[Intro] [dry drum break, kick and snare only] (Na-na-na-na-na) [bass enters] (Yeah) (Na-na-na-na-na) (Yeah) [Verse 1] [male rap vocals, staccato piano enters] Clock on the wall got a lazy little lean to it Ticket machine gossip every time it starts spitting Floor got a story in the flower by the doorway Somebody laughed loud enough to shake the trays I don't force bars they just wander out the side door Same rhythm as the cooler hum behind the back store Got a pocket full of change from the soda fountain Thought stacked taller than the boxes by the mountain Kid asked for extra plates I slid them with a nod Old dude fold the bills like he was playing cards with God Whole room buzzing but my head stays centered Eyes catch details everybody else forgets to remember Little scorch on the pill tells you who rushed it Bell hit once everybody move no discussion Phone light blinking like it's trying to join the cipher Life throw curveballs I just learned another slider I don't need a stage when the room already breathing Every face got a chapter every doorway got a reason I just paint what I notice while the minutes keep floating Regular Tuesday into lines worth quoting Never chase perfect I just sharpen what's honest Built from little moments that nobody ever promised Walk out with tomorrow still stuck on my sneakers Mind stay loud but the cadence sound peaceful [Outro] [vocals drop out, drum break continues] [record scratch] [bass and piano fade out]
