[Intro: Seething venom-tongued male MC, cowbell melody alone, then the 808 lands]
Route Nine, midnight
Clear the slab

[Verse 1: Seething venom-tongued male MC, seething, slow and loaded]
Under the overpass, sodium glow
Twelve batteries stacked in the trunk in a row
Frame got rust and the paint got runs
Three coats of red from my mama's carport sun
Crew from the river with the chrome on the rims
Laughing at my car like it's begging for limbs
Call it a toy, call it a tin can coupe
I'ma let the switches do the talking for the group

[Hook: Seething venom-tongued male MC, full chest, shouted]
Leave my color on the bridge, measure that
Front end kissing where the sparrows sat
Tape run out, bring a ladder and a hat
Leave my color on the bridge, measure that

[Verse 2: Seething venom-tongued male MC, seething, faster]
Rebuilt every pump with a wrench and a prayer
Rewired the dump with a coat hanger there
Your car cost more than my mama's house
Mine cost nights and a busted blouse
Judges got a tape that go ninety tops
Never had a car make the tape run out
First hop, sixty, the crowd go hush
Second hop, eighty, now the river crew flush

[Bridge: Seething venom-tongued male MC, batteries dumped, shouting the switch numbers, cowbell climbing]
Switch one, front
Switch two, back
Switch three, all of it, hit the stack
Nose go up and the tail go down
Bumper climbing past the top of the town
Hold it
Scrape
Hear the concrete sing
Candy red stripe on the underside thing

[Verse 3: Seething venom-tongued male MC, seething, every word bitten]
Chassis came down like a door on a jail
Sparks off the slab like a comet's tail
Judges looking up with the tape in a coil
Nothing on the tape, so they measure the oil
Red on the concrete, plain as a sign
Higher than the river crew ever gon climb
Morning come round and the commuters drive through
And the bridge still wearing my color, not you

[Outro: Seething venom-tongued male MC, cold, cowbell melody rings out and fades]
Route Nine
Look up

[End]
