[Verse 1: Crimping monel-rib male MC, crimping] Booth cold under a palm that knows every fray I carry pride and timing and a join that will not stay Top bar holds the first laugh, I seat and pass it on Evening crowd waits on my seat before they cue at dawn Hands on the reel, lungs full of dust and chalk Headset dead for hours, so the voice becomes the walk I do not own the room, I own the middle span If my splice blanks out, the whole gag loses plan [Hook: Crimping monel-rib male MC, loud, crimping] Cement joined on the bar I refused to drop Not a speech, a seating you can feel and mop Grip the reel, keep the pace, send the next line through Set holds only if the middle gag is true [Verse 2: Crimping monel-rib male MC, colder, crimping] I learned the mark from a comic who left no name Only a worn booth chart and a habit that became the game Tonight the join fails like a quiet dare I feel the hang before the house lights care Fat kick waits on my mouth to land the seat I sing the bars they need and keep the line neat No banner, no speech about pride or the past Just reel on a frame and a gag that has to last Crimping through the doubt like a vow with no crowd Loud enough for the join, quiet enough for the cloud [Bridge: Crimping monel-rib male MC, cement join, crimping] Cement join under both palms Snare answers hard on the calm Crowd never needs a speech to know The set is mine when the join says so [Verse 3: Crimping monel-rib male MC, crimping, louder] The join seats free and the room takes the proof I step back half a pace and let them own the roof Boots on the grade already testing the give I hear the laugh once and know the gag will live My job is the timing, not the plaque or the board Join seats, bars hold, that is the whole reward Leave the chart folded where the next dawn can see Cement join means the set and the night agree [Hook: Crimping monel-rib male MC, loud, crimping] Cement joined on the bar I refused to drop Not a speech, a seating you can feel and mop Grip the reel, keep the pace, send the next line through Set holds only if the middle gag is true [Outro: Crimping monel-rib male MC, proud cold, fat kick rings out and fades] Cement join, Saturday Tell the set I said stay [End]
