Earned Not Given

Yeah

Woke up hungry, pain still in my spine

I don't chase dreams, I drag 'em into line

Blood in my knuckles, dirt in my name

They play for fun, I play for the flame

Eyes on the target, tunnel vision tight

I ain't here to talk, I'm built to fight

They say I'm too much yeah, that's the plan

Can't be average when you're the man

I grind for mine, earned not given

Took the hits, now I'm still driven

No handouts, no easy livin'

I bleed, I burn, earned not given

(earned not given)

(tik-tik-tik, yeah clock's still ticking)

Crushed under doubt, rose from the dust

I ain't got luck, I just got guts

Midnight hustle, sunrise flex

Can't fake hunger, can't fake reps

You want the crown? You pay in pain

You want results? Then train insane

They said quit, I said, "Try me"

Now they watch me move like lightning

I grind for mine, earned not given

Took the hits, now I'm still driven

No handouts, no easy livin'

I bleed, I burn, earned not given

(earned not given)

(tik-tik-tik, yeah clock's still ticking)

Clock's ticking, tik-tik-tik ticking

Pressure rising, and I'm still kicking

No cheat codes, no shortcut living

Every scar I got, earned not given

I grind for mine, earned not given

Took the hits, now I'm still driven

No handouts, no easy livin'

I bleed, I burn, earned not given

(tik-tik-tik, yeah clock's still ticking)
