[Verse]
Alarm still evil
Sky still black
Thermos full diesel breath
Dust on the dash
Hard hat halo crooked
Steel toe sag
Men of Concrete moving
Whole earth dragged
[Chorus]
We the Men of Concrete
Wake up early, leave late
Boots cooked on them shining slabs
Till they burn our boots, we bake
We the Men of Concrete
Pour that gray, then pray it take
From the dirt to the cure to the smooth glass floor
We the hardest in the whole landscape
[Verse 2]
Chalk line scripture
Forms all caged
Rebar ribs in the skeleton
Tie wire frayed
Mud truck drum spin heavy
Heart rate same
We baptize steel in slurry
Tag our name
[Bridge]
Who gon’ grind that float till it hum
When the sun got teeth and it chew through lungs
Who gon’ edge them corners razor clean
Turn a bare red field to a boss man dream
[Chorus]
We the Men of Concrete
Wake up early, leave late
Sweat falling in the fresh wet pour
Every footprint stomped erased
We the Men of Concrete
Hard hat crown, no capes
From the first cold mix to the last smooth pass
We the hardest in the whole landscape
