Pound the Concrete Floor (versión 2)

Verse 1

City lights cut when the subway's still dark

Concrete floor holds what the streets left bare

Every window's a version of me that didn't scar

But down here the rhythm don't care about my name

I used to hide behind the fourth bus line

Now I'm standing where they said I won't survive

Every face in this tunnel is mine, but not one time

Did I lose something or find what I came for?

Pre-Chorus

Tell me if you feel it pulling us down low

Say the name of something we can still control

Chorus

We're under the street light now, pounding the concrete floor

Nothing left to lose but everything we've been waiting for

So let the bass line pull us where we want to go

We are the rhythm that this city never knew

Verse 2

Mama's basement used to be my only door

Now I'm building bridges out of every stair

Some nights feel like running, some feel like more

Every step is a reason why they said I wouldn't climb there

The block got quiet when the sirens stopped ringing

But we're still screaming something underneath our skin

I used to pray for daylight, now I'm waiting on singing

Something in this low end tells me how it's all gonna begin

Pre-Chorus

Tell me if you feel it pulling us down low

Say the name of something we can still control

Chorus

We're under the street light now, pounding the concrete floor

Nothing left to lose but everything we've been waiting for

So let the bass line pull us where we want to go

We are the rhythm that this city never knew

Bridge

Maybe I'm not fighting what they said was lost

Maybe I just found something they couldn't hear

Every brick up here got my name written in the cost

But down here it's just one heartbeat and nothing to fear

Chorus

We're under the street light now, pounding the concrete floor

Nothing left to lose but everything we've been waiting for

So let the bass line pull us where we want to go

We are the rhythm that this city never knew
