[Verse 1]
Clock in on the nine to five
Still talk to God while I drive
Same pain that made me cry
Turned me to the type that survives
They tried to play with my heart
Smiled in my face
Tore it apart
But all that doubt in their eyes
Just made me double my grind
[Chorus]
I stay true 2 my guys
Yeah
All the time (all the time)
They was prayin’ I’d fold
But I’m still in my prime
You can’t play with my sympat
I read every lie
You can on the 9to5
I’m still gonna rise
My strength is my fa
That’s why I shine
[Verse 2]
Cold nights on the same block
Shared plates
Split the last drop
If they call
Man
I can’t flop
Promise made
That don’t stop
Seen homies switch for a lil’ fame
Seen fam move strange for a lil’ change
But loyalty in my veins
I’d rather lose than be fake
[Chorus]
I stay true 2 my guys
Yeah
All the time (all the time)
They was prayin’ I’d fold
But I’m still in my prime
You can’t play with my sympat
I read every lie
You can on the 9to5
I’m still gonna rise
My strength is my fa
That’s why I shine
[Bridge]
They don’t know what I lost to get here (nah)
Every scar
Every doubt
Every tear
But I talk to the sky when I’m low
And it tell me
“Lil bro
Just go” (just go)
[Chorus]
I stay true 2 my guys
Yeah
All the time
They was prayin’ I’d fold
But I’m still in my prime
You can’t play with my sympat
I read every lie
You can on the 9to5
I’m still gonna rise
My strength is my fa
That’s why I shine (why I shine)
