[Verse 1] I came up with the moon in my face Still wore my scars like a chain You saw me hungry at the gate Now you want my whole name I was counting every loss in the rain Hands cracked from the climb You put your hand on my chest Said, "Boy, you were gold all the time" [Pre-Chorus] So I shine when I grind You know I do it for you Every bruise on my mind Turned to something brand new I don't sleep on the dream I keep it living for two If the world wanna press me down I'ma rise right through [Chorus] Shine and grind, that's me Shine and grind, that's us Hold me close, don't blink I'm the flame in the dust Shine and grind, shine and grind I was made for this touch You my reason to rise You my reason to lust [Verse 2] Late nights, cold floor, same goal Motel glass, cheap wine You said my voice sound like hope Even when I was half alive I take the hurt and I make it look right I take the dark and it glows When I pull up in your mind You can see how far I go Told me, "Stay with your fire" So I kept my promise tight Now the whole room bends when I move Like I brought the sky to life [Pre-Chorus] So I shine when I grind You know I do it for you Every bruise on my mind Turned to something brand new I don't sleep on the dream I keep it living for two If the world wanna press me down I'ma rise right through [Chorus] Shine and grind, that's me Shine and grind, that's us Hold me close, don't blink I'm the flame in the dust Shine and grind, shine and grind I was made for this touch You my reason to rise You my reason to lust [Bridge] If I fall, pull me back Don't let my fire go thin I was built from the cracks And your love got under my skin When the night gets loud And the whole world feels rough I don't break, I just burn I just burn for us [Chorus] Shine and grind, that's me Shine and grind, that's us Hold me close, don't blink I'm the flame in the dust Shine and grind, shine and grind I was made for this touch You my reason to rise You my reason to lust
