The Grind 05:10
Talkin' bout the Grind Verse Seems like the climate is fear, remnants of warmness gone folks working nine to five , plus three more to make it through They’ll tell you work hard Watch all your dreams come true Pay for degrees that don't mean a thang So hard to rise above and reach new heights when your airs gone and you can't breathe Don’t let the Grind make you blind to the things right in front of your eyes that you’re too tired to see Don’t let the Grind make you blind To the dreams that you have But no time to make reality Don’t let the grind make you blind Chorus We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking bout that grind We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking bout that grind Verse Everyone’s talkin’ bout dreams yet few make them come true This idea of security is so vague Many times misconstrued Just look inside, realize your souls destiny your greatest song starts with your heartbeat Just take the leap of faith toward you souls journey It’s the only thing in this life that free Don’t let the Grind make you blind to the things right in front of your eyes But you’re too tired to see Don’t let the Grind make you blind To the dreams that you have But no time to make reality Don’t let the grind make you blind Chorus We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking bout that grind We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking bout that grind Instrumental They’ll tell you work hard Watch all your dreams come true Pay for degrees that don't mean a thang So hard to rise above and reach new heights when your airs gone and you can't breathe Don’t let the Grind make you blind to the things right in front of your eyes that you’re too tired to see Don’t let the Grind make you blind To the dreams that you have But no time to make reality Don’t let the grind make you blind Chorus We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking bout that grind We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking We’re talkin, we’re talkin, we’re talking bout that grind

Verse Jagged little pill makes the sun bright makes everything clear to me makes all the bad kids act right no more mystery Oh, oh , oh, take away the clouds make some parents proud And help the blind man to see Furry little nugget, musty little stem transport me from reality slow it all down make the time pause so I can comprehend and oh, oh, oh for the right price and your shrinks advice you can buy your destiny Chorus So I just go, go, go, go Until I can’t go no mo So I just go, go, go, go till i can’t feel no more Sweet lord I go Till I don’t know what I’m going for Verse Red light and blue lights stir my soul officer, i swear i didn't do no wrong pulled me over twice and checked my papers right isn’t that a double jeopardy But I’ll consent and be polite no quick moves right? I don’t wanna die on T.V. Sell you a dream to make your heart sing Just sign your name on that line Screwing over decent peoples never been a crime Once you do it’s no looking back You can do it all you want, just remember man It’s gonna eat your soul alive Chorus So I just go, go, go, go Until I can’t go no mo So I just go, go, go, go till i can’t feel no more Sweet lord I go Till I don’t know what I’m going for Instrumental break Chorus So I just go, go, go, go Until I can’t go no mo So I just go, go , go, go till i can’t feel no more Sweet lord I go till I don’t know what I’m going for
