Solstice Brisa - Blood Money Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grease-stained hands and calloused pride
Papa's eyes fixed on rusted dreams inside
Strange tongues twist like wrenches turning tight
While the shop bell rings, we learn to sanitize

[Pre-Chorus]
Every morning, same damn dance
Smile and nod, yes sir, take your chance
Dignity's just another part to trade
In this game where bills must be paid

[Chorus]
Every drop of sweat is currency
Every broken bone pays the fee
Watch me turn this pain to gold
Like papa taught me long ago
¡Dale, dale! Keep the engine running
Even when your soul is numbing

[Verse 2]
Two thousand seven, summer heat
White collar bastard spitting at our feet
Papa's shoulders squared, voice so sweet
While I watched him break behind the receipt
Metal screams from the lift outside
Like the screams we swallow deep inside

[Bridge]
Accordion echoes from the radio
Mixed with impact wrench's angry flow
This shop floor's our battlefield
Where heritage becomes our shield
But every victory comes with a price
Some wounds we polish up real nice

[Chorus]
Every drop of sweat is currency
Every broken bone pays the fee
Watch me turn this pain to gold
Like papa taught me long ago
¡Dale, dale! Keep the engine running
Even when your soul is numbing

[Outro]
In this shop, we're alchemists
Turning trauma into hits
Papa's lesson rings so true:
Survival's all we got to do
But sometimes late at night I wonder
If we're building bridges or just burning under
