about

The Grind is an uptempo tribute to the sounds of the timeless classics of Motown and Stax. The part writing and lyrical content are intended to blend and create an infectious groove and awareness of the importance of time.

lyrics

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
