lyrics

CM
Dream chasing is never easy, some make it seem so

But not for me ma, so I focus hard on being a pro

And you know (when your lights go down)

I'm up late night tyring to spark some sign of life

Into this grind of mine, someday it'll all pay off

More headaches, more fans, more dough be the trade off

No sleep but (when your lights go down)

You're comfortably under the sheets while I listen to beats

Or creating my own diddies for myself or my peeps

It's been a long time coming trying to make ends meet

Gotta eat but (when your lights go down)

You're preparing for your own grind, we're both trying to make moves

My mind wheel stay spinning, thoughts be providing

All the fuel that I need to keep my dream striving

Regardless how impossible it all seems right now

I'm so focus on creating something to go rock the crowd, you know how I do....


HOOK
(I gotta keep moving from place to place)

Stay on my hustle and my grind, knowing that in due time

We gonna have our turn to shine but meanwhile

I'mma put in work just like I always do

And put myself in a position to make big moves

I don't do just for me, it's always about us

So if I'm not home tonight, I know I have your trust


SUBSTANTIAL

Girl I'm out here on my grind, cliche

Trying to make the world press rewind to replay

My highlights, 'til we live the highlife

With minimum "alrights", ain't thinking 'bout 5 mics

I'm working on things that don't fit in a stanza

Too big to be limited with proper grammar, Nah'talkin' bout

9 to 5 can't confine my grind, I surpass that

25/8 stay creating this HAZMAT

Just ask cats, in vast rap books I stash crack

In the form of vocab, black. This fast track

Might leave your ass flat. Individuals that slack

Have never been I, so forever he grind

That's why I been on it, our lives depend on it

Don't tell you what to do, I just show you how it's done

Be back by the morning, just keep my plate warm

In case I'm dope as "number 2", I gotta be number one!

At least in your eyes...

JAVIER STARKS

I tell her its true, you can look inside your heart (He'll be back)

Playing the role he designed to, so I don't need to remind you

If I shine you shine too so (when your lights go down) I'm gone,

got a lot on my plate other hustlers gotta relate!

I'll be back don't cry boo wipe your eyes (He'll be back)

With a shoulder lean on, hold you in these arms...

Women tryna lock me down, feds wanna lock me up

Because I'm up and coming down to grind, super fly, kinda cocky but darling

I'm all in, call (He'll be back)

To patiently converse and say your favorite three words

Daily he at work so (when your lights go down)

Stacking stacks so you can turn'm back on in the morning

I love it when you laugh at me (He'll be back)

Whether you sad or you mad happy through battles I scrap glady

No challenge's a challenge, honest I promise i'ma provider,

Provide your desires got it de nada mami just ask daddy...

You have me but sadly...
