[Verse]
Grinding every day, dreams in my lunchbox
Road full of cracks, still dodging them punk rocks
Hustle got muscle, lifting life with them dumbbells
Shona wisdom steady, kunyaka kunouya nemoto spell
[Chorus]
Hard work pays off, that's the gospel
Climbing to the top, dodging every obstacle
Ndarangarira, moyo wakashinga haurovi
Success in my grip, can't nobody control me
[Verse 2]
In the jungle, I'm Tarzan swinging with no fear
Turning sweat to gold, diamonds from these tears
Ndichakunda kwese, chero kusina nzira
Huroyi hwemoyo wangu, kuziva hakuna mutema
[Bridge]
Mngandiro ya life, I’m lacing my kicks tight
Chakakosha kuziva, Rome wasn’t built overnight
Blood, sweat, tears—currency to the kingdom
Staying steady on track ka-speed raka rhythm
[Chorus]
Hard work pays off, that's the gospel
Climbing to the top, dodging every obstacle
Ndarangarira, moyo wakashinga haurovi
Success in my grip, can't nobody control me
[Verse 3]
Time is my canvas, painting dreams with these strokes
Failures fuel the fire, all I need is more smoke
Ndine tariro, hope ichipenya semi-star
Pressure makes kings, diamonds where struggles are
