Hungry Arteries (Version 2)

Intro

Shadow on my jawline

Grind in my arteries

Teeth on the deadline

Blood full of strategy

Verse 1

I was eating dust off a paper plate

Now I keep a plan on a dinner date

Clock on my neck, that’s borrowed time

But I sharpen every second like a razor line

Talk big game, never did the proof

I was in the cold, tryna fix the roof

Hands on the brick, whole day, both shifts

Now the name on the deed and the door don’t shift

Chorus

Hunger in my veins, that’s power

Turn a dark day to a gold hour

When the world says “stop,” I go louder

I want it, I take it

I want it, I take it

Hunger in my veins, that’s power

Built from the dirt, not a tall tower

When the fear creep in, I grow prouder

I want it, I take it

I want it, I take it (yeah)

Verse 2

Eyes wide open, I don’t blink in war

Every little loss just a keeping score

Talk behind screens, never seen that door

I was out late tryna clean that floor

Now I split checks with the same few

Who was in the kitchen when the rain came through

Stomach made of iron, I digest pain

Turn it to a strategy and ice this game

Breakdown

Cut the sound, let the throat talk

I came from the crack in the asphalt

Hunger made a weapon of my pulse

Every single “can’t” was the catapult (hey!)

Chorus

Hunger in my veins, that’s power

Turn a dark day to a gold hour

When the world says “stop,” I go louder

I want it, I take it

I want it, I take it

Hunger in my veins, that’s power

Built from the dirt, not a tall tower

When the fear creep in, I grow prouder

I want it, I take it

I want it, I take it
