Lyrics
[Intro]
Up before the morning calls
Boots by the door, back against the wall
[Verse 1]
Quarter to five, coffee burns my tongue
Lunch in a paper bag, day already begun
Thermos in the truck, frost on the glass
Punch that clock, make the hard hours pass
Boss wants miracles, rent wants its due
Everybody’s got a mouth when they’re talking to you
But I know what I lift, I know what I build
I keep this whole town running on a stubborn will
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t mistake quiet for weak
I’ve got a week’s worth of fire underneath
[Chorus]
We’re up before the sun rises
Hands split open, paying our prices
No, we ain’t dealing with anyone’s shit
Stand in our way, better move real quick
We put food on the table, steel in the frame
You take our labor, remember our name
Blue-collar blood, blue-collar grit
Up before the sun, and we don’t quit
[Verse 2]
Steel-toe boots and a back that aches
Every dollar earned is a choice we make
Rain through the collar, dust in the teeth
Still show up when the rest find reasons to leave
I’ve seen slick suits promise what they never give
Seen a tired old machine outwork the way they live
So keep your cheap advice and your polished little grin
We don’t need your permission to win
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t mistake sweat for shame
We built the road beneath your name
[Chorus]
We’re up before the sun rises
Hands split open, paying our prices
No, we ain’t dealing with anyone’s shit
Stand in our way, better move real quick
We put food on the table, steel in the frame
You take our labor, remember our name
Blue-collar blood, blue-collar grit
Up before the sun, and we don’t quit
[Bridge]
When the siren cuts the dark
When the first truck leaves the yard
When the whole world’s still asleep
We’re the promise that we keep
No handout, no borrowed spine
What’s mine is earned, what’s yours is fine
Just don’t cross that line today
We’ve got work, get out the way
[Final Chorus]
We’re up before the sun rises
Hands split open, paying our prices
No, we ain’t dealing with anyone’s shit
Stand in our way, better move real quick
We put food on the table, steel in the frame
You take our labor, remember our name
Blue-collar blood, blue-collar grit
Up before the sun, and we don’t quit
[Outro]
Before the sun
The work gets done
Blue-collar blood
We don’t quit

Style
Rap-rock anthem at 96 BPM with punchy live drums, distorted drop-tuned guitar riffs, gritty bass, and a rough male vocal alternating between tight rhythmic verses and a shouted melodic chorus. Start with a stark alarm-clock-and-guitar-hit intro, build verses with palm-muted guitars and clipped hi-hats, explode into wide power-chord choruses with gang vocals, add a half-time bridge, then finish on a final chant. Dry upfront vocal, aggressive midrange guitars, tight low end, slightly raw rehearsal-room edge, polished enough for radio.
