Rise and Grind

Yeah... 5 A.M. ... the city's still sleepin' ... but we ain't ... let's go ...

I wake up before the sun got a permanent climb

Every thought that I think got a dollar sign line

Ain't no handouts given, you define your own prime

I'm chiselin' my future one punchline at a time

They were talkin' 'bout a dream while I was plannin' the grind

Now I'm redefinin' what ambition looks like in its prime

Stumble, fall, get up, that's the sacred design

Pressure makin' diamonds, see my silhouette shine

Never chasin' sleep, I've been chasin' a vision

Every minute that I waste is a stolen ambition

Turn the struggle to a beat, now I'm on a new mission

If you ain't talkin' work, then I'm not even listenin'

We rise and we grind, on my mind, on my mind

Gotta put in, put in, put in, it's our time, it's our time

We rise and we grind, redefine, every line

Never quit, never stop, watch me shine, watch me shine

They addicted to applause, I'm addicted to the craft

Every setback's just a setup for a greater laugh

I've been cut, I've been stitched, now I'm sewin' up the map

Every word is a brick, and I'm buildin' to the last

While they're scrollin', I'm controllin' what becomes of the past

Future lookin' bright 'cause I designed the contrast

Hunger never fades, it's a permanent blast

I'm the author of my story, and I'm finishin' it fast

Never chasin' sleep, I've been chasin' a vision

Every minute that I waste is a stolen ambition

Turn the struggle to a beat, now I'm on a new mission

If you ain't talkin' work, then I'm not even listenin'

(Yeah!) We rise and we grind, on my mind, on my mind

Gotta put in, put in, put in, it's our time, it's our time

(Let's go!) We rise and we grind, redefine, every line

Never quit, never stop, watch me shine, watch me shine

This ain't luck, this is labor, this is midnight oil burnin'

Lessons from the bottom that the money ain't learnin'

Every step that I took was a page that I'm turnin'

Now the fire's so high even heaven is yearnin'

Put it in ... put it in ... RISE.

We rise and we grind, on my mind, on my mind

Gotta put in, put in, put in, it's our time, it's our time

We rise and we grind, redefine, every line

Never quit, never stop, watch me shine, watch me shineRise and grind ... rise and grind ...

Put in ... put in ...

Shine ... shine ...
