Yeah
Uh-huh
We back in the basement Check the clock
Cold concrete where the shadows don't play We write the manual on
how to survive the grey
No handouts, just a pen and a pad Turning every single loss
into the best that we had Scraping by,
but the vision is gold
A hundred stories that have never been told
(tell 'em)
This is the grind we know Heavy footsteps on the pavement below
We build it high from the dirt on the floor Knocking down
the wall when they close up the door (yeah)
Dust off the notebook,
pages are torn Another champion from the concrete is born
We don't bend to the weight of the crown Keep our feet
on the floor while they're spinning around Just a mic and a
dream in a room
Waiting for the winter roses to bloom (uh-huh)
This is the grind we know Heavy footsteps on the pavement below
We build it high from the dirt on the floor Knocking down
the wall when they close up the door (we knocking it down)
Yeah
Keep the tape running
Just a kid from the pavement (shhhhh)
