Block Warmth (wersja 2)

Verse

Sweat on my collarbone, steam off the curb

Blocks stay quiet till the streetlights swerve

Block warmth like a blanket on the stoop

Auntie's gumbo cookin', the whole street loop

I learn from the old men and the ones who got scars

How to keep your pockets full in the dark

Cement still cool in the cracks of my feet

City teach me to walk but it don't get my beat

Chorus

Block warmth, block warmth, that's how we stay warm in winter

Bodies against the block and a rhythm to remember

Block warmth, block warmth, the neighborhood holds us tight

In the dead of the night, we keep our hearts warm tonight

Verse 2

Old man's pipe smoke drifting, stories floating by

Kids laughin' on the corner, they don't know why

Grandma's kitchen light flickerin', like a lighthouse in space

We stay warm with the block, till the morning take its place

No alarm clock when you hear your neighbor hum

Whole street turns into one big happy drum

Concrete might get cold but our love stays hot

Block warmth got us through, even when it's not

Chorus

Block warmth, block warmth, that's how we stay warm in winter

Bodies against the block and a rhythm to remember

Block warmth, block warmth, the neighborhood holds us tight

In the dead of the night, we keep our hearts warm tonight
