PPE Blud

Lyrics

[Intro - eerie synth drones, sparse 808s, tense ad-libs "yo, stay strapped"]
Yo, warehouse life, dark ends, PPE or you get sent
Steel toes, gloves on, no bend, pickers grind, defend...

[Verse 1 - gritty drill flow, rapid triplet hi-hats, low-slung bass, aggressive male rap delivery]
In the yard, boxes stack high like towers in the mist
Forklifts weave, one slip, crush your foot, twist
No steel toes? Bare kicks, that's bait, get mashed quick
Picker man's rushin', pallet drop, bones crack, sick
Gloves off, hands raw, grabbin' steel, cut deep bleed
Slice ya palm, tetanus creep, hospital feed
Mandem ignore the kit, think they're hard, end up scarred
Forklift blade spin, no guard, lights out, yard bard

[Chorus - heavy 808 slides, sliding drill melody, chopped vocal layers, dark echoing ad-libs "PPE, mandatory"]
PPE mandatory, steel caps save ya soles (steel toes!)
Gloves grip tight, no slip, warehouse code (wear 'em!)
One mistake, dark days, crushed frame, no games (no games)
Pickers stay safe, kit on, or join the hall of pain (hall of pain)

[Verse 2 - faster grime cadence, rattling snares, ominous piano stabs, whispered threats building to shouts]
Night shift cold, concrete floors slick with spill
No hi-vis? Ghosted by the lift, drill that thrill
Steel toes stomp, heavy load shift, no flinch
Barefoot flex? Toe jam, ambulance cinch
Gloves frayed? Chemical burn, skin peel slow
Acid splash, no shield, face melt, hell flow
Boss man's watchin', but slackers chat, get caught lackin'
Pallet smash ya chest, PPE lackin', straight packin'

[Bridge - stripped 808 pulse, haunting vocal chops, rising tension sirens, half-time flow]
Slow it down, feel the weight... one false move, fate sealed
Kit on lock, or warehouse block becomes your grave field...

[Chorus - distorted 808 boom, intensified hi-hats, layered gang shouts, reverb-drenched hooks]
PPE mandatory, steel caps save ya soles (steel toes!)
Gloves grip tight, no slip, warehouse code (wear 'em!)
One mistake, dark days, crushed frame, no games (no games)
Pickers stay safe, kit on, or join the hall of pain (hall of pain)

[Outro - fading drill beat decay, echoing ad-libs "PPE... steel toes...", distant forklift sounds]
Steel toes, gloves, stay alive... warehouse dark, survive... (fade)
