Root & Rebar [Intro] Rainwater drips off the rusted ledge Seeds start to wake on the window edge [Verse 1] Concrete canyons where the sun don’t reach Lessons that the iron and the gravel teach Found a plastic tray in a dumpster bin Now I’m bringing all the forest back within Tangled copper wire for the climbing vine Mapping out a jungle on a vertical line LEDs humming while the neighbors sleep Promises to nature that I’m gonna keep [Chorus] Roots digging deep in the rebar soul Taking back the city, taking full control Hydroponic heart in a metal chest Green against the grey, put the gloom to rest [Verse 2] Mist in the air from the spray-can nozzle PH balanced like a living fossil Every leaf is heavy with the morning dew Changing up the rhythm and the city view Basement's breathing like a set of lungs Songs of the harvest on our bitter tongues No more plastic flavor on a Styrofoam plate We’re rewriting dinner on a different slate [Bridge] Steel meets the stem in a cold embrace Life finds a way in a crowded space Dirt under nails in a sterile world Watch how the emerald life is unfurled [Verse 3] Towering garden in the studio loft Crunch of the kale and the moss is soft They said we couldn’t breathe in the diesel smoke But the garden grew until the pavement broke Now the whole block’s got a tray in the hall Ivy climbing up every parking lot wall From the top floor down to the subway gate Nature is the only thing we cultivate [Chorus] Roots digging deep in the rebar soul Taking back the city, taking full control Hydroponic heart in a metal chest Green against the grey, put the gloom to rest [Bridge] Steel meets the stem in a cold embrace Life finds a way in a crowded space Dirt under nails in a sterile world Watch how the emerald life is unfurled [Chorus] Roots digging deep in the rebar soul Taking back the city, taking full control Hydroponic heart in a metal chest Green against the grey, put the gloom to rest [Chorus] Roots digging deep in the rebar soul Taking back the city, taking full control Hydroponic heart in a metal chest Green against the grey, put the gloom to rest [Outro] One seed, one block, one city dream Life flows through the rebar like a stream LOOP Roots digging deep in the rebar soul Taking back the city, taking full control
