[Verse] Midnight grease on the griddle, steam in the air, Sweat on my neck, but Iām breathing heavy, no fear. Copper coins ring, orders fly like fire, But my mind's on the stage, reaching higher. Serving eggs with a soul, fries with a beat, Every shift a step toward my dream street. The clock's a liar, says Iām stuck in the grind, But Iām building my empireājust one more time. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the apronās worn, but the flameās still bright, Iām the quiet storm under neon light. They see the kitchen, they donāt see the crownā This grindās the fuel, Iām about to be found. [Chorus] Iām grinding on the line, but Iām chasing the sky, Every burn on my hands is a line Iāll fly. From the diner to the mic, Iām rising, Iām real, This aināt just servingāthis is my wheel. Iām building my empire on every shift, With a heart of iron and a dream thatās still swift. Iām grinding on the lineāwatch me rise, From the back of the house to the spotlightās eyes. [Verse] The coffeeās bitter, but my visionās clean, Script in my head while I'm cleaning the screen. Tired eyes, but my soul's wide awake, Every night a verse, every breath a break. I trade the silence for the shout, Turn the clatter to a sound Iāve dreamed about. They say āStay low,ā but Iām drawing the map, With every fry I fry, Iām stacking my trap. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the apronās worn, but the flameās still bright, Iām the quiet storm under neon light. They see the kitchen, they donāt see the crownā This grindās the fuel, Iām about to be found. [Chorus] Iām grinding on the line, but Iām chasing the sky, Every burn on my hands is a line Iāll fly. From the diner to the mic, Iām rising, Iām real, This aināt just servingāthis is my wheel. Iām building my empire on every shift, With a heart of iron and a dream thatās still swift. Iām grinding on the lineāwatch me rise, From the back of the house to the spotlightās eyes. [Bridge] They donāt know the words I write in the steam, The lyrics I whisper while I clean the dream. This grease-stained soulās got a voice in the flame, And every orderās a verse Iām reclaiming. Iām the chef of my fate, the king of my lane, The one who turned the grind to a chain of fame. From the floor to the crown, Iām the name theyāll repeatā Iām the fire behind the plate, and Iām real, Iām beat. [Chorus] Iām grinding on the line, but Iām chasing the sky, Every burn on my hands is a line Iāll fly. From the diner to the mic, Iām rising, Iām real, This aināt just servingāthis is my wheel. Iām building my empire on every shift, With a heart of iron and a dream thatās still swift. Iām grinding on the lineāwatch me rise, From the back of the house to the spotlightās eyes. [Outro] Yeah, the grillās still hot, but my soulās on stage, Every shift an anthem, every turn a page. Iām the voice in the kitchen, the light in the darkā This is my grind, and this is my spark. Mic in hand, Iām breaking the dawn, From the dinerās low to where Iām drawn. Iām grinding. Iām rising. Iām free. Iām the dreamāborn in the kitchen, meant to be.
