Intro
Check the grid
Two past two
Drop the low
Let it hit
Verse
Two past two on the corner grid
Bassline blowing off the manhole lid (lid)
Rubber on the curb when the tempo hit
Ten toes planted where the sidewalk split
Collarbone shining in the sodium glow
Ankles popping on the eight-o-eight low (low)
Rib cage drumming to the underground hum
Tongue like a snare when the cadence come
Fishtail shadow on a shuttered gate
Spit that heat to the license plate (plate)
Sweat down the temple to the collar strap
Knees don't question where the rhythm map
Shins keep locked to the double-time snap
City got a wire and the wire gonna snap
Tires on the gravel and the heel stay clicked
Catch that meter when the clock hand ticked
Chorus
Drop low, tap the pavement quicker (quick)
Bop till the block lights flicker
Chest bounce, make the kick drum thicker (thick)
Bop till the block lights flicker
Left foot, right foot, pull that trigger
Bop till the block lights flicker
Cold steam rising and the pulse get bigger
Bop till the block lights flicker
Verse
Four a.m. vapor on the deli glass
Speakers in the alley shaking down the brass (brass)
Yellow curb scuffed by the sneaker tread
Wires overhead humming copper and red
Hip swing sharp like a scissor through the heat
Shockwave running from the knuckle to the feet (feet)
No dead weight when the sub drops raw
Body got a code and it break that law
Grease-trap rhythm in the corner store lane
Sweat in the eyelashes, sweet like rain (rain)
Shoulders rolling on a thirty-two count
Never hit the bench, let the pressure mount
Pavement stinging through the flat thin sole
Everything clicking when the kick takes hold (hold)
Street sign buzzing in an amber haze
Turn that concrete into a maze
Chorus
Drop low, tap the pavement quicker (quick)
Bop till the block lights flicker
Chest bounce, make the kick drum thicker (thick)
Bop till the block lights flicker
Left foot, right foot, pull that trigger
Bop till the block lights flicker
Cold steam rising and the pulse get bigger
Bop till the block lights flicker
Bridge
Cut the hi-hat, leave the pulse in the bone (bone)
Spine like a wire to a megaphone
Every cold curb is a stepping stone
Heavy bass vibrating all alone
Now double up the clap, make the asphalt shake
Every single tendon in the arch awake (wake)
Amber to the gray, sky turning pale
Never let the friction on the floor derail
Outro
Flicker on the corner (flicker)
Flicker on the block (block)
Sodium buzzing
Asphalt hot
Freeze
