Verse 1
Yo, rise and grind, it’s a daily hustle,
Mama and Papa, flexin’ that muscle,
Wakin' up early, the sun barely peeks,
Coffee cups full, yeah, that’s how it beats.
From primary school to the college grind,
They sweat and they struggle, but their dreams stay aligned,
Packing lunches, helpin’ with homework fights,
While juggling two jobs, workin’ long nights.
Chorus
Hard work pays off, that’s what they say,
Investin' in the future, come what may,
From crayons to textbooks, they’re always there,
For the love of their kids, their hearts lay bare.
Verse 2
Secondary vibes, kids tryna fit in,
Stress on their minds, where do I begin?
Parents push through, wipe the tears away,
Teach ‘em to stand tall, never dismay.
Scholarships, deadlines, gotta make a mark,
Late-night study sessions, igniting the spark,
While they’re in the trenches, fightin’ the fight,
Momma be prayin’ for ‘em every night.
Chorus
Hard work pays off, that’s what they say,
Investin' in the future, come what may,
From crayons to textbooks, they’re always there,
For the love of their kids, their hearts lay bare.
Bridge
Now they’re in tertiary, dreams in the air,
Big goals ahead, they’re almost there,
Parents hold it down, sacrifice and grind,
Building a legacy, one step at a time.
Outro
So shout out to the ones who sweat and toil,
Plantin’ those seeds in the rich, hard soil,
From the classroom to life, they’re paving the way,
For a brighter tomorrow, each and every day.
Chorus
Hard work pays off, that’s what they say,
Investin' in the future, come what may,
From crayons to textbooks, they’re always there,
For the love of their kids, their hearts lay bare.
