[Verse 1]
Alarm screams
Five a.m. darkness
Same steel boots
Same sore back
Clock in
Grease on my fingers
Boss walks by
Eyes on his stack
[Chorus]
I break my hands for every dollar
Every stain on this shirt is mine
They price my sweat like it’s a bargain
But I know
I know I’m worth the grind
Yeah I’m worth it
Worth every scar they’ll never find
[Verse 2]
Blue smoke
Lunch in the parking lot
Cold fries
Paycheck already gone
Rent raised
Groceries on credit
News says
“Everything’s fine”
[Chorus]
I break my hands for every dollar
Every stain on this shirt is mine
They price my sweat like it’s a bargain
But I know
I know I’m worth the grind
Yeah I’m worth it
Worth every scar they’ll never find
[Bridge]
I’m not your number
Not your line on a chart (hey!)
I’m the backbone bending
Holding up what falls apart
Raise my voice
Over engines and alarms
If this world won’t pay my value
It’ll still choke on my resolve
[Chorus]
I break my hands for every dollar
Every stain on this shirt is mine
They price my sweat like it’s a bargain
But I know
I know I’m worth the grind
Yeah I’m worth it
Worth every scar they’ll never find
(Yeah I’m worth it)
Worth every scar they’ll never find
