Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Alarm ring, dark room, eyes burn Pack my lunch, throw on my steel toes, slow turn Same uniform , same stains, year ten Clock card, swipe in, fake grin Fluorescents hum over bent backs Supervisor barking out facts "Pick up pace," like I'm not spent Whole paycheck gone before rent [Chorus] Blue collar grind never dies (never dies) Same sore feet, same gray skies (gray skies) But I still show up, still rise Punch out, clock in, repeat lives Blue collar grind, bloodshot eyes I’m too damn tired to romanticize But I still show up, I still rise Punch out, clock in, dead tired [Verse 2] Hands cracked, cheap soap, cold sink Microwave dinner, quick drink Kids homework spread on the couch Trying not to black out Group chat wild, "let’s slide tonight" I text “next time,” they know that lie Steel in my bones from this line But rust in my dreams, can’t shine [Chorus] Blue collar grind never dies (never dies) Same sore feet, same gray skies (gray skies) But I still show up, I still rise Punch out, clock in, repeat lives Blue collar grind, bloodshot eyes I’m too damn tired to romanticize But I still show up, I still rise Punch out, clock in, dead tired [Bridge] Who gon’ build that store? Who laid down that road? Who froze every night Just to keep your house warm? We’re ghosts in the back Name tags, hair nets, pale light But every drag of my breath Is one more fight, one more fight (yeah) [Chorus] Blue collar grind never dies (never dies) Same sore feet, same gray skies (gray skies) But I still show up, I still rise Punch out, clock in, repeat lives Blue collar grind, bloodshot eyes I’m too damn tired to romanticize But I still show up, I still rise Punch out, clock in Punch out, clock in Dead tired, still rise [Guitar Solo]
