[Verse 1] Clock in with a scar on my smile Still I walk like I own the tile One hand full of cold hard plans Other hand got a shine from the band Rent due, but I’m paid in focus Eyes up, yeah, they notice, notice Every bruise turned into a badge Every doubt I left in the past [Pre-Chorus] I been low, I been down Now I move like a sound Not a word, just a flame Catch my name, catch my name [Chorus] Shine and grind, shine and grind I was built for this life Shine and grind, shine and grind Gold on my sleeve tonight Shine and grind, shine and grind I don’t fold, I don’t hide Shine and grind, shine and grind Watch me rise, watch me rise (Shine and grind) (shine and grind) [Verse 2] Late shift, I’m counting my wins Mud on my sneakers, diamond skin Phone lit up, but I don’t chase I make the room lean when I walk in place Mama said, “Girl, keep your head high” So I stitched that truth in my outline If the road gets steep, I climb If the world gets cold, I shine [Pre-Chorus] I been low, I been down Now I move like a sound Not a word, just a flame Catch my name, catch my name [Chorus] Shine and grind, shine and grind I was built for this life Shine and grind, shine and grind Gold on my sleeve tonight Shine and grind, shine and grind I don’t fold, I don’t hide Shine and grind, shine and grind Watch me rise, watch me rise (Shine and grind) (shine and grind) [Bridge] Let them stare while I build my throne Soft hands, but the will is stone One more step, then the whole place knows I can bloom in the cracks they close [Chorus] Shine and grind, shine and grind I was built for this life Shine and grind, shine and grind Gold on my sleeve tonight Shine and grind, shine and grind I don’t fold, I don’t hide Shine and grind, shine and grind Watch me rise, watch me rise (Shine and grind) (shine and grind)
