Lyrics

Hard days, cold nights, still grindin'
Pain in my chest, but I'm out here survivin'
Phone still ringin', these plates still slidin'
Tears in my eyes, but you know I'm still ridin'
I was broke, heart split, swear to God it was dark
Had to bag up my tears, now I'm servin' this hard
Love don't live here, my ****, it packed up and dipped
Now it's demons in my mind when I'm flippin' a zip
They don't know about them nights I was prayin' for change
Had a hole in my chest, had a hole in my brain
Only thing that stayed solid was the scale and the flame
Tried to bury all my feelings underneath all this game
Mama told me, "Boy, you better stay off that corner"
But the bills got louder and the nights got colder
I ain't trappin' for respect, I'm just trappin' for closure
Put my soul in a pack and I flipped it over
Had to mask all the pain just to get a little older
Had to ice out my wrist just to feel a bit bolder
Lost friends to the streets, lost love to the hate
Now it's me and my sins steady fightin' my fate
I was drownin' in the deep, had to swim with the sharks
Put my life in a bag, put my tears in the dark
Ain't no love where I'm from, just some scars and some chains
Tryna break from the cycle, but it run through my veins
I ain't ask for this life, it just fell on my shoulders
Now I'm weighin' my dreams on this broken Toyota
And **** dream to see an M or the 'Rolla
And put they moms in a new Benz or a Rover
Hard days, cold nights, still grindin'
Pain in my chest, but I'm out here survivin'
Phone still ringin', these plates still slidin'
Tears in my eyes, but you know I'm still ridin'
Hard days, cold nights, still grindin'
Pain in my chest, but I'm out here survivin'
Phone still ringin', these plates still slidin'
Tears in my eyes, but you know I'm still ridin'
Heart heavy, but I carry it light on my sleeve
All these losses turn to lessons that I gotta believe
Mom said, "Boy, you either break or you build"
So I'm stackin' up my trauma just to add to the field
Coast West, late nights, steady fightin' these dreams
Every dollar that I touch got a crack in the seams
Tryna patch up my soul with a blunt and a scheme
But the pain still leak through the cracks in between
Ain't no handouts here, just some wishes and prayers
Had to gamble with my life just to even the layers
If I make it out the mud, they gon' call it a feat
But they ain't see the nights I bled and laid on my feet
Pressure bust pipes, ****, but it made me a soldier
Had to fight through the storms just to stand on my own, bruh
People smile in your face but be plottin' your fall
So I keep one in the head and my back to the wall
Used to cry to the skies, beggin' God for a sign
Now I'm numb to the pain, feel the hurt in my spine
All these scars that I carry like a badge on my chest
Still I lace up my shoes and I run with the best
Talkin' pain, talkin' hunger, talkin' nights with no rest
Talkin' dreams on a plate with a side of regret
I ain't perfect, but I'm real and that's more than they got
Put my faith in my hustle, put my trust in this Glock, yeah
Hard days, cold nights, still grindin'
Pain in my chest, but I'm out here survivin'
Phone still ringin', these plates still slidin'
Tears in my eyes, but you know I'm still ridin'
Hard days, cold nights, still grindin'
Pain in my chest, but I'm out here survivin'
Phone still ringin', these plates still slidin'
Tears in my eyes, but you know I'm still ridin'
