歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Iron bars on the fire escape Counting copper for a higher stake Shadows moving in a tired shape Finding ways to cut the tape Little brother wants to play a game I just tell him I don’t know his name Focused on the flicker of the flame While the hustle keeps us feeling tame He’s tugging on my worn-out sleeve But I got no time to just believe Got a vision that I must achieve Before the landlord asks us both to leave [Chorus] Grind 'til the gears stop turning Watch while the bridge is burning Trading your soul for a silver coin Losing the ones you were meant to join The hustle is a hollow lie Watch the beauty of the world go by We’re chasing shadows in the dark Trying to find a flickering spark [Verse] Cracked windows in the studio Motivational speakers on the radio Talking 'bout the way the money flow While the seeds of sorrow start to grow Sleep is for the weak, the posters say Trading every night to buy the day But the color’s turning into grey As we watch the family fade away Six figures in a digital dream While we’re bursting at the living seam Nothing’s ever really what it seem When you’re drowning in the mainstream [Chorus] Grind 'til the gears stop turning Watch while the bridge is burning Trading your soul for a silver coin Losing the ones you were meant to join The hustle is a hollow lie Watch the beauty of the world go by We’re chasing shadows in the dark Trying to find a flickering spark [Verse] Marcus at the counter, five to nine Employee of the Month, looking fine But the gold upon the plaque don't shine When the medical bills cross the line Pockets empty but the ego's full Caught inside the system's heavy pull Wrapped in synthetic, expensive wool While the reality is cold and cruel He stares at the plastic frame Forgetting why he even came Just a player in a rigged game With a debt he can’t even name [Bridge] Break the cycle of the lonely climb Give the people back their stolen time Success is more than just a perfect rhyme Or a mountain made of nickel and dime Hold the hand of someone in the rain Find a purpose in the shared pain We don't need to stand alone On a cold and empty throne [Verse] Trade the frantic for a quiet breath Before the labor leads us to a death Check the neighbor in the hallway light Make sure everybody’s doing right Community is where the power stays In the middle of the neon haze Let the fire of the ego blaze Until we find the ancient, better ways Put the phone down, feel the beat Of the people walking on the street That’s the only wealth we need to meet To make the victory truly sweet [Chorus] Grind 'til the gears stop turning Watch while the bridge is burning Trading your soul for a silver coin Losing the ones you were meant to join The hustle is a hollow lie Watch the beauty of the world go by We’re chasing shadows in the dark Trying to find a flickering spark [Outro]
