Concrete Don’t Care

Title: Concrete Don’t Care [Intro — concrete truck / beat build] [Concrete truck rumble, shovel scrape, boots on gravel, deep 808 rising, no spoken intro] [Chant Intro] Pour it level Set it real Concrete don’t care how you feel Pour it level Move with skill Concrete don’t care how you feel [Verse 1] Truck backed up with the morning still gray Whole crew knows there ain’t no soft day Forms laid out line pulled tight Sun coming mean and the mix looks right You can bring your mood you can bring your ache But the slab won’t wait for your heart to break When that mud hits ground the clock starts talking Either move with purpose or the whole thing hardens That taught me something I needed bad Life don’t pause when your mind gets sad It don’t make it cruel it just makes it true The day still needs what it needs from you So I grab that edge and I find my pace Let the low end knock where I need my brace Trowel in my hand sun on my neck Learning discipline from a wet gray mess [Pre-Chorus] Pull that screed keep that line Hard truth builds a steady mind When the world won’t bend and the road gets real Remember concrete don’t care how you feel [Chorus] Concrete don’t care how you feel it just sets where you leave it Life gets heavy but you still gotta meet it Pour that pain into something you can build Move with your purpose keep your hands on the wheel Concrete don’t care how you feel so I don’t wait on easy I bring my rhythm when the day tries to beat me Set my feet let the low end heal Hard truth strong will Concrete don’t care how you feel [Post-Chorus — chant] Pour it level Set it real Hard truth strong will Move it finish Shape it still Concrete don’t care how you feel [Verse 2] I watched men work through a whole life hurting Backs lit up but the hands still certain Nobody clapping nobody filming Just a crew in the heat turning mud into building That’s a lesson right there that a book can’t sell You learn real quick when the mix don’t care You learn how to breathe when the body gets loud Learn how to think with the sun beating down I ain’t saying bury what’s going on inside I’m saying don’t let pain be the one that drives Feel what you feel then square your stance Get back in rhythm give your life a chance Cause the same hard thing that can wear you thin Can become the ground that you’re standing in If you finish it right if you stay with the deal That’s why concrete don’t care how you feel [Pre-Chorus] Pull that screed keep that line Hard truth builds a steady mind When the world won’t bend and the road gets real Remember concrete don’t care how you feel [Chorus] Concrete don’t care how you feel it just sets where you leave it Life gets heavy but you still gotta meet it Pour that pain into something you can build Move with your purpose keep your hands on the wheel Concrete don’t care how you feel so I don’t wait on easy I bring my rhythm when the day tries to beat me Set my feet let the low end heal Hard truth strong will Concrete don’t care how you feel [Bridge — stomp / crew chant] Rebar down forms stay tight Water gravel Gray daylight Trowel smooth line stay clean Turn that weight into something seen No excuses no pretend Shape it now before it sets in Hands stay moving mind stay real Concrete don’t care how you feel [Breakdown — low heavy bounce] That don’t mean your pain ain’t true That don’t mean the day don’t bruise That just means you choose your skill When the world won’t move you move still [Final Chorus] Concrete don’t care how you feel it just sets where you leave it Life gets heavy but you still gotta meet it Pour that pain into something you can build Move with your purpose keep your hands on the wheel Concrete don’t care how you feel so I don’t wait on easy I bring my rhythm when the day tries to beat me Set my feet let the low end heal Hard truth strong will Concrete don’t care how you feel [Outro — chant fades / truck rumble] Pour it level Set it real Concrete don’t care how you feel
