MUSIC FOR SALE

[Verse 1]
Hydraulics hiss out on the concrete lane
Gold-plated Dayton rims catching the porch-light stain
The front lawn’s packed, cup-holder-blue cups in hand
Two cousins catching up, arguing 'bout some band
By the chainlink fence, girls laughing in a tight circle
Lip liner dark, gold hoops, rocking Tommy Hilfiger
While some brothers in the kitchen whisper back-room deals
Away from the static, counting how the neighborhood feels
The bassline’s heavy, vibrating the screen door hinge
Underneath the laughter, there’s a quiet, electric fringe
Anything can happen in these streets before the morning light
But right now, the smoke is sweet and the groove is locked in tight

[Chorus]
Yeah, everybody’s here tonight
We got the whole hood under the porch light
Everybody’s here tonight
Underneath the bassline, everything's right
Everybody’s here tonight
Yeah, you know the vibe is tight

[Verse 2]
Smell of charcoal burning, ribs sizzling on the rack
Old heads playing dominoes, slamming tiles in the back
Headlights sweep the driveway, a lowrider creeps slow
Chrome bumper shining under the streetlamp glow
Eye contact in the hallway, a look that lingers long
Somebody runs to the stereo to loop that favorite song
Tension in the air but we hold it with a smile
Keeping it streetwise, keeping it cool for a while
Just another summer evening, caught up in the spin
Knowing where we are, knowing who we’re checking in
The whole block’s breathing, moving to the West Coast bounce
Every single second is a moment that we count

[Chorus]
Yeah, everybody’s here tonight
We got the whole hood under the porch light
Everybody’s here tonight
Underneath the bassline, everything's right
Everybody’s here tonight
Yeah, you know the vibe is tight

[Outro]
Porch lights glowing
Classic G-funk flowing
Keep the tires spinning
And the record playing...
Yeah, everybody's here.
