Grind Don't Sleep

[Verse]
Cold nights, hoodie tight, shadow moves in the glow,
Streetlights flicker, heart colder than the snow.
Fast cash in my hand, smell the risk in the air,
Every knock on the door, could be death or despair.
Wolves in the pack, loyalty’s a test of the bite,
Snakes slither close, whispers cut through the night.
Eyes in the back of my head, mirror check every block,
Trust is a loaded gun, safety off on the Glock.
[Chorus]
Grind don't sleep, ain't no peace for the real,
Pressure on my neck, heavy chains, heavy steel.
Fast life spins, every wheel’s a roulette,
Bet it all on ambition, no regrets, no sweat.
[Verse 2]
Phone buzz, deals move quicker than the rain,
Paper stacks high, but the soul feel the strain.
Dreams of the top, skyscrapers in the haze,
But the climb’s full of scars, dirty hands, smoky maze.
Paranoia my shadow, it follows every step,
Enemies in the mirror, can’t forgive or forget.
Bulletproof my mindset, armor made of my sins,
Every loss in the streets turns a boy into a king.
[Bridge]
Clock ticks slow, but the nights go fast,
Future in the rearview, haunted by the past.
I see faces in the fog, whispers in the air,
Is it friends, is it foes? Nobody plays fair.
