Lyrics
[Intro]
Steel toes laced
Dust on my face
Clock in early
Leave when it’s late (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Red sunrise on the rebar
Steam from the ground in the cold dark
Hands split open, still no talk
We just line that frame and we pour rock
Rain on the slab, we shrug that
Bills in a stack, gotta crush that
Whole crew brothers in the hard hat
Every single bag on the back like a backpack
[Chorus]
Men of concrete, hardest worker (hey!)
Life hit rough, we push further
We do whatever it takes to get the job done
Every day heavy, still we get it done
Keep on keepin’ on, men of concrete
Back bent, sweat drip on the street
Yeah, life is hard, that’s why we do concrete
Stand in the dust, but we never know defeat
[Verse 2]
Lunch on the curb, just rice and salt
Laugh through the pain, that ain’t our fault
They see the tower, they see the floor
They don’t see the nights when our fingers tore
Old heads teachin’ the younger
Measure twice, cut once, kill hunger
Weather like war but we don’t run
We just set that form till the day done
[Bridge]
Cold wind cut, but my heart warm
We built this town from the gray storm
Ask why we grind? that’s our way
If it don’t hurt, then you didn’t earn pay (nah)
[Chorus]
Men of concrete, hardest worker (oh yeah)
Life hit rough, we push further
We do whatever it takes to get the job done
Every day heavy, still we get it done
Keep on keepin’ on, men of concrete
Back bent, sweat drip on the street
Yeah, life is hard, that’s why we do concrete
Stand in the dust, but we never know defeat
