Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Yeah We earn it out here Every scar, every callous Talk to ‘em [Verse 1] I came up Nails black, palms split Concrete kisses on my knuckles Every shift a fistfight with the clock Stitches on my chin From the years I kept fallin' Still I bit down, stood up Spit rust, kept crawlin' They laugh at the grind But they soft in the middle Keyboard killers throw stones Hands cleaner than a whistle You don't know that winter When the rent came late And I shoveled out the driveway Just to feel my weight [Chorus] This that blood, sweat, tears Not that pretty boy stance Built from sufferin' and years I got calloused hands I put my fear in the dirt Turned my pain into plans You call it luck, I call it work These are calloused hands (yeah) [Verse 2] I held boxes, bricks Buckets full of mix Back shot, spine tight Still I punched that tick Mama workin' double Eyes red, breath short I was out runnin' side jobs Tryna pay child support So miss me with the flex ‘Bout a chain and a brand I measure you in blisters Not in likes on the ‘Gram You brag 'bout comfort I brag 'bout scars You chase little checks I’m reachin' for bars [Chorus] This that blood, sweat, tears Not that pretty boy stance Built from sufferin' and years I got calloused hands I put my fear in the dirt Turned my pain into plans You call it luck, I call it work These are calloused hands (calloused hands) [Bridge] You ever taste iron Drippin' down your lip? Keep swingin' anyway Tight fist, strong grip (hey!) You ever lose everything Still show up on ten? If the answer is yes You my family then [Chorus] This that blood, sweat, tears Not that pretty boy stance Built from sufferin' and years I got calloused hands I put my fear in the dirt Turned my pain into plans You call it luck, I call it work These are calloused hands (yeah) These are calloused hands
Tags
rap, Gritty underground boom-bap, swung drums and dusty sample chops. Male vocals, close and aggressive, with doubled lead in the hook. Sparse bass under the verses; hook widens with gang vocals and sharp ad-libs. Subtle vinyl grit and a rising siren effect in the bridge to push intensity.
