Dead Tone

**(Chorus)** Grind so hard, my biggest fear is dying on my own Every chain around my neck represents a milestone Now the same ones calling me just tryna get a loan Only answer that they getting is a dead tone **(Verse 1)** Flashbacks to the block, younger days, skipping class Rollin' up with the crew, tryna make the moment last Duckin' cops, livin' fast, yeah we gave a damn about 'em Dark liquor in the cup, turned the noise up louder No degree, highly hated, but we finally made a way Every check a celebration, feel like my belated day Lock it in, write the verse, mix it down, press release Bout to drop the whole project, yeah I’m breaking the lease Said I’m crazy, said I’m reckless, but I’m locked on the goal Spent a lifetime building what you couldn't control From the food stamps to the top floor views Turned a section eight house to a headline news **(Chorus)** Grind so hard, my biggest fear is dying on my own Every chain around my neck represents a milestone Now the same ones calling me just tryna get a loan Only answer that they getting is a dead tone **(Verse 2)** Back at it, same energy, circle stay tight Overnight, everybody wanna step in the light Fake love in the comments, know it's all a facade They just lurking for a moment while I'm workin' with God Foreign whip, black card, told 'em get their budget up When the pressure hit the highest, we ain't ever folding up Swapped the basement for the stadium, the stream counts high No affiliations needed, made it on my own drive Even icons had haters, gotta clear out the noise Keep the focus on the vision, leave the talk to the boys Still the same from the jump, never changing the lane Put the soul in the music so they feeling the pain **(Chorus)** Grind so hard, my biggest fear is dying on my own Every chain around my neck represents a milestone Now the same ones calling me just tryna get a loan Only answer that they getting is a dead tone **(Outro)** I been working non-stop, tryna find my piece of mind Running out of time... *(Voicemail beep)* *"Hey, it's your sister.
