Lyrics
[Intro]
Hmm
Hmm-yeah
[Verse 1]
Pulled up slow on a Saturday night
Window rolled down and the bass hit right
Talkbox croonin through the humid air
Motown horns on a heavy snare
Every block a story every corner a king
Tape deck rumble got the speakers swingin
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't help the way it pulls me in
That old school soul with the modern spin
[Chorus]
Soul on the strip
Keep it movin don't slip
Hands to the sky for the ones who got us here
Sweet melody comin through the synth
Makes you wanna live makes you wanna grin
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
Granddaddy used to spin the vinyl till dawn
Now I'm out here puttin samples on
Field recorder caught a train horn moan
Stitched it to a groove and I built a throne
From the pavement cracks to the church bell chime
Every found sound fits in its time
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't help the way it pulls me in
That old school soul with the modern spin
[Chorus]
Soul on the strip
Keep it movin don't slip
Hands to the sky for the ones who got us here
Sweet melody comin through the synth
Makes you wanna live makes you wanna grin
[Hook]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Makes you wanna live makes you wanna grin
[Bridge]
Pass the torch pass the verse
Pass the beat from the cradle to the hearse
Skrrt the melody croon the bass
Every city leave a trace
Leave a trace
Leave a trace
[Chorus]
Soul on the strip
Keep it movin don't slip
Hands to the sky for the ones who got us here
Sweet melody comin through the synth
Makes you wanna live makes you wanna grin
