{vinyl crackle
and dust} Yeah, yeah Turn the headphones up a little bit {scratched
vocal sample} Check, check {boomy
808 sub-bass drops in} Concrete canvas where the stories unfold Another block,
another chapter, truths untold We count the steps on the cracked pavement
strip No shortcuts taken on this lifelong trip Keep the pocket steady
while the bassline rides
We find the rhythm where the heartbeat hides This is the rhythm
of the brick and stone (that's right) We build our empires on
what we own (gimme that beat)
No silver spoons, just a pen and a mic
Living out the stories that we actually like
{scratched hook} I paint a picture with the words I choose
Nothing to gain and not a thing to lose Just classic syntax
on a raw drum loop
Gathering the family inside the loop
We keep it moving past the corner store sign Writing down history
one single line
This is the rhythm of the brick and stone (yeah) We build
our empires on what we own (uh-huh)
No silver spoons, just a pen and a mic
Living out the stories that we actually like
{scratched hook with delay} {drums slowly filter out} Yeah,
old school mentality
From the ground up
{turntable backspin} We out {vinyl static fades
to silence}
