Grind And Rise

[Intro] Yeah, uh, we start small, shine anyway [Verse 1] I push through the noise with a pocket full of plans Two hands on the grind, I’m building with my hands City lights flicker like a heartbeat on the street Every small win stacks up, now I’m lifting off my feet Late nights, bright screens, I’m scribblin’ the decree Sayin’ what I mean, meanin’ what I’m gonna be Hard knocks teach lessons in the echo of the beat I got a plan, I got a dream, I’ll never face defeat [Chorus] I’m on my grind, I won’t slow down From the ground up, I’m claimin’ my crown Truth in the hustle, I wear it like a sound Rise with the rhythm, I’m runnin’ this town [Verse 2] Check the blueprint, I drew it in the dust Turned it into action, turnin’ passion into trust Words are the tools, I hammer with my faith Every setback’s fuel, every failure seeds to faith Name in the ledger, I’m signin’ with my name I’m teachin’ the hustle, I’m spillin’ the flame From the subway steps to the skyline I claim Buildin’ my future, one bar at a time, no lame [Chorus] I’m on my grind, I won’t slow down From the ground up, I’m claimin’ my crown Truth in the hustle, I wear it like a sound Rise with the rhythm, I’m runnin’ this town [Bridge] Never look back, I keep movin’ forward Every setback a setup for a bold report Stay hungry, stay honest, keep the promise tight I’m a chapter in progress, I’m workin’ through the night [Chorus] I’m on my grind, I won’t slow down From the ground up, I’m claimin’ my crown Truth in the hustle, I wear it like a sound Rise with the rhythm, I’m runnin’ this town [Outro] Yeah, I’m comin’ up, no doubt, no fear Step by step, the future’s finally here
