[Verse 1: Hopped-up swing-rap male MC, swing-rap bars, swinging live drums] Broad Street platform, quarter to six Me on the tile with a hat for the tips Rush hour pouring like a flood down the stairs I drop one heel and the whole crowd stares Then a crew rolls in with a speaker on wheels Four young boys with the flips and the zeal Set up right across from me, loud and proud Said pops, take a seat, you embarrassing the crowd So I tipped my hat and I said, y'all first Head spin, windmill, flare, and the cardboard burst Then I stood on the tile and I cracked my neck And I let it fly like a drummer with a check [Hook: Hopped-up swing-rap male MC, big band horn stabs, thumping bass] Heel and toe, let the concrete talk Every step I take is a drum on the walk You can spin on your head, you can freeze in the air But the heel and the toe got the whole platform there [Verse 2: Hopped-up swing-rap male MC, faster swing-rap bars, swinging live drums] Every heel that I dropped hit hard as a kick Every toe that I flicked was a rimshot, quick Wing, pull-back, cramp roll, riff Every word that they said started sounding stiff Train came in and nobody got on Train came in again and the doors closed, gone Third train came and the conductor leaned out Held the doors for a minute just to see what it's about Crew stopped spinning and they stood in a ring Then the biggest one said, man, teach me that thing I said look at the shoes, take a look underneath No metal on the soles, just a bottle cap in each [Hook: Hopped-up swing-rap male MC, big band horn stabs, thumping bass] Heel and toe, let the concrete talk Every step I take is a drum on the walk You can spin on your head, you can freeze in the air But the heel and the toe got the whole platform there [Tap Break: Hopped-up swing-rap male MC, horn on every heel, the drums pull back to his heels and the horn section punches one stab on every heel] Heel! Heel! Toe, heel, toe! Every horn in the tunnel coming up from below Two bottle caps and a pair of church shoes Forty years on the tile and I don't know how to lose Pick your cardboard up, I'ma teach you right here First thing that you learn is the floor gotta hear [Final Hook: Hopped-up swing-rap male MC, full swing band, raw full voice] Heel and toe, let the concrete talk Every step I take is a drum on the walk You can spin on your head, you can freeze in the air But the heel and the toe got the whole platform there [End]
