Hunger In My Veins

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)
