[Verse]
Started in the basement, now the penthouse glow,
Dirty kicks on the grind, now designer toes show.
Used to scrape for change, now my pockets overflow,
Never lost the roots, where the love still grows.
[Chorus]
Do the mahi, get the treat, that’s the mantra I repeat,
Hustle every single day, till the work feels complete.
Tell my fam, I ain't changed, still the same heartbeat,
Movin' up, but my soul stays tied to the street.
[Verse 2]
Sweat drips, clock ticks, nights colder than the fridge,
Now the city’s skyline stretchin’ wide like a bridge.
Invested in the pain, now the dividends big,
From the dirt I arose, now the crown fits the gig.
[Chorus]
Do the mahi, get the treat, that’s the mantra I repeat,
Hustle every single day, till the work feels complete.
Tell my fam, I ain't changed, still the same heartbeat,
Movin' up, but my soul stays tied to the street.
[Bridge]
Grandma’s prayers still floatin’ in my chest,
Every L turned a lesson, now I’m feelin’ blessed.
Climbed the ladder, but I never forget the rest,
My people, my blood, the ones who knew me best.
[Verse 3]
Bent backs, calloused hands, that’s the life I know,
Planted seeds in the struggle, now the harvest shows.
Roots deep, but the branches reach the skies and grow,
Promise every step forward, I’ll never let it go.
