[Intro]
Steel toes on the gravel (yeah)
Sun cut through the haze
Hard hat halo, sweat bandana
Clock in, raise the blade
[Verse 1]
Mud on my vest
Name tag scratched
Diesel on my breath
Whole crew matched
Turn that key
Big arm stretch
Earth gonna move
When my treads catch
Hook that chain
Make the ground shake
Whole hill crumble
In a day’s break
Yellow beast growl
Iron jaw bite
I don’t text back
I just shift sites
[Chorus]
Gravel in my veins
Concrete in my lungs
I was built from busted knuckles
Steel and heavy tons
If it shakes the ground
Then it speaks my name
On the edge of dust and danger
I was born for weight and flame
[Verse 2]
Back up beep
Warning in the dark
Flood lights flare
Like a scrapyard spark
Mastiff bark
From the flatbed gate
Load so thick
Make the frame vibrate
Tracks chew dirt
Like a war drum roll
Teeth hit rock
Then it splits, then fold
Rebar spine
Through the skeleton bones
Turn dead lots
Into tower zones
[Chorus]
Gravel in my veins
Concrete in my lungs
I was built from busted knuckles
Steel and heavy tons
If it shakes the ground
Then it speaks my name
On the edge of dust and danger
I was born for weight and flame
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Shovel bite
Bucket rise
Whole hill swallowed
Before your eyes
[harsh scream]
Dust in my throat
But I stay strapped in
I don’t choke (nah)
[Chorus]
