[Verse 1]
Clock in
Sun’s down
Clock out
Sun’s up
Fourteen hours straight
Just me and this luck
Same faces
Fake grins
Handshake
Then the cut
Smiles at my front door
Knives in my gut
Said “we a team
” right?
Funny how it ends
They share my secrets
I just share my rent
I gave ‘em everything
They gave me a show
Talking in circles
Thought I’d never know
[Chorus]
I been working through the pain
Through the pain (yeah)
Long days
Long nights in my lane
Used to have a heart
Now it’s stone in my chest
Had to lose that trust just to give my best
I don’t need new friends
I’m good on my own
If you weren’t in the dark
You won’t see my glow
Twelve
Fourteen
Grind till I’m bones
I stayed real
You changed
Now I’m cold as stone (cold as stone)
[Verse 2]
Break room
Blank stares
All teeth
No soul
They toast when I’m there
Then hope that I fold
Heard my name in rooms
I ain’t ever walked in
Plans that I built
Used as their option
Used to take it personal
Lose so much sleep
Now I treat it like weather
Rain gonna be rain on the street
So I stack these hours
Like bricks in a wall
Every scar
Every rumor
Just making me tall
[Chorus]
I been working through the pain
Through the pain (yeah)
Long days
Long nights in my lane
Used to have a heart
Now it’s stone in my chest
Had to lose that trust just to give my best
I don’t need new friends
I’m good on my own
If you weren’t in the dark
You won’t see my glow
Twelve
Fourteen
Grind till I’m bones
I stayed real
You changed
Now I’m cold as stone (cold as stone)
[Bridge]
I ain’t bitter
I’m better
Cut the ropes
Lost the weight
You can whisper
Whatever
I’m too busy staying late
Yeah
I switched up
Toughened
But I kept my soul
You turned on me for nothing
I turned pressure into gold (into gold)
[Chorus]
I been working through the pain
Through the pain
Long days
Long nights in my lane
Used to have a heart
Now it’s stone in my chest
Had to lose that trust just to give my best
I don’t need new friends
I’m good on my own
If you weren’t in the dark
You won’t see my glow
Twelve
Fourteen
Grind till I’m bones
I stayed real
You changed
Now I’m cold as stone
