Prompt / Lyrics
Intro Yeah… De great on the beat From nothing to something Late nights, no sleep Listen… Hook (Chorus) I don’t need no handouts, I grind for my name Cold heart, clear mind, still burning the flame They was laughing when I started, now they calling my phone I built this from the dust, yeah I did it alone No handouts, no love when I was broke Now the same ones smiling wanna sit in my zone I remember every night when the lights went low Now I shine every day, yeah the whole world know Verse 1 Came up from the corner where the hope felt thin Dreams in my head but the doors locked in Mama said “pray,” streets said “sin” So I learned real quick how to lose and win Empty pockets but my vision was rich They doubted the hustle, tried to label me “itch” Same road, same pain, I ain’t switching my lane I turn scars into bars, turn struggle to gain I’ve been hungry so long I made friends with the pain Every loss was a lesson, every tear was a gain I don’t flex for the clout, I flex ‘cause I survived Still breathing, still fighting, still aiming for the sky Hook (Chorus) I don’t need no handouts, I grind for my name Cold heart, clear mind, still burning the flame They was laughing when I started, now they calling my phone I built this from the dust, yeah I did it alone No handouts, no love when I was broke Now the same ones smiling wanna sit in my zone I remember every night when the lights went low Now I shine every day, yeah the whole world know Verse 2 I’ve been real since day one, never fake my tone If I eat, my people eat, that’s the code I’m on Pressure made diamonds, I’m proof of the grind Had to lose fake love just to sharpen my mind They see the glow but they missed the dark Missed the prayers in silence, missed the broken heart Every step was heavy but my soul stayed strong I was writing my future when they said I was wrong Now it’s stages and lights, still humble inside Same kid from the block, just a different ride I don’t talk too much, I let actions speak I was built in the storm, I was raised by defeat Bridge Yeah… If they ain’t with me when it’s raining They can’t stand next to me when it’s sunny Hook (Chorus) I don’t need no handouts, I grind for my name Cold heart, clear mind, still burning the flame They was laughing when I started, now they calling my phone I built this from the dust, yeah I did it alone No handouts, no love when I was broke Now the same ones smiling wanna sit in my zone I remember every night when the lights went low Now I shine every day, yeah the whole world know Outro From the bottom to the top, no shortcuts, no cheat If you want this life, better grind and believe No handouts… Only hard work.
