[Verse 1]
Miguel clocked in, boots scuffed, same routine,
Dust on his hands, but his heart stays clean.
Whispers in the shadows, daggers in the mist,
They throwing stones, but he got iron fists.
Stacking bricks while they stacking their lies,
He builds futures, they build alibis.
Grime on his palms, dreams in his chest,
Miguel don’t fold, he’s the weight on the press.
[Chorus]
Miguel rise up, every single day,
They talk, they hate, but he don’t sway.
Miguel rise up, while they all decay,
He works, he wins, come what may.
[Verse 2]
Backbone of the grind, spine of the crew,
They sling mud, he makes cement from the goo.
Sweat drips like ink, writes his own name,
Miguel's hustle burns brighter than their shame.
He hears the whispers, yeah, he hears the noise,
But he turns it to fuel, his inner voice.
“Let ‘em talk, let ‘em doubt, let ‘em scheme,”
Miguel’s blueprint ain’t part of their dream.
[Chorus]
Miguel rise up, every single day,
They talk, they hate, but he don’t sway.
Miguel rise up, while they all decay,
He works, he wins, come what may.
