Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Alarm at 5, subway screech through the thin light
Cracked pavement prayers, neon halos on a late-night fight
Grandma's name on my wallet, mentor's voice in my ear:
"Count the small wins, kid — keep the vision clear."
First show packed twenty, first check barely two digits
Posted on the stoop, we celebrated like big kids
Street smells of rain, hot pretzels and elbow grease
I learned to flip the cold nights into pieces of peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Tension coils, breath held, rise like steam
Hands on the wheel, I'm chasing yesterday's dream
Beat builds tight, heartbeat syncs with the snare
Climb the bar, light breaks — I'm almost there
[Chorus]
Rise and grind — this is my story
City mine, every night I shine
Rise and grind — claim the glory
Keep the pace, steady climb
[Verse 2]
Late trains say my name, graffiti maps where I roam
Concrete classrooms taught me how to hustle, how to hone
A mentor said, "Write truth, not just rhymes for the charts"
So I tattooed his words into the corners of my heart
Dodged bad deals, paid small bills, learned the ledger and the loss
Turned a corner store dream into my own crossroads
Loss tasted metallic; wins felt like summer rain
Now my pen pays for the light that used to warm my name
[Bridge]
This is the turn — from survival to design
I flip every shadow, stitch the scars into a line
Reveal: I ain't just chasing checks, I chase keeps
Built a ladder from the nights I couldn't sleep
Now the rooftop view returns the favor back to me
I plant my flag where the late trains used to leave
[Rap Break / Punchline Verse]
Concrete scholar, dollar scholar, word collars on my syllables
I move like rent days and late plays, lyrical miracles
Benchmarks: broke nights, bright lights, flight fights in my chest
I invest verses like interest — compound and manifest
Street cred with a ledger, hustle braided with honor
From corner cipher whispers to mainstage thanks and sponsor
Punchlines hit like subway stops — sudden, loud, exact
I map out every loss, flip it, profit, then extract
[Chorus — Final]
Rise and grind — this is my story
City mine, every night I shine
Rise and grind — claim the glory
Keep the pace, steady climb
[Outro]
So I walk past the block where the echoes taught me to stand
Pay respect with a nod, tuck my past into my plans
A skyline stitched from late trains and mentor advice
I rise, I grind, I keep my city in my hands
