"The Grind Don’t Lie" (Verse 1) I’m workin’ hard, but you don’t see the benefit, see? Sweat on my brow, still they doubtin’ my G. Up late nights, while they sleepin’ carefree, I’m chasin’ dreams, man, it ain’t come free. Clockin’ in hours, like I’m punchin’ the time, Brick by brick, yeah, I’m buildin’ the climb. They don’t see the hustle, just the dirt and grime, But when I shine, they gon’ act like it’s mine. (Hook) Workin’ hard, payin’ dues in the dark, When the lights come on, they’ll see my spark. They don’t see the pain, they don’t see the start, But the grind don’t lie-it’s a work of art. (Verse 2) They wanna talk, but they don’t walk the same road, Carryin’ weight, man, I’m takin’ the load. Every setback just a part of the code, ‘Cause success ain't sweet if the hustle ain’t bold. Day in, day out, I’m plantin’ the seed, Dreams take time, and the work’s what it needs. They look for shortcuts, but I got the creed, Hard work pays off, yeah, I’ll take the lead. (Hook) Workin’ hard, payin’ dues in the dark, When the lights come on, they’ll see my spark. They don’t see the pain, they don’t see the start, But the grind don’t lie-it’s a work of art. (Bridge) They can’t feel the weight of the nights I cried, Or the times I fell, but I still got up and tried. They don’t see the fire burnin’ deep inside, When my moment comes, they’ll be shocked I survived. (Outro) So I keep on pushin’, though the world won’t get it, My path ain’t easy, but I’ll never regret it. When I reach the top, they’ll see the benefit, see? The grind’s my truth, and the proof is me.
