The grind

Verse 1:
Every day is a struggle how to hustle some doe
If you was raised in the hood well then you already know
It be days it be good but mostly money be slow
Have you ever been hungry before
"gotta get these dallars man"

Chorus:
Steady on the grind
Steady on the grind
Cause i got to make it happen
For one last to make ya know me
Steady on the grind
Steady on the grind
Cause i got to make it happen
Aint nobody gone do it for me
"gotta get these dollars man"
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-Oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse 2:
Steady on the grind
Deadly on the grind
Money on mind
Steady on the grind
Steady on the grind
Deadly on the grind
Money on my mind
It's alredy on my mind
It's alredy on my mind

Every day is a struggle how to hustle some doe
If you was raised in the hood well then you already know
It be days it be good but only money be slow
Have you ever been hungry before

Verse 3:
Well i'm a freedom fighter
This killa keep him off his garbie
People army guerilla
Econmic development down for manual labor
Revolutionary hustler fund raiser
Catch me doing outreach
See me running the streets
Politcally educated but never graduated
Call me doc like my dude shakure
Fight for the core
Have you ever been hungry before
Fa shure
Mommie gotta job makin about six of 'em a hour
She became to brag with it when daddy was unemployed
Working forty plus hous and kissing ass
Seeming like the only way she could get some cash
she struggling they dont know why we hustlin
pullin my own weight
I be hearing them fussin fightin at night mad late
Over economics it's logic meaning they dont got it
Living in the projects money's the only object
She makes weighly a week standing on her feet
The engine needs a meetin
The family aint eatin
And the taxes is ten percent the rest is for the rent
The crime is what you get
And niggas is innocent
See it really aint about if your eatin
Is freedom or not freedom
Reepin or not reepin
