Pavement shake when the kick land here

Intro

Steam off the vent

Boots on cement

Turn the siren down

Let the soles hit the ground

Verse

Steam from the grate, yellow cab on the curb

Rubber on the stone, got the corner getting blurred

Siren down the avenue, crying at the brick

My pulse got a meter and it's clicking double quick (quick)

Three-twenty-one on the digital sign

Kicking up the grit on the yellow transit line

Shoulder check the shadow where the alleyway bend

Ribcage rattling, rattle it again (again)

Sweat under nylon, zipper to the chin

City talk loud but the rhythm settle in

Heel hit concrete, echo down the hall

Writing out the message with a knuckle to the wall (wall)

Subway underfoot like a motor in the dirt

Feel it in the collar, feel it in the shirt

Headlights flash, red paint on the chrome

My shins know the count and they walking us home (home)

Chorus

Through the noise, through the noise, watch the body cut clear

Pavement shake when the kick land here

Through the noise, through the noise, let the static divide

Every single bone got a speaker inside

Verse

Broken glass singing like a tambourine ring

Chain link rattling, electric wire swing

Two-dollar lighter flicking spark in the air

Neon buzz hot on the grease in my hair (hair)

Block full of chatter, radios clash

Heavy iron shutter coming down with a crash

Tense on the strip where the cruisers roll slow

Hips keep the cadence, ready for the go (go)

Tire skid sideways, horn in the dark

My lungs take the diesel and I spit it like a spark

El train screaming on the high rail track

Stomp to the shudder till it shudders right back (back)

Cold wind biting at the gap in my sleeve

Nothing in the concrete telling me to leave

Ankles locked in, snap when the rhythm jump

Tell the whole avenue we live on the thump (thump)

Chorus

Through the noise, through the noise, watch the body cut clear

Pavement shake when the kick land here

Through the noise, through the noise, let the static divide

Every single bone got a speaker inside

Bridge

Hold it in the throat, let the iron drop down

Every traffic light blinking amber at the town

Feet don't stutter on a fractured stone

Turn a siren wail to a microphone (phone)

Bass hit the gut, no room to retreat

Blood got an engine that can outrun the street

Feel the grid hum from the scalp to the toes

Push through the static everywhere that it goes (goes)

Outro

Through the noise (clear)

Through the noise (here)

Watch the body cut clear

Hit the curb, hit the line

Every single bone on time

Through the noise
