Block Still Moving (Version 2)

Verse

Chain on the radiator, fog off the mirror

Someone's sneakers still taped to the floor

Corner store open after the block gone quiet

Same four guys in rotation, never lost what we started

Taped up my ankle but I ain't stop dancing

Streetlight flicker low like it counting down its time

Past midnight the shadows start to lengthen

Somebody keep playing though they lose their breath again

Pre-Chorus

How long we got left before the sirens come by

Nobody leaving till the block's still alive

Hold the wall, hold the wall, this ain't gonna die

Chorus

Block still moving after the lights go down

Block still moving when the city's on a roll

Everybody holding something to keep it loud

Block still moving like we got nowhere else to be

Block still moving after the lights go down

Block still moving after the lights go down

Verse

New pair of shoes sitting by the mailbox gate

Someone left them here before the party ran late

Radio crackle static underneath the speaker hum

Still somebody out there counting every second that's won

Rooftop window catching a slice of yellow light

I ain't never seen the block this still alive tonight

Pre-Chorus

How long we got left before the sirens come by

Nobody leaving till the block's still alive

Hold the wall, hold the wall, this ain't gonna die

Chorus

Block still moving after the lights go down

Block still moving when the city's on a roll

Everybody holding something to keep it loud

Block still moving like we got nowhere else to be

Block still moving after the lights go down

Block still moving after the lights go down

Bridge

Sunrise coming through the alley window blind

Somebody's mother already called, told him stay inside

I ain't got no name in print nobody gonna write

Just the block remembering how it keeps the light

Outro

Lights come up but we don't stop right away

Block still moving when the morning turns grey
