I Grind (Like 24/7)

*Lighter flicks* (Different By Choice shit, my nigga) Lets go!!! I know me on top's what they can't stand to see Niggaz handed me nothing, they're whispers damaged the family It was family first that is, til we met with calamity Amitvillle Horror's can't match it, far as insanity What's the point of a family tree, if you're forming a branch to leave? Damn it, we had a dream But, it's looking more like a fantasy And I see, that it's up to me to become the H.N.I.C They say, you gotta pay the cost Well, I done paid a handsome fee Now you want a feature from me? Gotta pay me handsomely I'll paint a masterpiece Oh, now that's why haters is mad at me Ain't that a travesty? Make me feel some way for humanity I'm human like you, ain't nobody granted me amnesty And in the end you'll see, though I paint a picture si magnifique I still got flaws, though they pay a fee for the man to speak I'm so introverted, stay to myself like a manatee Hate to sound cliche' and say, can I live But, can I please? We can't go back to broke, cause we done been there Consider that shit a memory, put the weed in the air And if you make it to the top, expect for me to be there At the head of the table, with my feet in the air Cause I grind (I grind) I grind (I grind) I grind (Like 24/7) I grind (I grind) I grind (I grind) I grind (Like 24/7) Listen in, to the kid as he's kicking' his... Independent shit, right there off Lake Michigan When you in this shit, gotta know that it's hit or miss Nigga when you miss, gotta keep rollin' like Michelin And begin again, all while remembering in the end That the mission is, to let em' see what the vision is As a lyricist, I let em' know what precision is Through my penmanship, I just let loose when the rhythm hits On some nigga shit, but I can't settle for nigga rich Trying to win this shit, but I found out that they rigging' it The dilemma is, I'm trying to do it legitimate Niggaz witnessed it, but they ain't help when I did the shit Now I'm in this bitch, helping my niggaz out with assist Hit em' with the dish, then they pull up and then it (Swish) It's ridiculous, they say they rap but the difference is We see benjimans, all from creating these sentences We can't go back to broke, cause we done been there Consider that shit a memory, put the weed in the air And if you make it to the top, expect for me to be there At the head of the table, with my feet in the air Cause I grind (I grind) I grind (I grind) I grind (Like 24/7) I grind (I grind) I grind (I grind) I grind (Like 24/7) Look, 1 thing's for cercertain 2 things for sure, ain't nobody ever gone give you nothing in this world. So, if it's something you want, it's up to you to get up, go out and get that shit. You know they say, revenge is the sweetest joy but, the best revenge is success.
