[Chorus]
Tell me what you see when you ridin’ downtown
Skyscrapers
Skyscrapers
Talkin’ bout Super Tall buildings risin’ up out the ground
Skyscrapers
Skyscrapers
Concrete and steel fit the material bill
Skyscrapers
Skyscrapers
Civil engineers makin’ them a big deal
Skyscrapers
Skyscrapers
[Verse 1]
Tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa
Standing on Piles, That go deep in the ground
Cylindrical legs is what will be found
Bedrock, Bedrock is where you have to start
Foundation is clearly the most important part
It’s taking all the tension and taking all the stress
Absorbing all the weight you know it’s gotta be the best
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Skyscrapers dealin with wind that’s gonna blow
Talkin 90 mile per hour just in case you didn’t know
Vortex shedding is to blame for all the sway with no control
Givin Engineers a challenge but they solvin on the go
Designing the building with holes, rounding the edges, counteracting all the flow
Simulation in a tunnel, testin it out,
Gotta see how it gone grow
Mechanism called a damper,
Hangin in the middle of a building
Got a slosh tank, holdin water, just couple feet under the ceiling
[Chorus]
