Grind

Verse 1 They said I'm chasing smoke, but I'm chasing light Every "no" just sharpens up my bite Sleepless nights became my favorite time When the city sleeps, that's when I climb Hands are bleeding from the climbing rope But my vision's clearer than the hope They sold me—I'm building something real Palms up, broken, learning how to kneel Chorus This is grind, this is grind Every second, every line This is grind, this is grind Watch me turn my pain to gold, yeah This is grind, this is grind Leave the doubt and fear behind This is grind, this is grind I ain't stoppin' till I'm home Verse 2 Scars on my fingers, ink on my soul They didn't think I'd ever reach the goal Now they're asking for the recipe But they never tasted what it cost to be Hungry never left me, kept me sharp Every closed door was a holy mark I'm a mirror to the ones who came before Showin' young kids what the struggle's for Bridge Don't know when you'll break through But I know the moment's true When your hands have paid the price That's when you realize It was never just the prize Outro This is grind This is grind Watch me turn it into mine
