Veins of the Grind

Shadows creep on empty corners Dreams weigh heavy like the night Chasing ghosts of better tomorrows Under flickering streetlight Pockets empty, heart on fire Grinding through the endless rain Whispers of the wild I know Pulling me into the chain Every step a calculated risk Dodging pitfalls in the dark Building empires from the ashes Leaving scars that never mark Friends turn foes when the hunger bites Low to your fragile breath Butter eyes from the dirt Fist clenched tight Words unstrapped, life calling Heavy bass in my veins 808s booming Breaking all the chains High hats dancing like the rain on the roof Stairs snapping sharp Chasing away the truth From the struggle to the shine We hustle through the pain Auto-tune my cries Turn the loss into gain Yeah we trap for the thrill In the night we survive Booming beats remind us We're barely alive Nights blend in the morning Scales tip with every deal Ambition's blade cuts deep But the wound don't heal Brutal stings like venom From the ones I call my own Material flick But the crown sits alone Pity's grip loosening But the echoes still remain Comfort fade to silence Leaving nothing but the strain Violence lurks in every shadow Survival's my only creep Hustling for the light Planting every seed Trap life calling Heavy bass in my veins 808s booming Breaking all the chains High hats dancing like the rain on the roof Stairs snapping sharp Chasing away the truth From the struggle to the shine We hustle through the pain Auto-tune my cries Turn the loss into gain Yeah we trap for the thrill In the night we survive Booming beats remind us We're barely alive Slow it down, feel the weight The melancholy in the air Sympathize, it whispers secrets Of the battles that we bear One wrong move And it all crumbles down But the fire inside Keeps me holding the crown Tires echo in the bass Aggressive pulse in my soul Muted nights turn to dawn Making broken hope Flames like glass Under pressure's cruel hand The whispers build walls But the heart don't understand From the bottom to the ambitions Relentless drive Tragedy but I'm broken In the trap we drive Nightmares rage on But I navigate the flood Offset, change, shadow Replaced by golden blood Every clap and roll Pushes me further ahead In this life of snares and bass But living in the dead Trap life calling Heavy bass in my veins 808s booming Breaking all the chains High hats dancing like the rain on the roof Snares snapping sharp Chasing away the truth From the struggle to the shine We hustle through the pain Auto-tune my cries Turn the loss into gain Yeah we trap for the thrill In the night we survive Booming beats remind us We're barely alive Fade out slow The high hats trail away Trap life echoes In the light of a new day Thanks for watching!
