[Verse 1]
Crack of dawn, the boots hit the gravel, no snooze
Pour the mix, sweat drips, no time to lose
Shovel's the scepter, the slab’s our throne
Hands so rough, feel like they carved from stone
Steel toes dance on rebar grids,
Grinding the hours, ain’t no bids for kids
The burn in the boots, soles screamin’ in pain
But we smooth the surface, shine it like champagne
[Chorus]
Men of Concrete, the grind don’t sleep
Pourin’ our soul in every slab we keep
We smooth the rough, we build the dream
Men of Concrete, harder than it seems
[Verse 2]
The sun’s a bully, beatin’ down on my neck
My trowel’s my weapon, I’m cashin’ these checks
Calloused palms tell a story of pride
Concrete rivers flow, we control the tide
Rulers of the slabs, our kingdom is gray
Blueprint prophets, makin’ castles from clay
Time clock whispers, "go home," we refuse
We stay 'til the stars, in these work-torn shoes
[Bridge]
The grind don't pause, no silver spoon
Tougher than the slabs we smooth by noon
Mix it, pour it, level it out
Concrete kings, no room for doubt
