The Grind Date

if the meek shall inherit the earth
and not the weak
let me inherit the street, ****** it
you know what I mean?
I mean I love life man, you know what I mean
life is beautiful, its just the shit in it thats ****** up
its rough but its fair
people gotta go out there and bust they, bust they ass for a job
I mean, my dads got five kids, man and I mean yo
he hates drivin a bus but he loves five kids
you feel me?
Im a rhyme artist
out here tryin to grind my hardest
up early so to milk the cow
keep my john deere out here plowin the fields
to keep my john han****s worth up in the now
went from hangin on blocks to hangin on charts
positions is parta my mission to hangin on top
gotta get your polly cracker or with them crackers
and them scheisty ass niggaz if you like it or not
Ive been rewired to work more efficiently in the dirt
Im hands on with it all up in my cuticles
some try to get off the farm but fell into harm
of gettin in the game of those street pharmaceuticals
but, I was raised in those blue collar themes
havin white collar dreams cause I see what it means
and though the meek shall inherit the earth but dont forget
the poor are the ones who inherit the debt
you can bet I got better things to do than that
I was a ****** who got jerked by Tom and his boys
came on my land, seized my cattle, and catalog
as if it wouldnt leave me less than coy
but Im far from bitter evenfarther from quittin
got a grind date to make, no time for sittin
and playin xbox, stand up and exercise my rights
as of by seen of through mastas eye
its the grind date
know what Im sayin? Im sick of askin that
I mean, the street philosophy is that
Im gonna milk the cow and cook the meat
at least Im gonna have some kind of food and drink
because sometimes you cant come back
like momma said that if you need 5 cents dont ask for 3
ask for 10, thats for sure
Yo ****** a rhyme artist, I aint here for that
I was born with the boom bap, respect the name
my hands on experience was hands on my first contract
taught me quick how to respect the game
introduced to the block, got used to the block
but your neighbors be the ones who throw shit on your lawn
its like every single time we pop, they got annoyed
but we got ahead, and we got along
and puttin work on the calendars, worse on them calendars
worth of hump days that broke the camels back
the grindll make today look gray
and paint a tainted picture of tomorrows in enamel black
meet the rhyme, street grind, son whatever the beast
Im a take it at the horns till the pinky toe torn
and show you why we here this long
cause when it comes to puttin in work
once again its on
Im just like everybody else man
an average nigga with above average potential
you know what I mean? Im not sayin that Im a gentleman
Im sayin that I know how to act like a gentleman
in order to get the things that I need
and if I gotta pull out my nickle bag, Im gonna do that
This aint no accident, we stayin here
You damn right I am proud of myself man
and Im proud of my team man
I dont want you to get the wrong, yo baby on the real?
I dont have sex with people I do business with neither
and thats the real
but I do do business with people that I have sex with
so if there aint no conflict, lets get this grind on
cause Im gonna ****** the shit outta you, thats word
