…Mama told me keep my head up
its hard to face to sky when the rain don’t ever let up
…dark clouds is circling, feeling like a vulture then
…insecurities will eat alive
hard to rise when it feel like something holding you back in fact
stuck inside a trap then you fade to black its that real
…tell me tell me how you feel?
when you skipping meals with dreams of making mils
going against the odds is kinda odd aint it?
life tainted got you praying maybe God save it
see a therapist and talk bout how its all changing
its like we all famous, yet we all strangers
I need it all, tryna do a 180 is the hardest
I did a 360 now i'm back where I started
same ol plain clothes, holes, rips and the stains
tryna stay sane is an everyday thang

(Hook)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(I'm just tryna make it)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(If nothing else, do for self)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(I'm just tryna make it)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(if nothing else…do for self)

wishing I could cash these reality checks, its bound to be stress,
when living with a pile of regrets, how can I rest?
sleep is still the cousin to death,
pass every test, granny used to say that we blessed
despite the circumstances, see where we standing?
im searching for some understanding, I’m plot and planning
the pots and pans is catching rain, I’ll make it rain for all them days
when we was missing payments, im chasing pavements, running!
I been on a mission im a get it THAT’S MY WORD!
bottled up my pain and then I pour it on curb
pinning up my feeling pen is mightier than swords
fighting for my life the devil tryna win the war,
I BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME THINGS IT MAY BE HARD FOR YOU TO SEE
chained to this pain and its, so hard to leave
but i'm a runaway.....i'm a runaway....
one day

(Hook)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(I'm just tryna make it)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(If nothing else, do for self)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(I'm just tryna make it)
I grind, you grind, we grind, they grind, we shine
(if nothing else…do for self)
