[Intro: extended electro-funk groove — synth lead, 808s, scratches, 20–30 seconds] Hit it... [Verse 1] Cardboard down on the corner night, Boombox glowing, the floor feels right, Electric feet in a frozen pose, Windmill spinning and the whole block knows... [Pre-Chorus] Let the roof catch fire... [Chorus] Cardboard kingdom, don’t you stop, Push it to the limit, let the roof pop, No sleep till the speakers blow, 1984 on the radio! [Instrumental Break: scratches, synth lead, 808 groove, 20–30 seconds] [Verse 2] Synth in the cop-car, funk in the trunk, Party in the basement, everybody jumps, Two turntables and a microphone, Fight for the right — this beat’s our throne... [Pre-Chorus] Let the roof catch fire... [Chorus] Cardboard kingdom, don’t you stop, Push it to the limit, let the roof pop, No sleep till the speakers blow, 1984 on the radio! [Breakdown: stripped drums and bass, scratches, chant] Go... go... go... Go... go... go... [Final Chorus — bigger party vocals] Cardboard kingdom, don’t you stop, Push it to the limit, let the roof pop, No sleep till the speakers blow, 1984 on the radio! [Outro: extended groove with ad-libs, fading synth stab and last scratch]
