[Intro]
Yeah
Mellow on the beat, just me and my thoughts
No flash, no fake, just keep it raw
[Verse 1]
Woke up early, sun just hit the pane
Same old life, but I ain’t complainin’
Pen in my hand, beat in my head
Tryna make a livin’ off the words I said
A lot of fake love, a lot of cold shoulders
Learned the hard way, keep the circle smaller
Grind in the silence, don’t need the spotlight
Hustle in the dark, let the work shine bright
Been in the trenches, now I’m on the rise
Seen the highs and lows, stuck to my roots
Family on my mind, peace is my reward
Ain’t chasin’ clout, I just chasin’ my life
[Chorus]
Quiet grind, steady pace
Cole world, mellow vibe
Heart on my sleeve, no disguise
Real life rap, straight from the inside
Slow it down, keep it true
Every bar’s for me and for you
Quiet grind, steady pace
This the life I choose, this the life I make
[Verse 2]
They want the flashy cars, the shiny chains
I just want a calm heart, less pain
Write from the soul, not from the trend
Not just songs, these are my friends
Late nights alone, speakers low
Thinkin’ ’bout the ones that had to go
Lessons in the pain, wisdom in the struggle
Stay humble still, no matter the level
I don’t do the cap, I don’t do the fake
Keep it 100, that’s how I operate
Small wins add up, big dreams stay real
Stackin’ up the peace, not just the bills
[Bridge]
Sometimes it feel like the world movin’ too fast
I slow it down, let the moment last
Jazz in the background, pen to the pad
This the kind of peace that I ain’t never had
No need for the hype, no need for the crowd
Just me and my thoughts, loud and proud
Conscious in the rap, honest in the verse
This is who I am, this is my universe
[Chorus]
Quiet grind, steady pace
Cole world , mellow vibe
Heart on my sleeve, no disguise
Real life rap, straight from the inside
Slow it down, keep it true
Every bar’s for me and for you
Quiet grind, steady pace
This the life I choose, this the life I make
[Outro]
Yeah
Mellow, steady, raw
Cole world, never fall
Quiet grind, till the day I fall
Peace, love, words, all
