The Bush Grew Roots - Mulberry Street

Creepy Horrorcore trap-metal, djent breakdowns, aggressive rap verses with screamed pre-hooks, eerie clean sung hooks, distorted 808 bass, drop-tuned palm-muted guitars, staccato chugs, electronic stabs, marching percussion, lo-fi music box textures, dynamic shifts from sparse to crushing, theatrical horror metal, dual vocal styles, cinematic dread building to heavy drops, tempo shifts between verses, industrial percussion, haunting nursery rhyme melody on hooks

[Intro]
The bush grew roots
The roots needed feeding
And the wood...

The wood needed chucking

[Verse 1]
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Ask the salvage yard on the east end of the block
Where the sawdust covers everything it should

Stocks and grips and frames and receivers
Wood and steel for the true believers
Home Depot invoice, pallets on the dock
Lumber in and lumber out, nobody sees the Glock
[guitar drops to palm mute, tick exposed]
Fuzzy kept him quiet, Fuzzy kept him ghost
Woodchuck don't know names, Woodchuck don't do most
Just caliber and quantity and timelines on a clock

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?
Enough to arm the block

[Pre-Hook]
GHOST WITH A FORKLIFT
MANIFEST FILLED WITH A LIST OF  HARDWARE
EVERY PIECE HE MOVES
PUTS SOMEBODY IN THE GROUND SOMEWHERE

[Hook]
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck
To supply the whole neighborhood

[Verse 2]
Three little pigs left the mulberry pen
Porcini brothers, blood to the end
Straw built a house on the south side strip
Check-cashing front with a paper-thin grip
Cash heavy, ledger sloppy, deposits never match
Chains he can't explain, a car he can't attach
To any W-2, any 1099
Straw house, glass walls, posting crimes online

Stu built with sticks, Porcini Construction
Ghost subs and fake invoices, laundered through production
Product in the drywall, cash in the bids
Willy's laundromat spinning what the contracts hid
Smarter than his brother but he talked on the phone
Sticks bend before they break and Stu should've known

Solomon built brick, four LLCs deep
Attorneys on attorneys, the man don't lose sleep
Corner booth, pork chop, knife and fork clean
Money so washed it squeaks, you know what I mean?
Brick don't bow, brick don't bend
Solomon smiles because brick don't end

[Pre-Hook]
BUT EVERY HOUSE NEEDS A DOOR
AND EVERY DOOR'S GOT A LOCK
AND THERE'S A WOLF ON MULBERRY
[full band crash, tick locks to snare]
AND HE'S STARTING TO KNOCK

[Hook]
Little pig, little pig, let me come in
No
no
no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin
Then I'll huff and I'll puff
And I'll blow your house in

[Breakdown]
STRAW HOUSE
(one kick and it's flat)
STICK HOUSE
(wiretap, welcome mat)
BRICK HOUSE
(huffing, puffing, nothing)
BRICK HOUSE
(THE WOLF CAN'T TOUCH IT)

[Outro]
But every wall's got a crack somewhere
Every wall's got a crack
