[INTRO – LOW, MENACING]
Yeah…
They love the glow
But they don’t know the grind behind it
808 rumble… let it breathe
⸻
[HOOK – OPENING]
No sleep in the sunshine
Up late with the bloodshot eyes
Still grind, still grind
Whole life on a thin line
No sleep in the sunshine
Can’t rest when the clock don’t stop
Still mine, still mine
Built this from the baseline
⸻
[VERSE 1 – CONTROLLED FLOW]
Six feet from the edge but I’m steady
Mind sharp, hands heavy
Back then they weren’t ready
Now they all act friendly
South side heat in the bloodstream
Cold nights built the routine
No silver spoon, no dream team
Just hunger and a big scheme
Smile small but I move big
Whole circle eating how I live
Never folded when it got thick
Pressure turn a boy to a brick
⸻
[VERSE 2 – FAST TRIPLET SECTION]
Riding around with the windows tinted
Mind on a mission, I never rented
Came independent, reinvented
Every intention they misinterpreted
Broke-broke, no joke
Low hope, throat smoke
Fast life, no brakes
High stakes, don’t choke
Run it up, run it up, never enough
Cutting the weight and I’m shedding the bluff
Ready to rumble, I live in the rough
Diamonds are made when the pressure is tough
Minute to minute I pivot and flip it
The critics be talking, I never get timid
Independent dependent on none of they mentions
I built it from tension, I live in ascension
⸻
[VERSE 3 – EXTENDED, DARKER]
AC broke but the drive wasn’t
Now it’s cold but the mind buzzing
Funny how the shine coming
Still feel like the time running
Money talk but it whisper fake
Seen smiles crack under pressure weight
Seen friends fold for a better plate
I learned early how to separate
Back in the day it was ramen and rain
Now it’s filet but the hunger the same
Carry the scars but I bury the pain
Bury the pain but it carry my name
Tick-tick time on the wrist, don’t slip
Big risk, big flip, still stiff upper lip
Whole clique lit but the trust stay thin
Win big, still feel boxed in
⸻
[BRIDGE – STRIPPED, PARANOID]
I don’t sleep easy
Even when the money right
Every time I close my eyes
I replay every fight
You ever win big
But still feel small?
Like the higher you climb
The harder you fall
⸻
[FINAL HOOK – FULL ENERGY]
No sleep in the sunshine
Up late with the bloodshot eyes
Still grind, still grind
Whole life on a thin line
No sleep in the sunshine
Can’t rest when the clock don’t stop
Still mine, still mine
Built this from the baseline
⸻
[OUTRO – FADE WITH 808S]
They see the shine
They don’t see the nights
No sleep…
Still grind…
