Rockers Downtown Upstyling

rockers in the morning time
rockers in the evening time
rockers on the beat this time
rockers in the room take over
go!

born in the middle of a vacant lot
way out on the edge of town
crows in a murder, nursing broken wings, set me to the ground
while off in the distance, in the city lights,
played all those pretty sounds
lord
once, in a dream i had,
i’d been grown up,
made me a big name uptown

oh lord
lord, do you hear me now? (x2)
play me that rockers sound

killed every bar and dancehall in town
cold heart like a switchblade knife
rewind the beat a minute, bring in the bass
oh

better run for your life
bring in the echo,
the rhythm,
the treble.
keep on stepping away
from all the blood, the dust,
the gunshots
don’t stop
let the music play

oh lord
lord, do you hear me now? (x2)
play me that rockers sound

and i can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
and i’ve been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord

we just keep on pushing up
we just keep on pushing up
we just keep on pushing up
we just keep on pushing forward
