[Intro]
Yeah, it's a cold world out here, gotta hustle just to survive
Listen up, this is the story of the grind, the struggle, the thrive
[Verse 1]
Early mornings, late nights, eyes on the prize
Flipping what I got, no disguise, gotta make it rise
From corners to blocks, my story's real, no lies
Chasing that paper, under city skies, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Grind heavy, never petty, push through the pain
Stakes high, gotta grind, can't entertain the shame
Money coming fast, but I know the game
Fighting for respect, carved in my name
[Chorus]
Selling dreams, selling hopes, in the shadows we cope
Climbing on these ropes, just to stay afloat
It's the hustle, the muscle, keeping me afloat
In the struggle, we juggle, that's the code, that's the oath
[Verse 2]
From sunrise to sunset, never forget
Every move, calculated, gotta place my bet
The weight of the world on my shoulders, I get
But I rise, keep my eyes on the serpent’s threat
[Pre-Chorus]
Grind heavy, never petty, push through the pain
Stakes high, gotta grind, can't entertain the shame
Money coming fast, but I know the game
Fighting for respect, carved in my name
[Chorus]
Selling dreams, selling hopes, in the shadows we cope
Climbing on these ropes, just to stay afloat
It's the hustle, the muscle, keeping me afloat
In the struggle, we juggle, that's the code, that's the oath
[Bridge]
Never trust the fake, keep your circle small
Every move reflective of the rise or the fall
Stay sharp, stay real, answer your call
In the streets, you either ball or crawl
[Outro]
Lessons learned in the darkness, aiming for the light
Every day a fight, doing what’s right or right
Hustle hard, break the night, reach the height
This is my story, my fight, my right
