Spark Lyrics
You think it's over now
You think we'll go away
But we keep climbing up
You can't keep us down
A temporary no
This shit is not for play
We're not your typical
That ain't what we're here for
It's time we light it up
Our match is to the grain
The tension's rising and
We ain't looking down
Watch how we take the throne
Drop like a cannonball
We take the lead
No, we're never gonna follow
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to...
Blow, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh
Three years of digging holes
Been burning through our souls
Yeah we keep rising high
You can't touch us now
We give it every night
Our hearts are dynamite
We spit that fire
So you better listen up
Whoa whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh ohh ohh
Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to...blow
Bang bang here we go
Everything's about to blow
(Oh oh, oh oh)
Boom Boom, it's going up
Blast it up and lift it up
Sky high sky high
Here we go about to fly
Fitz: Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, ohh oh
Together: Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, ohh ohh
Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
Don't they know, [ohhhhhh...] the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, [ohhhhhh...] this building is about to blow?
This building is about to...
Blow, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohh ohh
You think we'll go away
But we keep climbing up
You can't keep us down
This shit is not for play
We're not your typical
That ain't what we're here for
Our match is to the grain
The tension's rising and
We ain't looking down
Drop like a cannonball
We take the lead
No, we're never gonna follow
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to...
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh
Been burning through our souls
Yeah we keep rising high
You can't touch us now
Our hearts are dynamite
We spit that fire
So you better listen up
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh ohh ohh
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to...blow
Everything's about to blow
(Oh oh, oh oh)
Blast it up and lift it up
Sky high sky high
Here we go about to fly
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, ohh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, ohh ohh
Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
Don't they know, [ohhhhhh...] this building is about to blow?
This building is about to...
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohh ohh

Pent-up frustration and energy are unleashed in a full-on fiesta of fun.
Although this song is a great listen it's not poetic. But we still can use only one word can explain this song very well:rebellion. They have been "diggin holes" but now a spark lightened their hopes and will to "take the throne". When they realize that they are in control insted of being lead, their years of tension transforms into an urge to to imply violence."Don't they know this building is going to blow?" To sum up, this song is about a group of people who are feeling powerful as they are now the leader instead of being the slave.
It's about a bunch of coal miners who have decided that they aren't going mine anymore. Instead, they are going to rebel against their bosses
