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
