Song story
"Built with C" Clock: 9:43
Two dollars, one glass. A Brooklyn egg cream — chocolate syrup, milk, seltzer. Named for the two things that AREN'T in it, and still the sweetest thing on the counter. That's the whole record. No egg. No cream. Swiss cheese on the side — the only cheese famous for its holes (you know who you are). First time I ever entered one of these. The doubt showed up right on schedule, so we put its eviction in the hook: Silencio, Bruno. It starts the way it started — friends on a stoop asking what we're drinking tonight. Turns out the answer is everything that's not in the glass. Listen for the drop where she calls for silence and the track obeys. (1:24) And stay for the last word — or the half of it you get. Absence pulls harder than presence. Catch 'em off guard and let it flood. Built with my C. — Space C · OG 🖼️🔥

Lyrics
[Intro - summer night kickback, friends on a stoop, ice clinking, seltzer cracks open, no beat, spoken conversation] Yo, what are we drinking tonight? Two dollars, one glass Wait, what's even in it? [Chorus - female lead, male voice answers Silencio Bruno] No egg, no cream Silencio, Bruno No egg, no cream And it's still the sweetest thing [Verse 1] Sun on my skin, Sand in our shoes, umbrella to hide Chocolate going down slow, seltzer on the side Silver spoon spinning, brown foam climbing high Nothing in the name and I don't know why [Pre-Chorus] You said six, you came at nine I didn't even mind, you probably took your time [soft laugh] [Chorus] No egg, no cream Silencio, Bruno No egg, no cream And it's still the sweetest thing Brooklyn in a tall glass, foam up to the top Nothing in the name, everything in the drink No egg, no cream Silencio, Bruno [Verse 2] Fan in the window, radio down low Ice sweating in the sink, we got nowhere to go You take the first sip, leave me the foam We drink too much... Naaa, straight to the dome [loud slurp, ice rattle] [Chorus] [Break - everything drops, fizz only] Listen Still sweet [Final Chorus - organ slams back in] No egg, no cream Silencio, Bruno [Silence] [Full band slams back, biggest pass] No egg, no cream And it's still the sweetest thing Brooklyn in a tall glass, foam up to the top Nothing in the name, everything in the drink No egg, no cream Silencio, Bruno [Outro - all instruments cut, seltzer fizz only, spoken deadpan] No egg, no cream Swiss cheese on the side as a garnish, "Silencio, Bruno"
