Grind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, yeah I took a low-paid job just to pay for the studes Yeah I didn't wanna shot, I had too much to lose Yeah Probably be different if I didn't have a yout Yeah I done it my way, I didn't wanna end like you Yeah Every good girl that I had, always messed her around Yeah And who am I to know? My old man weren't around Yeah Slave to the culture, obsessed with the sound Yeah I'm in the deep end, whether you swim or drown Yeah I drink water with God, sip wine with the devil Yeah I'm written in the stars, write me off at your peril Yeah Music in my blood and it flows from my vessel Yeah I wash my sins with blood and dettol Yeah I'm proud of myself, brought a son to the world Yeah He's just like me, now I'm ready for a girl Yeah I'm up all night just to finish this song Yeah Which I probably won't release, tell me where I went wrong Yeah [Chorus] Ten years on the grind, what more can I say? Yeah Ten years on the grind, what more can I do? Yeah If I leave right now, they'll ask me to stay Yeah But if I stay, there's a chance I can lose Yeah [Verse 2] I'm taking my time with no time on my side Yeah I took a few Ls, had to swallow my pride Yeah And that don't make me no less of a man Yeah Had to take that L for my growth to expand Yeah Beat and an iPhone is all I need Yeah I drink twice as much since I've put down the weed Yeah I'm too drunk to write bars, usually drink till I sleep Yeah And now I drink just to get me through the week Yeah My girl moved away, we still speak everyday Yeah We ain't together, but she still asked me to stay Yeah And play with fire but we both get hurt Yeah And life without her is just a whole lot worse Yeah And if I keep going, I'll miss a family life Yeah But it's not like I had any family ties Yeah I'm happy I've got one musical life Yeah But right now, something just don't feel right Yeah [Chorus] Ten years on the grind, what more can I say? Yeah Ten years on the grind, what more can I do? Yeah If I leave right now, they'll ask me to stay Yeah But if I stay, there's a chance I can lose
