[Verse 1] I came up with dust on my shoes Old screen door, cold black news Mama said, "Baby, keep your head up" I was broke, still dressed like I was fed up Late bus ride, two jobs deep Hands all cracked, no time for sleep They said, "Sit down, stay low, stay small" I took the long road through it all [Pre-Chorus] Now I taste that rain Turn it into gold I been through the pain Still I never fold [Chorus] Shine and grind I do both Shine and grind Watch me go Through the night I keep my flame Shine and grind Say my name (shine and grind) [Verse 2] New scars hidden under clean clothes Still the same me, you should know Count my losses like a blessing line Every dead end taught me how to climb I don't need a handout now I built my own way out From the floor to the edge of the sky I learned how to live when the hurt ran dry [Pre-Chorus] Now I taste that rain Turn it into gold I been through the pain Still I never fold [Chorus] Shine and grind I do both Shine and grind Watch me go Through the night I keep my flame Shine and grind Say my name (shine and grind) [Bridge] Took the falls, took the hits Still I came back lit If I bend, I don't break I was made for this [Chorus] Shine and grind I do both Shine and grind Watch me go Through the night I keep my flame Shine and grind Say my name (shine and grind)
