Still I try

**NICO FRIAS — “GRIND”**

**[Intro]**
Nico…
Yeah…
They only see the shine, they don't see the pressure.
I learned the grind ain't punishment—
It's proof you want it bad enough.

**[Hook]**
I grind like the sun when it's fighting through the rain,
Turned my losses into lessons, turned my pressure into gain.
Had my back against the wall, now I'm building me a lane,
They was waiting on me to fold, I was sharpening my game.

**Grind, grind, grind—**
Ain't no elevator where I'm going, took the stairs.
**Grind, grind, grind—**
Had to build it from the ground like I planted it in dirt.
**Grind, grind, grind—**
Every scar became a medal, every struggle paid a price.
If they ask me how I made it—
Tell 'em **grind.**

**[Verse 1]**
I came from empty pockets, had a pocket full of dreams,
Life gave me lemons, I made lemonade and squeezed.
Had to learn the hard way, pressure make diamonds,
So I welcomed every problem like the struggle was designed.

I was sleeping on my worries, waking up with ambition,
Had to turn my pain into a business proposition.
I don't chase the spotlight, I just chase progression,
'Cause a seed don't make excuses when it's buried in depression.

I put my heart in every bar, now the bars got weight,
Had to cook without a kitchen, made a meal from the plate.
They thought I was at rock bottom—I was building from the base,
Now I'm laying every brick like I'm constructing my fate.

**[Hook]**
I grind like the sun when it's fighting through the rain,
Turned my losses into lessons, turned my pressure into gain.
Had my back against the wall, now I'm building me a lane,
They was waiting on me to fold, I was sharpening my game.

**Grind, grind, grind—**
Ain't no elevator where I'm going, took the stairs.
**Grind, grind, grind—**
Had to build it from the ground like I planted it in dirt.
**Grind, grind, grind—**
Every scar became a medal, every struggle paid a price.
If they ask me how I made it—
Tell 'em **grind.**

**[Verse 2]**
I made a promise to myself: I won't die with what-ifs,
Got a mountain on my shoulders, still I'm climbing with it.
Pressure tried to crack me, I became a different crystal,
Now my vision getting clearer every time I face an issue.

I don't need a shortcut, shortcuts cut the journey,
I learned patience from the nights when nobody heard me.
Had to water my potential when the world wouldn't believe,
Now I'm growing through the concrete like a flower through the street.

Punchline—
**I was down to my last, but I never lost count,
'Cause every dollar taught me what my struggle was about.**

They see the destination, never studied the route,
I turned “you can't” into fuel and put the pedal to the ground.

**[Bridge]**
If I fall, I get up.
If it breaks, I rebuild.
If the door stays locked,
I'm coming through with the key to my will.

I ain't looking for a handout,
I'm reaching for the throne.
Had to walk through the dark
Just to learn how to glow.

**[Final Hook]**
I grind like the sun when it's fighting through the rain,
Turned my losses into lessons, turned my pressure into gain.
Had my back against the wall, now I'm building me a lane,
They was waiting on me to fold, I was sharpening my game.

**Grind, grind, grind—**
Every setback put another brick beneath my feet.
**Grind, grind, grind—**
I was hungry for a future, couldn't settle for defeat.
**Grind, grind, grind—**
If the world don't give me nothing, I'ma make something from the pain.
They can ask me how I made it—
**I just tell 'em GRIND.**
