Intro
Stomach growl, that’s a war drum
Wide awake ‘til the work done
Eyes red from the late run
Still I’m coming for the great ones (yeah)
Verse 1
I was raised on the pressure, heavy
Turn crumbs into plates, I’m ready
They was praying I would break, I didn’t
Turn doubt to a blade, I’m swinging
Cold nights, no heat, I remember that
Two shirts, one dream, had to live with that
Now I pull up like “who gon’ take it?”
Every loss that I took, I shaved it, made it
Chorus
Hunger in my veins, I can’t tame that
Power in my hands, I won’t trade that
Tear another chain, I might break that
Tell ‘em don’t blink, I won’t fade back
Hunger in my veins, I can’t tame that
Power in my hands, I won’t trade that
Every single doubt, I erase that
If it ain’t respect, I don’t take that (nah)
Verse 2
They talk loud, but they move slow
I move quiet, let the proof show
Every scar on my name, that’s credit
Every line that I write, that’s leverage
I was eating on the floor, had to balance it
Now the table too long, can’t manage it
If they ask how I rose, say “violently”
Clawed out the dark, now it’s mine to keep (yeah)
Bridge
Beat drops out
Who gon’ stop me? name them
Left me starving, I became this
Look in my face, see the flame lit
I ain’t asking for a place, I’m taking it (taking it)
Chorus
Hunger in my veins, I can’t tame that
Power in my hands, I won’t trade that
Tear another chain, I might break that
Tell ‘em don’t blink, I won’t fade back
Hunger in my veins, I can’t tame that
Power in my hands, I won’t trade that
Every single doubt, I erase that
If it ain’t respect, I don’t take that (yeah)
