[Intro] Yeah Young Dreamer, Vision Seeker Mastermind in motion Ayy, this that real feel Turn me up… [Verse 1] All I know is early grind, late nights, no regrets Spillin’ ink up on the page, treat my notepad like a check Mama told me, "Go and get it," I ain’t folded on her yet Now I'm movin' through these levels, I ain’t seen a ceiling yet Used to write in basements, now I rhyme in flight mode Used to dream on dial-up, now I talk in milestone I was fifteen scribblin’ visions with no budget Now I manifest with rhythm, every beat I touch I crush it That’s real — I ain't flexin’ for attention Got my city on my back and my purpose in my sentence Had to learn the patience, now I'm sharpened with the cadence Had to fall in love with losin’ just to rise inside the greatness [Chorus] Grind don’t lie, I been workin’ every day (Every day) Same old dream, just a whole new way (New way) They used to say I’d never get no play Now they play me back-to-back like I’m Jordan in the day Yeah — grind don’t lie, check the vision and the pace Still the same kid scribblin’ bars in the crate Now I’m leveled up, still humble with the faith All this work I put in? It was never by mistake Nah — grind don’t lie [Verse 2] I'm the one they overlook, but the pen ain't never slept Wrote my life into existence, I don't do it for a check Every syllable a step, every line another brick This foundation built in pain, but the structure hella rich Got rejected, got ejected, but I stayed in the lane Wasn’t born with nothin’ special — just a focused-ass brain I ain’t here to talk drip, I ain't here to chase fame I'm just tryin’ to make my fam proud and carve out my name I remember scribblin’ flows when I ain't have heat Now the booth feel like home when I step in the beat Had to fight with my thoughts, had to box with depression Now I’m floatin’ on these verses like I’m teachin’ y’all a lesson, uh [Chorus] Grind don’t lie, I been workin’ every day (Every day) Same old dream, just a whole new way (New way) They used to say I’d never get no play Now they play me back-to-back like I’m Jordan in the day Yeah — grind don’t lie, check the vision and the pace Still the same kid scribblin’ bars in the crate Now I’m leveled up, still humble with the faith All this work I put in? It was never by mistake Nah — grind don’t lie [Verse 3] I don't rap for a trend, I don't cap for a like I spit truth with intention, every bar is my life From the hallway cyphers to the sold-out sets I been ten toes in, not a single regret I was that kid in the lunchroom, notebook packed Now I'm in studios worldwide spittin' facts Told my circle, "Keep it tight, I don’t move with the fake" ‘Cause the love be conditional when you raisin’ the stakes Yeah — they gon’ doubt until they can't They gon’ hate until they fans But I don’t do this for approval, I just do this for the plan So the next kid starin’ out his window with a dream Knows you ain’t need clout to build a legacy supreme [Outro] Grind don’t lie
