Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Steel toes on the gravel Dust in my throat, no sound Grey sky, cold frame I’m the one holding this ground Solo in the dawn light Truck lights fade behind me Life took what it wanted Left this trowel to define me Wheelbarrow, wet load Arms burn, back sore But I level out the chaos Make a flat floor from a war [Chorus] Life is hard, that is why we do concrete Keep on keepin’ on, grindin’ in the raw heat Pull up the wire, throw the magic powder on Stamping concrete signatures upon our world, then we’re gone Life is hard, that is why we do concrete Every scar in the slab where my heart beat Boot prints fading as the daylight swirls Stamping concrete signatures upon our world [Verse 2] Tape line, chalk snap Rebar like a spine set straight Pour slow, no gaps Every inch fights back with weight Trowel glide, edge clean Rain check, time still ticks Lonely on this job site Just a man and a mix They left, I stayed In the echo and the dust If this sets right Then it proves I was enough [Chorus] Life is hard, that is why we do concrete Keep on keepin’ on, grindin’ in the raw heat Pull up the wire, throw the magic powder on Stamping concrete signatures upon our world, then we’re gone Life is hard, that is why we do concrete Every scar in the slab where my heart beat Boot prints fading as the daylight swirls Stamping concrete signatures upon our world (keep on, keep on)
