[Verse 1]
Skate deck slammed on the curb
Knuckles bleed through the tape
Teacher said "pick one lane"
I carved my name in the gate
Cheap dye burned my scalp
Buzz cut, scar on my cheek
Mom prays I learn to behave
I crank the volume and tweak
[Chorus]
I got static in my teeth
Bite the wire, feel it leak
Rap in my throat, punk in my feet
Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat
I got static in my teeth
Spit it out, it tastes like greed
Charge up, charge up, never sleep
Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Pit spins, elbows and sweat
Friends fly, nobody falls
Crowd surf over regret
Stage dive into the wall
Rent due, pockets all dust
Landlord barking my name
I turn the anger to rust
By screaming into the flame
[Chorus]
I got static in my teeth
Bite the wire, feel it leak
Rap in my throat, punk in my feet
Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat
I got static in my teeth
Spit it out, it tastes like greed
Charge up, charge up, never sleep
Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat (woah)
[Bridge]
Who said I gotta pick a side?
I flip the switch, I cross the lines
Ink on my hands, truth in my spit
If it feels wrong, then that’s my fit
[Chorus]
I got static in my teeth
Bite the wire, feel it leak
Rap in my throat, punk in my feet
Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat
I got static in my teeth
Spit it out, it tastes like greed
Charge up, charge up, never sleep
Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat
