[Intro]
First snowflake
Last paycheck
Whole block froze
We ain’t break yet (nah)
[Verse 1]
Steel spine, boots laced, that’s the daily
Call me Man of Concrete, born to break sleet
Breath fog, streets chalked white, feel the weight
Shovel in my fist like I’m swingin’ on fate
Hood up, scarf tight, knuckles all numb
Storm on the news, say the worst still come
Kids in the window, mama lookin’ scared
I ain’t scared of nothin’ but a neighbor unprepared
Salt in the bucket, gravel on the grip
Crunch in my step, ice crack, back flip
Whole block buried, I’m smilin’ at the pile
’Cause I move that mountain every quarter mile
[Chorus]
I’m the Man of Concrete in the snowfall (yeah)
Clear a whole driveway with one haul
Blizzard on the way, I still stand tall
If the city shut down, I’ma answer that call
I’m the Man of Concrete in the cold night
Turn a whiteout street into brake lights
If you stuck in the drift, then hold tight
’Cause I’m comin’ through heavy just to make it alright (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Snow kiss the beard, got frost on the brim
Backyard drifts tryin’ hard, I still win
Shoulders like forklifts, spine like rebar
Pushin’ that blade, make a path to they car
Old folk peepin’, “Can you hit our stairs?”
I just nod once, that’s a word, I’m there
Steel in my frame, but the heart still soft
So I dig one more line, clear a ramp to the loft
Storm front buildin’, clouds look mean
Sky all grey like a grayscale dream
Whole town whisper ’bout the inches to come
I just tighten up the gloves, let it numb my thumbs
[Chorus]
I’m the Man of Concrete in the snowfall
Clear a whole driveway with one haul
Blizzard on the way, I still stand tall
If the city shut down, I’ma answer that call
I’m the Man of Concrete in the cold night
Turn a whiteout street into brake lights
If you stuck in the drift, then hold tight
’Cause I’m comin’ through heavy just to make it alright
[Bridge]
They talk tough, but they sleep through the flurries (sleep)
I walk rough, cut a trail through the worry (trail)
If the sky drop tons, let it all unload
I was built for the weight and the winter road (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the Man of Concrete in the snowfall
Clear a whole driveway with one haul
Blizzard on the way, I still stand tall
If the city shut down, I’ma answer that call
I’m the Man of Concrete in the cold night
Turn a whiteout street into brake lights
If you stuck in the drift, then hold tight
’Cause I’m comin’ through heavy just to make it alright (concrete!)
