歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The bell rings a rusty tone Manny’s behind the plexiglass throne Scanning bread and the lottery zone While the city groans in a monotone Fluorescent hum on the linoleum floor Same faces walking through the door Looking for peace and a little bit more Than what the day had in store [Pre-Chorus] The skyline is shifting its weight New glass towers at the gate But the coffee is still worth the wait And the hour is getting late [Chorus] It’s the rhythm of the night shift Watching the heavy world lift A small nod is a holy gift Through every generational drift Keep the change, keep the light on Until the break of the new dawn The humble heart is the brawn Before the curtains are drawn [Post-Chorus] (Scratch: "Back in the day") (Scratch: "The neighborhood") (Scratch: "Corner stone") (Scratch: "Keep it moving") [Verse] I see the kids with the vintage gear Chasing ghosts that used to live here Manny remembers every single year Before the rent made the neighbors disappear He slides candy to the mom A quiet gesture, a steady calm Healing the day like a balm In the hollow of a palm [Hook] Dusty crates and the vinyl crackle Breaking every heavy mental shackle Soul loops in a Philly tackle Rising above the city cackle [Bridge] Steel shutters rattle in the breeze Old men talking with ease History written in the grease Looking for a moment of peace No shine, just the grit This is where the candles sit [Verse] The taxi driver needs a pack of gum Calculating the daily sum Thinking of where he's coming from To the beat of the city drum No medals for the double shift Just the spirit and the heavy lift Finding the gold in the urban rift A slow and steady cultural drift [Chorus] It’s the rhythm of the night shift Watching the heavy world lift A small nod is a holy gift Through every generational drift Keep the change, keep the light on Until the break of the new dawn The humble heart is the brawn Before the curtains are drawn [Outro]
