Speaker Box Heartwood

[Verse 1]
The transformer buzz on the telephone pole
Singin' out a riddim that makes the spirit whole
A low, steady hum through the cracked sidewalk stone
A taproot of sound I can carry back home

[Chorus]
My speaker box heartwood, the bassline deep
Planted in the concrete while the city sleeps
This foundation riddim, a promise to keep

[Verse 2]
Remember the weight of the speaker stack sound
Pressin' on my chest down on Kingston ground
Now the signal is carried by a tangled new vine
But the current still flows with that same root design

[Chorus]
My speaker box heartwood, the bassline deep
Planted in the concrete while the city sleeps
This foundation riddim, a promise to keep

[Bridge]
Some roots run on water, some branch on the wire
A low-frequency signal, a persistent desire

[Chorus]
My speaker box heartwood, the bassline deep
Planted in the concrete while the city sleeps
This foundation riddim, a promise to keep

[Outro]
The heartwood keeps the time...
The bassline deep inside...
