[Chorus]
'Cause you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there
'Cause you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there

[Verse 1]
It all started with a me and a Mike
Just a two little kids with a dream and a bike
And a whole bunch of people saying we ain't going to makе it
Well you best hide your career, 'causе if I see it I'm gon' to take it
I'm gon' make it mine, me and Mike's, it's what we worked for our whole life
We lived off of bread and rice, but we stayed up through sleepless nights
But looking back, dog, I wouldn't change a thing
Because it wouldn't be the same without the suffering and pain

[Bridge]
You try to reach out for a hand, dog, but they don't give you nothin'
I ain't lying, boy, I put that on my grandma, sister, cousin
Mother, father, little brother, had to look out for each other
Yesterday nobody listened, now we out here doing numbers
I said work, push, work, push work, push, work
Work until your body's sore, and then you work a little more
I tell 'em grind (Hey) Grind (Hey) Grind (Hey) Grind
And when you're twenty steps ahead, grind like you're twenty steps behind
[Chorus]
Because you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
Between a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there
'Cause you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there

[Verse 2]
While you was chasing girls, boy, we was making plans
We was writing raps when you was coloring with crayons
Girls ain't never looked our way, 'cause we ain't never had nothin'
Never catch us stunting, we was just some little ragamuffins
Just some broke little kids with our broke clothes on
Me and Mike, everyday writing song after song
But we never skipped a beat, now to beat goes on
Never had a bite to eat, now the feast goes on

[Bridge]
You try to reach out for a hand, dog, but they don't give you nothin'
I ain't lying, boy, I put that on my grandma, sister, cousin
Mother, father, little brother, had to look out for each other
Yesterday nobody listened, now we out here doing numbers
I said work, push, work, push work, push, work
Work until your body's sore, and then you work a little more
I tell 'em grind (Hey) Grind (Hey) Grind (Hey) Grind
And when you're twenty steps ahead, grind like you're twenty steps behind
[Chorus]
Because you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
Between a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there
'Cause you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there

[Verse 3]
Yeah, our empty little tummies made us tougher, made us fighters
Made us mad, made us champs, yeah, it made us both survivors
And then they wonder why we bring that heat on every track
'Cause we ain't never had nothing, 'cept each other's backs
Them days were hard, but I love 'em and I miss 'em
'Cause our empty little stomachs, that's what gave us our ambition
When me and Mike was hungry, we would kneel down for a prayer
Then we opened up them cupboards, there still wasn't nothing there

[Bridge]
You try to reach out for a hand, dog, but they don't give you nothin'
I ain't lying, boy, I put that on my grandma, sister, cousin
Mother, father, little brother, had to look out for each other
Yesterday nobody listened, now we out here doing numbers
I said work, push, work, push work, push, work
Work until your body's sore, and then you work a little more
I tell 'em grind (Hey) Grind (Hey) Grind (Hey) Grind
And when you're twenty steps ahead, grind like you're twenty steps behind
[Chorus]
Because you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
Between a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there
'Cause you're sitting at the bottom and you're staring at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock, you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey, I promise, dog, I've been there
You keep on grinding hard, dog, I promise you gon' get there
