Intro
Dade hot. Don’t ask why.
Verse 1
Humidity heavy, tee stick to my back Air thick like we breathe through a bag Line wrapped twice round Club Pink door Dreads, gold fronts, white Air Force Zoe boys posted by the side of the lot Old school Chevy make the trunk feel hot Wrist on freeze but the night still sweat Whole city outside, ain’t sleep yet
Pre-chorus
No AC, fan broke, still lit Floor shaking when the bassline hit You feel that? That pressure real Whole room move when the DJ wheel
Chorus
Dade heat, we don’t cool off If it’s too hot we just take shirts off Dade heat, can’t turn down Whole club bounce when the kick drum pound Dade heat, don’t play soft If it’s too packed we just pack more Dade heat, all night long If you ain’t built for it, go back home
Verse 2
Spanish talk mix with the slang “Que lo que” from a thick gold chain Brown skin shining like cocoa butter She move slow but the bass move her Bottle girls weave through tight space Sweat bead drip off her lace VIP small but it feel like war One wrong look and it’s out that door
Pre-chorus
No AC, fan broke, still lit. Floor shaking when the bassline hit. You feel that? That pressure real. Whole room jump when the DJ spin.
Chorus
Dade heat, we don’t cool off If it’s too hot we just take shirts off Dade heat, can’t turn down Whole place bounce when the speakers pound Dade heat, don’t play soft If it’s too packed we just pack more Dade heat, all night long If you ain’t built for it, go back home
Verse 3
Outside smell like gas and weed Parking lot talk where the plays get agreed CashApp ping but it’s face to face Handshake solid, no paper trail trace Reggaeton bleed through the back wall 808 knock make the whole block crawl Sirens far but we don’t flinch That’s just background to the bassline pinch
Verse 4
Palm trees barely move, no breeze Chain leave dents where it hit my tee Section couch tore, duct tape seam Still cost racks just to step on scene DJ yelling “run that back” Whole crowd scream when the drop snap crack Phone flash pop but nobody pose We here for motion, not for show
Bridge
Sweat drip. Heartbeat loud.
Verse 5
Three AM but the line still deep Girl heels off walking barefoot concrete Security tired but the door stay live Whole city wired like it never five My dawg whisper “we good, we straight” Whole club thick like July heat wave If it’s too hot that’s how it’s posed Dade don’t cool, that’s how it go
Chorus
Dade heat, we don’t cool off If it’s too hot we just take shirts off Dade heat, can’t turn down Whole club bounce when the kick drum pound Dade heat, don’t play soft If it’s too packed we just pack more Dade heat, all night long If you ain’t built for it, go back home
