Rise With the Kick (Version 2)

Intro

Kick drops

Chest opens

Concrete holds what the streets forgot

Verse

Taxi rank light flickering slow

Grandmother's rhythm still in my toes

Floor stays warm where the feet have been

Heartbeat calling the old ones in

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel them climb through the tar

Chest to floor, they're never far

Bassline low, low like a vow

This is how we bring them now

Chorus

Rise with the kick

Rise with the kick

Bloodline moving through my hips

Rise with the kick

Verse

Warehouse roof and the city below

Sweat on skin where the old winds blow

Feet remember the road they made

I keep dancing so the debt gets paid

Chorus

Rise with the kick

Rise with the kick

Bloodline moving through my hips

Rise with the kick

Bridge

I am the drum they never got to play

Every skip of the kick keeps their names in play

Floor to my spine, spine to the sky

This body's the reason they never die

Chorus

Rise with the kick

Rise with the kick

Bloodline moving through my hips

Rise with the kick

Outro

Kick fades

Chest stays open

Floor still holds what the streets forgot
