Lyrics
[Intro]
(Heavy rain rattles a tin roof, low pass-filter hum under it)
(A gated synth motif creeps in, pitched down)
(Time-stretched vocal chops flicker in and out)
(Viktor’s voice—raspy, intimate, syrup-slow):
"Yeah...
Rain comin’ down like the sky got a grudge.
Front porch wisdom, let it wash, let it budge.
Don’t fold.
Inner being... daily renewal.
Just sit with it."
[Verse 1: Chopped-and-screwed flow, then snapping into crisp double-time pockets]
Cigarette ember glowin’ in the gray light
Watch the storm clouds drag their feet through the daylight.
My joints keep crackin’ like these boards in this chair
A little more silver in the beard, less air in the air.
Outer man saggin’, yeah, he’s worn thin
But I still hear the spark when the bass line spins.
Weight of the years, and the weather on the skin
Still I’m steady when the pressure tryna cave me in.
There’s a flame in the cellar, there’s a pulse in the hall
When I’m feelin’ low, that’s when I’m standin’ tall.
(Vocal chop: Stand tall... stand tall...)
[Chorus: Midwestern bounce, 808s knock, layered melodic chops]
So no wonder we don’t give up now...
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Every single mornin’, the grace break through)
Yeah, sittin’ on the porch while the world move slow
But the heart stay young and the spirit stay bold.
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Every single mornin’, the grace break through)
Yeah, sittin’ on the porch while the world move slow
But the heart stay young and the spirit stay bold.
[Chorus: Maximum atmosphere, stop-start edits, chopped samples]
So no wonder we don’t give up now...
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Every single mornin’, the grace break through)
Yeah, sittin’ on the porch while the world move slow
But the heart stay young and the spirit stay bold.
[Verse 2: Fast triplet hats, chopper cadence, grounded and reflective]
It’s a gradual process, the wearin’ of the frame
Like a photo left faded in a picture with no name.
But the text say renewal happen every single day
So I’m listenin’ close to what the raindrops say.
Internal chemistry, spiritual upgrade
I’m the only thing growin’ in the middle of the shade.
3-6-9, vibration in the soul
Lettin’ go the edges just to feel the whole.
Another puff, another breath, another day in the light
Even when the sun hide, I’m still alright.
(Vocal chop: I’m still alright...)
[Bridge: Strip to muffled drums, sub-bass swell, piano fragments]
(Viktor’s voice, raw and unpolished)
You see the rust.
I see the shine.
You see the end.
I see the vine.
Renewed... every... single... day.
[Chorus: Dense drums, chopped sample hook, bouncy pocket]
So no wonder we don’t give up now...
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Watchin’ the rain wash the dust off the brow)
The outside is breakin’, the inside is new
(Every single mornin’, the grace break through)
Yeah, sittin’ on the porch while the world move slow
But the heart stay young and the spirit stay bold.
[Outro: Rain intensifies, tape slowdown, piano fades]
(Spoken, quiet)
Don’t let the outside fool you.
The engine is brand new.
Every morning.
2 Corinthians 4:16.
