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.
