Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Woke up in a rented room with tape on the window

Landlord knocking twice a week about the rent I owe

Sold my amp to pay the light bill last November

Momma thinks I'm doing fine I never told her

Every dollar folded in a shoebox by the mattress

Little brother asking why I'm never at the practice

I just laugh and say the money's coming soon enough

Truth is I've been lying to the mirror holding up

Chorus

I'm still grinding through the basement

Still grinding through the basement

Packing up my whole life in a duffel and a case

I'm still grinding through the basement

Still grinding through the basement

Nobody handed me a thing I had to take my space

Post-Chorus

Take my space

Take my space

Yeah yeah

Take my space

Verse 2

Cousin called me from the county said he's holding on

Auntie working doubles till the morning light is gone

I send what I can afford and then I go without

This city takes your name and spits the numbers out

Used to dream of moving out to somewhere with a view

Now I dream of just a night where nothing's coming due

Chorus

I'm still grinding through the basement

Still grinding through the basement

Packing up my whole life in a duffel and a case

I'm still grinding through the basement

Still grinding through the basement

Nobody handed me a thing I had to take my space

Bridge

Maybe one day

Maybe some day

Maybe I'll call home and say I made it out

Maybe one day

Maybe some day

But not tonight I've got a show to get about

Chorus

I'm still grinding through the basement

Still grinding through the basement

Packing up my whole life in a duffel and a case

I'm still grinding through the basement

Still grinding through the basement

Nobody handed me a thing I had to take my space

Post-Chorus

Take my space

Take my space

Yeah yeah

Take my space
