Verse
Rooftop concrete, warm through my soles
Taxi rank glow paints the wall gold
Bassline climbs up through the pipes
Same heartbeat my grandfather told
Streetlight scatters like fine red sand
Falling soft on lifted hands
Every step stirs up the ground
Old feet moving where I stand
Pre-Chorus
Feel them rise up off the tar
Feel them ride the strobe like stars
Skin remembers what the drum remembers
Close but far
Chorus
Ancestors under neon dust
Ancestors under neon dust
Dancing where the light meets us
Ancestors under neon dust
Verse
Warehouse windows, broken glow
Shadows move where the speakers throw
Grandmother's rhythm in my hip
Never left, I just didn't know
Sirens hum beneath the bass
Township lights on my face
Every crowd becomes a circle
Holding what won't erase
Pre-Chorus
Feel them rise up off the tar
Feel them ride the strobe like stars
Skin remembers what the drum remembers
Close but far
Chorus
Ancestors under neon dust
Ancestors under neon dust
Dancing where the light meets us
Ancestors under neon dust
Bridge
Not ghosts, it's rhythm
Not gone, it's grown
Every hand that ever moved here
Living on in bone
The city keeps their footprints
Under every flickering sign
Every beat that lifts this rooftop
Pulls them back to mine
Chorus
Ancestors under neon dust
Ancestors under neon dust
Dancing where the light meets us
Ancestors under neon dust
