boom-bap rap, jazzy piano loop, vinyl crackle, confident storytelling flow
Intro
(Vinyl crackle pops)
Yeah, uh-huh.
One time for the soul.
Check it, look.
Verse 1
Concrete jungle but the keys stay smooth
Walking through the alley trying to find my groove
Jazzy piano loop spinning like a Ferris wheel
Keeping it 100, let me show you how I feel
I remember back in '98, the heaters in the hallway
Chasing dreams in the lobby, we was out there all day
Baggy jeans, oversized hoodie for the weather
Me and my brothers stitching memories together
Life is like a needle on a record, don't you skip it
Every scar is a lesson, yeah, you gotta live it
The rhythm of the city keeps the heartbeat steady
Ready for the world, yeah, I was born ready.
Chorus
It's that boom-bap, soul on the track
Looking at the future, never looking back
With the jazzy chords and the vinyl crackle hiss
Tell 'em put it on the map, it's a feeling you can't miss.
Yeah, it's that boom-bap, soul on the track.
Verse 2
Dusty crates, digging deep for the hidden gems
Flower in the pavement, growing past the stems
Storytelling king, I'm the narrator of the block
Time moving fast but I'm standing like a rock
Conversations on the stoop, wisdom in the smoke
Life is just a play and we're tired of the joke
So we flip the script, turn the struggle into art
Put the pen to the page, pour it straight from the heart
The snare hits sharp like a winter morning breeze
While the ivory tickles and the mind stays at ease
Authentic to the core, no fillers in the mix
Just the raw truth that the industry can't fix.
Chorus
It's that boom-bap, soul on the track
Looking at the future, never looking back
With the jazzy chords and the vinyl crackle hiss
Tell 'em put it on the map, it's a feeling you can't miss.
Yeah, it's that boom-bap, soul on the track.
Outro
Keep it moving.
Stay true to the craft.
New York state of mind.
Yeah...
(Piano fades out with vinyl crackle)
