[Intro]
You gotta put in the grind for this shit
You can't cheat this shit, you know what I'm sayin'?

[Chorus]
I had to grind for this (yeah)
I was working my ass off, now I'm havin' shit (Yeah)
My grandma, auntie, mama proud of me (Yeah)
Who ever thought I'd see a half a ticket? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody wanna be rich, but you gotta grind for this (Yeah)
Everybody wanna be rich, I put in the time for this
I was just beating the buckets, I was just stealing clothes
Remember I ain't had nun, I was using hoes (Yeah, Yeah)

[Verse]
I put in the time for this shit
Twenty four hours in the studio, I wasn't lyin' to my chick
I was having studio time, foenem tryna hit a lick
I was buying studio time before I buy some for my jit
I was risking my life on the block tryna shoot my first and last clip
I was going to the studio with a Glock and a ProMag as clip
I had to put in work for hours, told Pharris put me on air
My bitch tellin' me "Come in and help", me I'm in the studio like for hours
She got mad, we broke up, she on my ass, but so what?
I'm in my bag, I go up, n***a talk down on me, but so what?
I heard n***as tryna pass me so they tell me slow up
If you know me, you know I've been grinding, it's my time to go up
I got rich from this shit, you can't tell me shit, I done got rich from this shit
I done made my first check it was 'bout a mil and some cents
I can take a vacay with the fam and go chill and shit (Hmm, Hmm)
[Chorus]
I had to grind for this (yeah)
I was working my ass off, now I'm havin' shit (Yeah)
My grandma, auntie, mama proud of me (Yeah)
Who ever thought I'd see a half a ticket? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody wanna be rich, but you gotta grind for this (Yeah)
Everybody wanna be rich, I put in the time for this
I was just beating the buckets, I was just stealing clothes
Remember I ain't had nun, I was using hoes (Yeah, Yeah)
