Heart of the Hustle

I’ve been grindin’, I’ve been hustlin’, tryna stack my change,

Heart cold, but I’m lit, they can’t match my flame.

From the bottom, now I’m risin’, had to break those chains,

Lost some people on the way, but the pain still remains.

Money callin’, I ain’t stoppin’, I’m in love with the race,

Got the world on my back, you can see it in my face.

Through the struggle, I’ve been fightin’, had to find my lane,

Now it’s diamonds on my wrist, I ain’t hidin’ the pain

Came up from the mud, I been stuck in my ways,

Heart cold as the streets, got me countin’ these days.

Tryna balance all this pain, but the money don’t wait,

Enemies on my trail, but I’m stayin’ in place.

I’ve been runnin’ from my demons, tryna keep it together,

Hard nights in the rain, I done walked through the weather.

They don’t know about the scars, they just see all the chains,

But this ice on my neck never numb out the pain.

Yeah, the fam gotta eat, so I’m all in the grind,

Seen too much in my life to be wastin’ my time.

I done put my trust in people just to watch them betray,

So I’m dolo in the cut, tryna stack what I made.

I’ve been grindin’, I’ve been hustlin’, tryna stack my change,

Heart cold, but I’m lit, they can’t match my flame.

From the bottom, now I’m risin’, had to break those chains,

Lost some people on the way, but the pain still remains.

Money callin’, I ain’t stoppin’, I’m in love with the race,

Got the world on my back, you can see it in my face.

Through the struggle, I’ve been fightin’, had to find my lane,

Now it’s diamonds on my wrist, I ain’t hidin’ the pain

Lotta hate in my city, but they still wanna follow,

Keep a Glock on my side, case the pain feelin’ hollow.

Mama told me, “Boy, you gifted, don’t you waste what you got,”

So I’m out here makin’ moves, I ain’t post on the block.

All this pressure got me heated, I can’t chill for a second,

Feel like every step I take, there’s a new lethal weapon.

Tryna fight for my soul, but the devil keep callin’,

Tryna stand up real tall, but the streets got me fallin’.

They ain’t see me in the dark when I was losin’ my head,

Now I’m up, and they actin’ like they bled where I bled.

I just keep my circle tight, watch for snakes in the crowd,

I’m a king in my zone, tryna make myself proud

I’ve been grindin’, I’ve been hustlin’, tryna stack my change,

Heart cold, but I’m lit, they can’t match my flame.

From the bottom, now I’m risin’, had to break those chains,

Lost some people on the way, but the pain still remains.

Money callin’, I ain’t stoppin’, I’m in love with the race,

Got the world on my back, you can see it in my face.

Through the struggle, I’ve been fightin’, had to find my lane,

Now it’s diamonds on my wrist, I ain’t hidin’ the pain
