[Verse] Late nights, street lights, lessons in my pops’ eyes Grinding through the silence, where the real hustle lies Respect’s the currency, earned not given free Every step we take’s built on legacy Clock ticks, work slips through the cracks of tired hands Sweat drips, life scripts written in these demands Hold tight to the rhythm, steady in this game Survival ain’t a chance, it’s the price of our name [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Boy, learn the beat, don’t trip on defeat" "Keep your moves on the low, patience makes you complete" We rise with the dawn, though the night's never done In the struggle, in the rhythm, that’s where we become [Chorus] It’s the rhythm of work, respect, and survival Every day’s a battle, every move is vital Keep your head held high, let the heart stay true Pops taught me how to walk, now I’m passing it on to you It’s the rhythm of work, respect, and survival Standing tall through the dark, every step, it’s tribal With the pace of the night, in the shadows we grew Pops taught me how to walk, now I’m passing it on to you [Verse] Lessons in the silence, echoes in the night Words sharp as the city, cutting through the fight Harmony in struggle, voices weave and mend Two tales, one rhythm, where the roots never end Moves quick, mind sharp, lessons never gone Every dawn’s a remix from the times we’ve drawn Taught me how to balance work and wake Respect the grind, know what’s real, never fake [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Boy, learn the beat, don’t trip on defeat" "Keep your moves on the low, patience makes you complete" We rise with the dawn, though the night's never done In the struggle, in the rhythm, that’s where we become [Chorus] It’s the rhythm of work, respect, and survival Every day’s a battle, every move is vital Keep your head held high, let the heart stay true Pops taught me how to walk, now I’m passing it on to you It’s the rhythm of work, respect, and survival Standing tall through the dark, every step, it’s tribal With the pace of the night, in the shadows we grew Pops taught me how to walk, now I’m passing it on to you [Bridge] In the quiet, in the grind, hear the lesson unwind The pulse beats steady, the soul’s design No shortcuts, no lies, just the climb Legacy’s rhythm, beyond space and time [Chorus] It’s the rhythm of work, respect, and survival Every day’s a battle, every move is vital Keep your head held high, let the heart stay true Pops taught me how to walk, now I’m passing it on to you It’s the rhythm of work, respect, and survival Standing tall through the dark, every step, it’s tribal With the pace of the night, in the shadows we grew Pops taught me how to walk, now I’m passing it on to you [Outro] Keep the rhythm close, like the words he spoke Work hard, stay real — that’s no joke In the late night hush, hear the story flow Pops' rhythm’s in us, steady as we go
