{sub-bass roll-in} Yeah, we moving in silence {snare hit,
ticking
hi-hats}
Early morning, late night,
same grind Counting every dollar,
chasing after what is mine From the concrete corner to the penthouse
view
They don't understand the work I had to put through No handouts,
no favors, just blood on the stone Building an empire entirely alone
(strictly business) They sleep while we working
Behind the velvet curtain
(work, work) {guitars swell under
vocals} I'm a self-made hustler,
standing in the rain
Turning all the struggle directly into gain
No time to rest,
yeah, we run this town
They can try to pull us but we're never going down (never
down)
{anthemic synthesizer layer} Stacking up the lessons from the bottom to the
peak Silence in my circle,
we don't need to speak
Every single move is calculated and precise If you want the crown,
you gotta pay the price
(pay the price)
No time for the talking,
we let the numbers run Never stopping till the whole job is
done {808 drops out on last line} {low-pass filter on beat} Nobody
saw the vision when it was small
Now they call my line but I won't answer the call
(no way) {drum rolls build back up}
I'm a self-made hustler,
standing in the rain
Turning all the struggle directly into gain
No time to rest,
yeah, we run this town
They can try to pull us but we're never going down (never
going down,
yeah)
{full orchestration peaking} Yeah,
we built this from the dust
In ourselves we trust {synth
fade out, final ticking clock
sound}
