Rise & Grind

Blood on my hands under neon light

Sweat paints the floor in the dead of night

Sacrifice echoes loud in my chest

Building a life better than the rest

Chasing the stars while the city sleeps

Climbing the mountain so dark and steep

Every stumble builds the fire inside

I won't let my dreams roll out and hide

Rise and grind the fire’s alive

Feel the pulse of the beating drive

Blood and tears they're worth the fight

For a dream that ignites the night

The lows hit hard like a rogue tide wave

But there's no glory in a shallow grave

The grind’s unkind but there's beauty here

In every scar in every tear

Victory hums in the morning air

Whispers of wins scattered everywhere

The highs and lows they tattoo my skin

All for the chance one day to win

Steel in my heart metal in my veins

Running through storms breaking through chains

Alive in the struggle bright in the fall

This dream I chase is worth it all
