Heels on the pavement, skip that trigger

Intro

Snap and roll. (Roll)

Watch the wire buzz. (Buzz)

Palisade in the pocket.

Drop it on the curb. (Drop it)

Verse 1

Curb cold, rubber on the asphalt hum (hum)

Four-ten, waiting on the trap-kick drum (drum)

Yellow neon dripping down a cracked storefront

Collar soaking wet, I take the beat upfront

Left hip ticking like a cheap stopwatch (watch)

Right heel clicking when the snare hits notch (notch)

Steam out the manhole, heat in the shins

Subwoofer rattled where the concrete thins

Cable in the pole got a low buzz tone

Spine like an antenna, marrow in the bone (bone)

Static in the air, twenty toes on zinc

Shoulder blade twitching every time they blink

Corner store shutter half-drawn to the knee

Meter box shaking at a buck-twenty-three (three)

Lock into the grid, let the tempo run thick

Tongue on the tooth, watch the timing go click (click)

Chorus

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Bass hit heavy, make the blood run thicker (thicker)

Heels on the pavement, skip that trigger

Step, tap, bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Step, tap, bop till the block lights flicker

Verse 2

Halogen hum on the hood of a cab (cab)

Shadow on the stucco like an ink-jet dab

Ribcage rattle with the five-inch cone

Never went inside, made the street my throne (throne)

Sweat on the jawline, silver in the teeth

Friction on the sole, friction underneath

Two-step tight where the paint peeled back

Knuckles on the brick keeping count on track (track)

Ankle got a snap like a split broomstick

Pocket never slack when the kick hits quick (quick)

City power humming through a five-wire line

Calf muscle knotted into iron design

Gray sky peeling back the velvet blue

Every single joint doing what it came to do (do)

Grate blowing warm on the hem of the coat

Eight-oh-eight knocking in the hollow of the throat (throat)

Chorus

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Bass hit heavy, make the blood run thicker (thicker)

Heels on the pavement, skip that trigger

Step, tap, bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Step, tap, bop till the block lights flicker

Bridge

Current in the iron, current in the wire (wire)

Body don't sleep and the body don't tire

Sodium goes purple, sodium goes pale

Catch another bar on the third stair rail (rail)

One flick. Two flick. Buzz in the glass.

Hold that stance till the amber pass.

Zero to the sunrise, nothing in between

Living like a piston in a loud machine (loud)

Outro

Flicker on the lamp. (Flicker)

Flicker on the post. (Post)

Pavement humming where we hit it the most.

Bop till the buzz cut out. (Cut out)

Bop till the buzz cut out.

Step. Tap. Done.
