Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up to the sun but my soul’s in the shade
Life’s a game of hustle so the dues gotta be paid
City’s got a heartbeat pounding like a drum
Every step I take I know where I’m from

[Chorus]
Rise and grind the hustle never slows
Turn my pain into gold that’s the way it flows
Life’s a climb but the streets have pros
Grit and glory that’s how the story goes

[Verse 2]
Chains don’t shine but my dreams don’t rust
Sweat on my brow is what I really trust
Every rhyme’s a ladder every word’s a brick
Building up a future gotta stack it quick

[Chorus]
Rise and grind the hustle never slows
Turn my pain into gold that’s the way it flows
Life’s a climb but the streets have pros
Grit and glory that’s how the story goes

[Bridge]
Every clock ticks but my drive won’t fade
Running on ambition got no time for shade
Echoes on the pavement from my steady pace
This is my world this is my space

[Chorus]
Rise and grind the hustle never slows
Turn my pain into gold that’s the way it flows
Life’s a climb but the streets have pros
Grit and glory that’s how the story goes
