[Verse]
Soul heavy, heart a ticking time bomb, ticking slow
Eyes on the prize, but the grind won't let me go
Shadows on my path, demons in the undertow
Kids my legacy, seeds I sow, they gotta grow
[Chorus]
Heaven calling, but my feet stuck in the dirt
Chains of the grind, can't leave 'em with the hurt
Prayers in the night, but my soul steady burnt
I'll carry the weight, till the page gets turned
[Verse 2]
Death whispers low, but I ain't ready to fold
Kids gotta eat, keep 'em safe from the cold
Building a kingdom from this dust and this mold
If I leave 'em too soon, my story's untold
[Bridge]
Hands clasped tight, tears drip on the floor
Knocking on heaven, but I can't leave the door
Legacy's a burden, yet it’s one I adore
Fight till the last breath, then I’ll give it all more
[Chorus]
Heaven calling, but my feet stuck in the dirt
Chains of the grind, can't leave 'em with the hurt
Prayers in the night, but my soul steady burnt
I'll carry the weight, till the page gets turned
[Outro]
Hope my kids soar when I take my last flight
Leaving them the stars, my dreams shining bright
Till then, I grind, through the pain and the fight
Building their tomorrow from my endless night
