[Verse 1] Scuffed-up kicks on the concrete Loose lace swing on my old beat shoes Got that Monday mood in my backpack Dreams folded up like last week’s news Met a bad day at the bus stop Said “you’re late” and it laughed in my face So I scribbled on the back of a receipt Turned that trouble to a little bass line grace [Chorus] Dum de dum, boom bap Heart goes just like that Head nod, can’t hold back Life hits, I hit back Dum de dum, boom bap Turn stress into a track Two fists, one small map I get lost, then bounce back [Verse 2] Clock hands tap like they talk slick Bills in a stack doing cartwheels, rude Mom called, said “boy, keep your hope up” So I stitched up hope in my hand-me-down mood Sidewalk choir on a late-night corner Laugh too loud, but it keeps me brave Every joke’s just armor in a story Every scar’s just ink I save [Chorus] Dum de dum, boom bap Heart goes just like that Head nod, can’t hold back Life hits, I hit back Dum de dum, boom bap Turn stress into a track Two fists, one small map I get lost, then bounce back (bounce back)
