Oh-oh

I know it wasn’t easy

But it made me who I am

Aye

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

All of that pressure just sharpened my mind

All of them nights I was losing my shine

Turned all that pain into purpose and pride

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

You threw the shade, but I needed the climb

I had to fall just to learn how to fly

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

I was down bad, tryna make it through the rain

Smiling on the outside, inside full of pain

Had people switch up, had people act strange

But every hard lesson put fire in my veins

I ain’t mad no more, I just learned from the scars

Had to find my own light when the world got dark

They counted me out, I was counting my heart

Now I’m building from the bottom, tryna leave my mark

Haters gon’ talk, but they don’t know the cost

They don’t know the nights I was feeling so lost

They don’t know the prayers, they don’t know what I fought

They just see the glow, not the battles I walked

So I thank ’em for the pressure

Thank ’em for the doubt

Thank ’em for the times they tried to count me out

I needed every loss just to figure me out

Now I know what I’m about

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

All of that pressure just sharpened my mind

All of them nights I was losing my shine

Turned all that pain into purpose and pride

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

You threw the shade, but I needed the climb

I had to fall just to learn how to fly

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

I don’t chase fake love, I just stay on my path

Had to cut some people off, had to leave ’em in the past

I was moving too fast, had to slow down and laugh

God gave me a vision, now I’m doing the math

Had to grind for my family, had to grind for my name

Had to turn all my losses into fuel for the flame

I ain’t worried ’bout haters, I done been through the shame

Now the same ones watching wanna know how I changed

I was built in the struggle, I was made in the storm

Had to lose who I was just to be reborn

Now I walk with a purpose every time I perform

Cold world, warm heart, still keeping it strong

Thank you for the nights I cried

Thank you for the times I tried

Thank you for the ones who lied

You helped me see the truth inside

Thank you for the doors that closed

Thank you for the pain I chose

Thank you for the seeds I sowed

Now I’m watching how it grows

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

All of that pressure just sharpened my mind

All of them nights I was losing my shine

Turned all that pain into purpose and pride

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

You threw the shade, but I needed the climb

I had to fall just to learn how to fly

Thank you, thank you for helping me grind

Thank you, thank you

For helping me grind

Yeah

You helped me grind

Oh-oh
