[Chorus]
Men of Concrete
boots in the mud, no cheat
We do whatever it takes
heart on rebar, no breaks
Life is hard, that’s why
that’s why we do concrete
[Verse]
Keep on keepin on, cracked knuckles
dust lungs, rust duffels
World on my back, steel cable
bent halo, broke table
Teaching while we learning lessons
every pour, confession
[Chorus]
Men of Concrete
boots in the mud, no cheat
We do whatever it takes
heart on rebar, no breaks
Life is hard, that’s why
that’s why we do concrete
[Verse 2]
Sun cut deep in my neck skin
pay stub thin, still flex grin
Gravel in my prayer, I curse then bless
fail test, still progress
Stack those forms, no shortcuts
cold rain, warm gut
[Bridge]
Who else turn that pain to pavement?
Who else lay a road from the basement?
We fall, then we rise, then repeat
teaching while we learning lessons in the heat
[Chorus]
Men of Concrete
boots in the mud, no cheat
We do whatever it takes
heart on rebar, no breaks
Life is hard, that’s why
that’s why we do concrete
