Yeah, yeah
Enemies, they plotting for the nightmares and the dreams
Grinding non-stop, we own our fate
Living large from crumbs we ate
Sneakers snuffed, running from past ghosts unseen
Fiends on the corner, eyes empty, hearts mean
Made it to the tower where the eunuchs gleam
But still, we remember every single crack scene
Life's a game of chess, pawns, knights, and kings
But in this hustle, every player got rings
No crock away, head down, always pushing sling
From dirt to diamonds, hear the choir sing
Roll deep with the homies, kicking shadows aside
Writing graffiti, painting struggle and pride
Melody of sirens syncopated with life's beat
Every rhyme and story, these scars ain't discreet
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You ain't never talk
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I never talk
Yeah, dropped, dropped out of school but got degrees in hustling
Flipped that dough, yeah, now we really bustling
No pen and paper, still writing the script
Struggle script, coppers on our tail
Gotta give them the slip
From the gutter to the top, rising like steam
Enemies that climb, turn nightmares into dreams
Grinding non-stop, we own our fate
Living large from crumbs we ate
Sneakers snuffed, running from past ghosts unseen
Fiends on the corner, eyes empty, hearts mean
Made it to the tower where the eunuchs gleam
But still, we remember every single crack scene
Life's a game of chess, pawns, knights, and kings
But in this hustle, every player got rings
No crown can weigh, head down, always pushing sling
From dirt to diamonds, hear the choir sing
From dirt to diamonds, hear the choir sing
