Cement Crown (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Pavement got a pulse in my veins

Bassline bleeding out through the drains

I ain't never leaving this ground till it's gold

Dust on the cobblestones turning to oil

Heels hit the curb like a drum line going slow

Sweat mixing with city smoke, nobody says no

My shadow's dancing across the streetlamp glow

Concrete got some kind of magic that only comes out in these hours we don't own

Pre-Chorus

Sun starting to lift up above the block

We still moving like the whole night is locked

Hold me down, hold me down till the sun come through

Tell the morning it ain't touching us yet, boo

Chorus

Cement crown on my head tonight

Pavement's got a pulse that don't quit

I'm dancing in dust where we used to fight

City never sleeps when I'm feeling right

Cement crown on my head tonight

Rise up with the streetlights, stay warm till daylight

Verse

Neon bleeding into orange above us

Last cup turned over, still got a little juice left

I'm running out of breath but not running out yet

Sunlight bleeding through the alley where we used to set

Copper wire humming in my chest like it know what's next

Every single brick in this block saying I don't forget

Pre-Chorus

Sun starting to lift up above the block

We still moving like the whole night is locked

Hold me down, hold me down till the sun come through

Tell the morning it ain't touching us yet, boo

Chorus

Cement crown on my head tonight

Pavement's got a pulse that don't quit

I'm dancing in dust where we used to fight

City never sleeps when I'm feeling right

Cement crown on my head tonight

Rise up with the streetlights, stay warm till daylight

Bridge

Let the sun come slow across the curbstone line

We keep moving till our shadows disappear from this place

I know every inch of these streets like the back of my hand

This is where we make the rules that don't exist anywhere else in the land

Hold me down, one more time before it's gone

Hold me down like the whole night never went

Chorus

Cement crown on my head tonight

Pavement's got a pulse that don't quit

I'm dancing in dust where we used to fight

City never sleeps when I'm feeling right

Cement crown on my head tonight

Rise up with the streetlights, stay warm till daylight

Outro

Sun come up slow across the block

Still moving like I got something left to lock

Concrete got a hold of me that never lets go

Cement crown, cement crown, watch it glow
