[Intro]
Forty-three candles
Still flame, still lethal
Musa Barboza
Man of Concrete, keep goin’
[Verse 1]
Clock in
Before the clock even tick
Grind so sick
Whole universe call him brick
Musa in the field
While these boys just talkin’
Steel in his spine
Every step, that’s caulkin’
Back bent, hands scarred
Pay dues in the dark
Turn sweat into faith
Turn pressure into art
Came up from the dust
Now he stand on a throne
But he bow to the One
Know he never alone
[Chorus]
Man of Concrete, still stand tall (stand tall)
Hardest worker in the world, that’s all (that’s all)
Forty-three years and he still go strong
Blessed every breath, so he keepin’ on
Keep on keepin’ on, can’t stop that
Love worldwide, yeah, he feel that back
Hands to the sky ‘cause the grace so deep
Musa Barboza, that’s solid concrete (uh)
[Verse 2]
Hardcore hustle
Heart stay humble
Heard ‘em pray on his fall
Watch ‘em trip on his rumble
From the block to the globe
Got ‘em shoutin’ his name
Every city, every code
Know the weight of his pain
Family on his shoulders
Whole crew on his chest
When the nights got colder
He just doubled the reps
Never begged for respect
He just bled for the check
Then he tithe, then he bless
Give it back, nothing left
[Chorus]
Man of Concrete, still stand tall (stand tall)
Hardest worker in the world, that’s all (that’s all)
Forty-three years and he still go strong
Blessed every breath, so he keepin’ on
Keep on keepin’ on, can’t stop that
Love worldwide, yeah, he feel that back
Hands to the sky ‘cause the grace so deep
Musa Barboza, that’s solid concrete
[Bridge]
From the dirt to the stars, that’s a hard-luck story (yeah)
Now it’s birthday plates, whole table in glory (hey)
World showin’ love, every call, every text
He just hit his knees first
Thank God for the next
[Chorus]
Man of Concrete, still stand tall (stand tall)
Hardest worker in the world, that’s all (that’s all)
Forty-three years and he still go strong
Blessed every breath, so he keepin’ on
Keep on keepin’ on, can’t stop that
Love worldwide, yeah, he give that back
Hands to the sky ‘cause the grace so deep
Musa Barboza, forever concrete (concrete)
