Heard It On The Grapevine

(Verse 1) Streetlights hummin', shadows stretchin', air thick with unspoken heat Heard it on the grapevine, whispers tappin' on my feet Marco and Tyrone, two bulls about to lock horns Gonna settle an old score, rewrite the story 'fore the morn (Chorus) Heard it on the grapevine, eveybody's got the sign Fists gonna fly like thunder, pride on the line No room for steppin' back, gotta face the rhythm head-on This ain't no playground tussle, gloves are coming off at dawn (Verse 2) History simmering, a grudge pot overflowin' A debt to settle, a point to prove, the whole neighborhood knowin' No need for trash talkin', just the sting of competition Two fists in summer heat, to remove the contradiction (Chorus) Heard it on the grapevine, eveybody's got the sign Fists gonna fly like thunder, pride on the line No room for steppin' back, gotta face the rhythm head-on This ain't no playground tussle, gloves are coming off at dawn [Outro] Heard it on the gravevine yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah) Heard it on the grapvine yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah) Heard it on the grapevine [Instrumental solo] [Build] (Chorus) Heard it on the grapevine, eveybody's got the sign Fists gonna fly like thunder, pride on the line No room for steppin' back, gotta face the rhythm head-on This ain't no playground tussle, gloves are coming off at dawn [Outro] Heard it on the gravevine yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah) Heard it on the grapevine yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah) Heard it on the grapevine, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
