Lil Tench

[Intro]
Yellow vest on
steel toe shoes
Hard hat low
same old crew (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Trench line deep
chalk on the curb
Track hoe swing
bucket just swerve
Foreman yellin’
“Watch that drop!”
Mud on my jeans
but the line don’t stop
Pipe on the chain
tag-line tight
Sun beat down
we still alright
Sweat on my brow
boots in the slime
Union card tucked
on company time
[Chorus]
Give me that lil tench
(lil tench, hey)
Just a lil tench
(lil tench, yeah)
Put a lil tension on the cable
lemme line this up, I’m stable
Give me that lil tench
(lil tench, hey)
Just a lil tench
don’t pull too much
I’m down in the cut
tryna make this fit, that’s us
[Verse 2]
Six-foot manhole
rings in a stack
Flag man wave
truck beep back
Straps snug tight
signal man talkin’
One wrong move
whole day stoppin’
“Easy on the stick, bro
hold that there”
Laser on grade
we square
I tap that pipe
“Up an inch”
He nod one time
give a lil tench
[Chorus]
Give me that lil tench
(lil tench, hey)
Just a lil tench
(lil tench, yeah)
Put a lil tension on the cable
lemme twist this joint, I’m able
Give me that lil tench
(lil tench, hey)
Just a lil tench
don’t yank too hard
I’m down in the yard
makin’ sure it seats real sharp
[Bridge]
We lift
we set
we dig
we sweat
Gravel in my socks
paycheck on deck
Concrete pour
sun gettin’ low
But the line stay straight
that’s how it go
[Chorus]
Give me that lil tench
(lil tench, hey)
Just a lil tench
(lil tench, yeah)
Put a lil tension on the cable
lemme line this bell, I’m stable
Give me that lil tench
(lil tench, hey)
Just a lil tench
crew stand tough
From the trench to the check
we up

rap, Sparse, dusty boom-bap with a gritty construction-site ambience; male vocals riding a swung pocket over chunky kick-snare, subby bass, and chopped horn stabs. Verses stay close and conversational, light tape hiss and worksite Foley tucked low. Hook widens with stacked call-and-response chants, extra percussion hits, and a slightly distorted hype double to make “lil tench” feel like a crew anthem.
