Gotta Grind

Lyrics

[Intro] Damn, I got to make some fuckin' bread Damn Yeah (Yeah) It's the grind (Uh-huh) Long road to walk, uh [Verse 1] The dogs that I walk is mutts, I ain't eat a decent meal in months Why you think my knuckles is scuffed? Mom's screamin', "Liquor's fuckin' you up," broke enough is enough Oh, the struggle? It's tough Cold winds bring my old sins up I can't afford to kick that bucket, a lotta other shit fuckin' my Timbs up My mind state is stuffed, my soul is nicked That's the grind when you tryna be rich My broke heart needs bitches, my dick need bitches My .9 and my homicidal thoughts mean business I gotta feed children, that's my reality Record labels don't believe in salary, it's bound to be casualties And bein' poor got me sicker than a allergy Fuck all the 'pologies, this is my philosophy In all honesty, I'm savin' my crumbs 'Til there's a loaf full of bread for my fam' to eat from [Chorus] It's a cold, cruel world and that beast is out I'm just a Black man speakin' out I gotta grind for my daughter, grind for my son Grind for my way of life (Uh), grind 'til I'm done, here it is [Verse 2] It's like I've been hung from a tree, whipped on my back Hated for bein' ill with my raps No more brain cells, can't adapt, I'm a matter of fact Like Jay, raise my weight up, then I'm fadin' to black I'm a Coltrane nigga, pianos in the dark Whispers of dead fiends follow my way up the charts It's great when you start, better when it ends Separate associates from friends And never pretend that my lifestyle is more than what it is Everybody know Aas' got kids Everybody know Aas' did a overnight, not no bid And my temper gets in the way of keepin' shit square biz Here it is, I grind for a lot My physical, my spiritual, my niggas on the block For all the Wize Guttas, the haves and the have nots I keep my shit as tight as the Fort Knox [Chorus] It's a cold, cruel world and that beast is out I'm just a Black man speakin' out I gotta grind for my daughter, grind for my son Grind for my way of life, grind 'til I'm done, here it is
