Shockwave Strut

Lyrics

  

[Intro – guitar riff + crowd count-in]

Go! Go! step in—click-clack, ride the track, let it smack


[Verse 1 – rap]

Street-lamp shuffle, back-alley swing
Riff crawls quick on a nickel-wound string
Used to hide behind static and fear,
Now I front this roar—feel the whole room cheer
Side-slide swagger, Aerosmith grin
Tele talkback like a long-lost twin
Flow keeps flexin’, no worn cliché—
Get close, get loose, gonna walk this way


Lead: Hands up, hearts loud—
Crowd: We don’t break, we break out!
Lead: Fuse lit, floor shakes—
Crowd: Feel that earthquake!


[Chorus – sung/rock (12 syllables each, micro-hook “Hey!” pickup)]


Hey! Shock-wave strut—hear the city ignite
Fire on the fretboard, streaks of neon light
When the drop hits, heaven and asphalt meet
I’m the rapture riding on a bass-line heat


[Verse 2 – rap]

Kick-drum cannonball, every word recoils
Voice rides dirty on turbine coils
Spark-stick syllables, flick-flick flare,
Ignite that pit till the roof gasps air
B-O-O-M, clocks in the red,
Crowd-surf crest of the words I said
Gold in the gutter, grit in the glow,
Gravity flips—watch the whole room flow


[Pre-Chorus – repeat]

Lead: Hands up, hearts loud—
Crowd: We don’t break, we break out!
Lead: Fuse lit, floor shakes—
Crowd: Feel that earthquake!


[Chorus – repeat]

Hey! Shock-wave strut—hear the city ignite
Fire on the fretboard, streaks of neon light
When the drop hits, heaven and asphalt meet
I’m the rapture riding on a bass-line heat


[Bridge – disco-funk breakdown / rap-sing hybrid]

Neon haze on a midnight breeze
Chrome-shadow dancers, vinyl trapeze
Planet-wide pulse, satellites sway,
Rapture rewound in a cosmic café
Spin that record—let galaxies sway


[Half-Time Build]

Tick … tick … (music drops to finger snaps)
SHOCK! (a-cappella gang chant)
**BOOM!—kick flips back with a stadium zoom


[Final Chorus – extended, add gospel-choir tag]

Hey! Shock-wave strut—hear the city ignite
Fire on the fretboard, streaks of neon light
Skyline shivers when barricades beat
I’m the rapture riding on a bass-line heat
Go! Shock-wave strut—ride the ricochet
Six-string sermon, breakbeats kneel and pray
Lights drop black—afterglow sings
We’re the shock-wave strut—feel everything


[Outro – feedback + whispered hook]

Walk this way… boom… rapture in the room…
