Verse 1

Steel toes in the snow, yeah the shift start early

Cold wind cut deep but the grind stay dirty

Sun ain’t even up, sky dark like the tar

Truck lights glowing while I’m lighting this cigar

Motherfuckers talk big but they never felt frost

Hands numb on the wheel while the whole world lost

I ain’t built for the office, I was built for the mud

Blue collar motherfucker, got diesel in my blood

⸻

Hook

Cold hands, hard work

Fuck luck, I earn mine first

Snow falling on the damn job site

Still grinding through the long ass night

Steel toes hit the frozen ground

North side where the real ones found

Cold hands, hard work

⸻

Verse 2

Black man in the cold where the winters bite back

Got grit in my soul, got a dream in the stack

From the rigs to the road, from the mud to the mic

Now I’m carving my lane while they watch from the side

They ain’t see the cold mornings scraping ice off glass

Or the long ass shifts when the paycheck pass

Yeah the grind get rough but the hustle stay mean

From the north to the world yeah you know what I mean

Hook

Cold hands, hard work

Fuck luck, I earn mine first

Snow falling on the damn job site

Still grinding through the long ass night

Steel toes hit the frozen ground

North side where the real ones found

Cold hands, hard work
