[Intro]
Ayy...
This ain't luck.
Every scar got a receipt.
Every dollar got a story.
[Chorus]
Profit vs. Pain, what it cost to be the man?
Blood on the blueprint, money in my hand.
Smiles come cheap, but the nights don't change.
Every win got a price, that's the profit and the pain.
Profit vs. Pain, I still carry both.
Toast to the highs, survive through the lows.
Built this from the dirt, now they scream my name.
But I remember every ounce of the pain.
[Verse 1]
City lights hit the windshield, I'm still wide awake.
Can't let the pressure fold me, got too much at stake.
Dreams don't come wrapped up with a guarantee.
Sometimes you gotta bet on who you're meant to be.
Every closed door made another route.
Every loss turned the fire up without a doubt.
They see the chain, they don't see the scars.
They see the glow, they don't know the dark.
I kept moving when the road got rough.
Turned every "you can't" into "that's enough."
Now the table turned, everybody wanna eat.
Funny how success make old enemies speak.
[Pre-Chorus]
I paid my dues.
I wore my wounds.
Now every sunrise feel like breaking news.
[Chorus]
Profit vs. Pain, what it cost to be the man?
Blood on the blueprint, money in my hand.
Smiles come cheap, but the nights don't change.
Every win got a price, that's the profit and the pain.
Profit vs. Pain, I still carry both.
Toast to the highs, survive through the lows.
Built this from the dirt, now they scream my name.
But I remember every ounce of the pain.
[Verse 2]
Can't buy peace, can't pawn regret.
Some battles leave marks you never forget.
Still I walk with my head held high.
Storms made me stronger, I don't ask why.
The mirror tell truths that the crowd never will.
Real strength ain't loud, it's climbing uphill.
If tomorrow calls, I'm answering again.
Same heart, same hustle, thicker skin.
[Outro]
Profit... or pain.
Sometimes you get both.
Sometimes the crown feels heavier than the gold.
But if I made it through yesterday...
I'll make it through tomorrow.
Profit vs. Pain 2.
