Riot in 6th Street Blues
funk, High-octane jazz-metal crossover: big-band swing drums and walking upright bass locked under detuned, overdriven guitars. Brassy stabs double the chugging riffs; male vocals slip from sly croon to rasping growl. Choruses explode with gang-shouted hooks and stacked horn blasts. Bridge drops to bass, finger snaps, and low spoken vocal before a massive, full-band stinger., swing, jazz, metal, blues, male vocals, low, vocal

Lyrics
Verse 1
Sixth Street
Smoke in the weekday sun
Cops crawl
Counting the bars one by one
Cardboard crown
On a pawn shop king
He says
“Son
This town
Don’t owe you a thing” (uh-huh)
Chorus
Riot in 6th Street blues
We don't play nice
We bruise
Shirts torn
Sharp shoes
Dancin' in the chaos
Choose
Riot in 6th Street blues
Laugh while the fuse runs loose
Wrong side of the good news
Singin' that 6th Street
Riot in 6th Street blues (hey!)
Verse 2
Neon saint
With a half-drunk
Half-broke choir
Dice roll
Skipping in spit and fire
Landlord's son
Shoutin' “Pay what you owe!”
But his daddy’s in the back
Countin' secrets slow
Chorus
Riot in 6th Street blues
We don't play nice
We bruise
Shirts torn
Sharp shoes
Dancin' in the chaos
Choose
Riot in 6th Street blues
Laugh while the fuse runs loose
Wrong side of the good news
Singin' that 6th Street
Riot in 6th Street blues
Bridge
Drums drop out; upright bass walks with finger snaps
Bootheels tap
Glass breath
Cold laugh
I ain't scared of your keys and cuffs
You ain't big enough
Low rent
High sins
Same fight
New skins
This block been burnin' for years
We just fan the embers with cheers
[Full band hit
Horns and guitars crash in]
Chorus
Riot in 6th Street blues
We don't play nice
We bruise (oh yeah)
Shirts torn
Sharp shoes
Dancin' in the chaos
Choose
Riot in 6th Street blues
Laugh while the fuse runs loose
Wrong side of the good news
Singin' that 6th Street
Riot in 6th Street blues
