Air Heavy

Short breaths.

Coughing. Slow

days.

Engines choke the air we breathe

Tailpipes spit out smoke you can’t see

Tiny bits: metal dust,

acid rain

Pollutants that don’t play fair

Not just clouds in the sky,

but inside your chest

Where lungs grow tight,

where hearts get stressed

Air

heavy!

Air heavy! From engines loud,

it lingers deep

Tiny sparks from every block They grind your lungs,

they strain your sleep

Asthma flare? Heart strain slow?

Shorter breaths, weaker days below?

This isn’t just a distant cloud It’s in your blood,

it’s in your crowd!

PM two-point-five,

fine specks like ash

Slip past your nose,

settle in the pass

Triggers wheeze, worsens every strain

Makes asthma worse, slows recovery gain

NOx and ozone twist the air Turn simple steps into labor there

Kids with lungs still learning to fly

Adults feel it too:

chest tight

Now in your blood,

how you work and rest

We

don’t need blame, we need roots

Clean air starts where engines could be cut

Shift to bikes, walk,

or trains that run quiet Support cleaner power,

make the streets feel right Your breath is your rhythm,

your strength, your song

Air heavy!

Feel it now? Your body says: this is too much!

Tiny sparks from every block They grind your lungs,

they strain your sleep

Asthma flare?

Heart strain slow?

Shorter breaths, weaker days below?

This isn’t just a distant cloud It’s in your blood,

it’s in your crowd Air heavy!

Don't let the smoke win Protect the beat where you belong!

Engines quiet.

Air lifts.

One breath easier.

One step further.

Your health is the beat that never quits.
