heavy loads Things that I fold on the floor, rest in truth, I folded paper cranes instead of little gold
Punchlines like pocket knives, cut through the static, slicing slow I′m playing verses in cracked concrete gardens
Watch grip grow from the corner store receipts to rooftop prayers I stitch the show, heartbeat syncopated to a boom-bap kick
Syllables stack like rhythm break, automated memoirs and bravado Grouped on scenes, not sold, it′s vinyl hits
Light bell in the shadow, vision in the chest we bend but never break
Light in the seam of night, this beat is what we take Roll the dice with the mic, every line is a state
Hold the breath and let go, watch the skyline wake
Ride the rhythm, feel that fire, heartbeats that we mine higher
One shot, one life, no rewind Ride the rhythm, take what′s mine
Bought a backpack full of syllables, passport stamped, ain′t written grind
Rooftop picture keep my tempo, wings beating like a metronome in time
I spit Kodak moments, alley flicker, bike bell, the sender′s chime
Punchline, paychecks, line notebooks, eastbound, out of rung, I climb
Bravo
