[Intro]
Clock in, clock out
Still broke, still proud
Got mud on my name and a blunt in the loud
[Verse 1]
Back hurt, hands cut, steel toes on
Eight days straight, still holdin’ strong
Paycheck short but the rent ain’t waitin’
Boss man talk like I ain’t been slavin’
Lunch in a bag and a strap in the truck
Oil-stained jeans and a heater for luck
Ain’t from the city, I’m raised in the grit
Where the rich wear suits and the broke don’t quit
[chorus]
Work boots, dirty bills,
Still got dreams in these backwoods hills
Grind all week just to float them lights
Trap don’t sleep when the jobsite might
Wrench in my hand, but I still get thrills
From stackin’ that cash and payin’ these bills
Work boots, dirty bills,
Ain’t no shame in the way I live
[Verse 2]
Got a side hustle runnin’ out the shed
Sellin’ scrap and a lil’ bit of med
Callused palms, but the trigger stay ready
Got a .38 tucked in my lunchbox steady
Crew stay strapped like we work for the mob
Hard hats on with a blue collar job
This ain’t no flex, it’s survival mode
We mixin’ drywall dust with a heavy load
[chorus]
Work boots, dirty bills,
Still got dreams in these backwoods hills
Grind all week just to float them lights
Trap don’t sleep when the jobsite might
Wrench in my hand, but I still get thrills
From stackin’ that cash and payin’ these bills
Work boots, dirty bills,
Ain’t no shame in the way I live
[Verse 3]
Raise up early, sleep when I drop
Gas station coffee, heart beatin’ non-stop
Got a crew full of killers in hi-vis vests
And they’ll split your shit if you bring that mess
But we’d rather just grind, rather just build
Keep food on the table, boots in the field
Respect ain’t earned from a Gucci tag
It’s in concrete pours and a duffle bag
[chorus]
Work boots, dirty bills,
Still got dreams in these backwoods hills
Grind all week just to float them lights
Trap don’t sleep when the jobsite might
Wrench in my hand, but I still get thrills
From stackin’ that cash and payin’ these bills
Work boots, dirty bills,
Ain’t no shame in the way I live
[Outro]
Clock in, clock out
Still broke, still proud
I got work in my b***d and I say it loud
