Steel Mill Check-In

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nine to the line, I’m the one on the floor Hard hat low when I walk through the door Clipboard in hand, got the heat in my chest Every beam gotta meet, every weld gotta dress I don’t bark loud, I move with the crew Name on the shift log, I know what to do Forklift back up, watch the lane, watch the flame If the gauge dips red, I’m the first to the frame [Pre-Chorus] Check it Then move it Keep it straight No excuses Hands on time Eyes on spin We don’t break We build again [Chorus] Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in Run it clean, keep it clean Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in Hot roll, cold sweat, still mean [Verse 2] By the press, got a crew with a count Every second got a price, every ounce got an amount When the sparks jump high, I don’t flinch, I don’t fold I’m the calm in the blast, I’m the voice that controls Radio crackle, I answer in code Line stays live when the big doors roll I seen rookies turn green, I seen veterans grin When the stack stays tight, then the whole site wins [Pre-Chorus] Check it Then move it Keep it straight No excuses Hands on time Eyes on spin We don’t break We build again [Chorus] Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in Run it clean, keep it clean Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in Hot roll, cold sweat, still mean [Bridge] Ten toes planted, I don’t chase the noise I count every fault like I count every choice If it bends, we fix it If it slips, we seize it If it holds, we ship it That’s how we keep it [Final Chorus] Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in Run it clean, keep it clean Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in Hot roll, cold sweat, still mean Steel mill check-in Steel mill check-in One more round, then we breathe
