Back on my grind

Hook (x2)

Back on my grind, punch the clock, make the night mine

Streets hum the beat, heart sync with the baseline

Back on my grind, old school soul with a new shine

Payin' dues in the dark, now I step up, it's my time

Verse 1

Woke up to the boom-bap, vinyl dust on the sleeve

Crate diggin' for truth in a city that won't leave

Gold chain memories, but the hunger stayed real

Mama said hustle humble, papa taught me to feel

Cipher on the stoop, spit lessons in the cold

Notebook full of visions, every line another fold

Sleepless on the late shift, dreams stamped in my mind

Stooped backs, bright caps, but I'm clockin' in this time

Hook (x2)

Back on my grind, punch the clock, make the night mine

Streets hum the beat, heart sync with the baseline

Back on my grind, old school soul with a new shine

Payin' dues in the dark, now I step up, it's my time

Verse 2

MPC knockin', loop heartbeat like thunder

Producer nods slow — we build verses from wonder

Respect ain't borrowed, it's earned with every rhyme

No fast lanes, just long nights and borrowed time

From the corner store cyphers to the booth with the light

We polish raw diamonds, turn struggle into flight

I seen fakes fade fast, watched true heads survive

Now I'm cashin' minutes for minutes, every hustle's alive

Bridge / Scratch Interlude

"Mic check, one-two" — scratch, rewind, come through

Clock hands keep spinnin' but I'm stickin' to my groove

Echoes of the past in the kick-snare rhyme

Turntables tell stories, we just narrate in time

Verse 3

No more sideline sittin', no more quiet despair

I lace up like champs, fightwiththin' the glare

Paper chase steady, but I'm chasin' respect

A hundred small wins stackin' up what I collect

Neighbors hear the verses, block lights nod in time

Old heads tap the dash, youngins mimic the line

Every setback was tuition, I took notes in the grind

Now the streets chant my chorus when I step past the line

Hook (x3)

Back on my grind, punch the clock, make the night mine

Streets hum the beat, heart sync with the baseline

Back on my grind, old school soul with a new shine

Payin' dues in the dark, now I step up, it's my time

Outro

Clockin' out's for the weak, clockin' in's for the brave

Turn the boom-bap up, ride this hustle to the grave

Back on my grind, yeah — alumni of the midnight fight

We write history in scratches and neon light.

Porque music

See you when I see you
