[Verse 1]
Alarm on buzz
Sun not up
Old mug
Chipped lip
Still sip
No rush
Bus stop breeze
Shoes scuffed
Still tied
Pocket lint
Two bills
Big hope
Small pride
I clock in quiet
Name tag
Straight spine
Ain’t rich
I’m tryin’
To keep my soul aligned
[Chorus]
I’m just out here
Clean living
Quiet grind
Head down
Both feet on the line
I don’t need the flash
Just time
Just time
I water what I’ve got
And watch it rise
Clean living
Quiet grind
[Verse 2]
Brown-bag lunch
From the night before
Text Ma
“you good?”
She say
“God got more”
Scroll past lies
Quick flips
Fast lanes
I choose slow rows
Deep roots
Light chains
Paycheck thin
But my word stay thick
Shake hands
Look close
That’s my little trick (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m just out here
Clean living
Quiet grind
Head down
Both feet on the line
I don’t need the flash
Just time
Just time
I water what I’ve got
And watch it rise
Clean living
Quiet grind
[Bridge]
Coulda chased shortcuts
Shaved off truth
But I sleep real deep
‘Cause my hands stay cute
Every “no” I carry
Like a stone in my shoe
Keeps me walking honest
Keeps me walking through (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m just out here
Clean living
Quiet grind
Head down
Both feet on the line
I don’t need the flash
Just time
Just time
I water what I’ve got
And watch it rise
Clean living
Quiet grind
