Rise and Grind


Grinding is the definition of what I be One day you'll see my face by it in the dictionary I went so hard last week I broke my spleen But it don't mind me, cause I got passion in my genes I live like I'm obsessed; I swear I won't stop I push to the end till my whole body drops And every time they doubt what I put my soul in I place their opinions in the nearest trash bin I've been tired of the disrespect; tired of the doubt So I'm gonna show you what true ambition is all about I'm gonna keep grinding till my body retires When the bar is set to ten, I'll raise it up higher The rise to the top will be so sweet and bliss So all stupid opinions will be put on final notice But hey, I want to make sure everyone know this My success will hit your ass like it comes from my fist So if you thought I was gonna fail you're sadly mistaken Cause my drive gonna make me bring home all the bacon You ain't winning shit because I had all your chances taken And had your whole foundation cracked up and shakin ....................................................................................................... Rise and Grind that's who I be Messing with me gets you're thoughts in the cemetery You think it's cool and smart to fuck around with me I only go one speed, the one the eyes can't see Rise and Grind you know how we do We stick to our craft, we're not messing with you You think were playing around, then you have no clue Because you don't understand what the fuck we're about to do ........................................................................................................... People still thinking that I'm just playing But you won't see it coming when I hit you; I'm just saying Cause we bout to blow your mind like you watching inception When I need to see a winner, I just look in the reflection I'm never gonna stop, even when I reach the goal To be in the movie, "Winner" ,and get the star role Pushing my body till it reaches its highest toll Voted most likely to grind, at all of the election polls People loved to doubt me; disrespect my name I was a weak little bitch; man what a shame But now you can't stop me cause I'm freaking insane We move as fast as those impulses in your brain We're cold and ruthless like a murderer doing the crime We're strong and resonant like Ali in his prime If you slow us down we gonna charge you a fine Because you ain't about to stop our rise and grind .............................................................................................. Rise and Grind that's who I be Messing with me gets you're thoughts in the cemetery You think it's cool and smart to fuck around with me I only go one speed, the one the eyes can't see Rise and Grind you know how we do We sticking to our craft and ain't messing with you You think were playing around, then you have no clue Because you don't understand what the fuck we're about to do
