Step Steadier (feat. Fox)

SOUTH

Tango sur la mer (Prod  Joef)

[Verse]

Brick dust in the lungs, coughin' out a symphony,

Streets wrote the script, ain't no room for sympathy.

Pavement's a canvas, spray cans orchestrate,

Crumblin' walls hold secrets time can't translate.



Grimy alleys hum tunes of survival,

Each crack a story, chapters primal.

Sewer caps steaming, city’s breath exhaled,

Dreams ride the subway, some dreams derailed.



[Chorus]

Concrete echoes, beats in the cracks,

Heart of the city where the rhythm attacks.

Step to the sound, feel the pulse in your bones,

Concrete echoes, we claim what we own.



[Verse 2]

Chain-link fences frame the urban ballet,

Where shadows pirouette 'til the break of day.

Bulbs flicker Morse code, sending the vibe,

Late-night confessions where the lost souls tribe.



Steel staircases spiral up to the stars,

Graffiti constellations painted on subway cars.

City don’t sleep, she just blinks and stares,

Through the haze of the block, dreams tangle in prayers.



[Chorus]

Concrete echoes, beats in the cracks,

Heart of the city where the rhythm attacks.

Step to the sound, feel the pulse in your bones,

Concrete echoes, we claim what we own.

Concrete Echoes

An ultra-funky track conceptually inspired, in part, by the overpopulated streets of Cairo, Egypt.  To deliver verses over this super-cool, bouncy groove, I attempted to channel the Rap attitude of classic, smart-aleck MC's like 'Casual', 'Slick Rick', 'Special Ed', 'Kwame' and 'Grand Puba' who, like gentlemen, slapped competition across the face with expensive, leather, driving gloves.
