[Verse 1]
Hands full of diamonds, mind full of debt
Grinning in the mirror, but my soul upset
Running on the treadmill, chasing the flex
Hood dreams sold wholesale, cash to collect
Chain heavy, thoughts light, drowning in the glow
Spent the rent on the drip, but the water don't flow
Pockets on swole, but the fridge looking lean
A circle of poverty, chasing broken dreams
[Prechorus]
Flashing for the 'Gram, but the struggle ain't gone
Self-sabotage a drug, and I'm too far gone
[Chorus]
Grinding backwards, chasing shadows in the dark
Hood mentality, but it's tearing me apart
Flashing gold, but the soul stay stealth
Focused on the show, not building the wealth
Grinding backwards, yeah, running in place
Flashing a smile, but the pain in my face
[Verse 2]
Mama told me, "Stack it," but the hood said, "Spin"
Trying to build a kingdom, but I'm stuck in the sin
Pyramid schemes, got my ladder in reverse
Climbing up quick, till I'm six feet in the dirt
