Grindstone
Back in full effect, who would've guessed/
One would suggest that this is ludicrous and/
Had my stretch of bad luck, am I mad? shucks/
Nut up, 'cause I ain't goin' out like that. HOL UP!
Gotta move on, let me gather my thoughts/
Swear to God, I done had it with y'all/
I got a lot on my plate, and my feet ache/
'Cause I done put in all the foot-work, trying to be great
But wait, some say that I'm stubborn, got a hard head
But to think that I'ma change is more than farfetched/
My balls, are all lead. And boys are barking up the wrong tree;
Trying to pull that on me
Understand, that I'm my own man/
And impressing these fans, ain't in none of my plans
So I'ma do me, and you can do them
Stay out my lane, and you won't get a bent rim; 4 real
My God, All mighty. Same person, different body
Hook:
So it seems, that you'll trigger a reaction in me but I know/
That you will never be, what you want (x2)
As long as you're following fools, don't be a tool. You gotta move
Don't be an idiot/
I see you standin' with your hand out. What you sayin' now and are you hearin this?
You need to look at your affiliates
'Cause you're a product of your own environment and you ain't seein this
And your life is in your own hand/
Not the president, the government, your momma or another man/
So you better find another plan
Before you kill yourself when you believe in what another's saying/
Won't see defeat, even if I'm neck deep
And seven days a week, on my grind, tryna' eat
And yea, I play for keeps, and I never will weep
And never will I be fooled by what I see
With so much on the plate, I'm tryna be great
Hook
This life is in my hands/
As long as I'm alive, this is my battle cry x2
This next verse is for every person/
And I don't mean to make anybody feel worthless
And I know nobody's perfect
But we done did a lot of work, and it's going in the dirt quick
So this next bit for all y'all
And I could care less if it's gonna piss y'all off
'Cause honestly I hope it do
'Cause I'm tryna light fire under you, listen up
This generation's full of lazy idiots
That think they got the world figured out
Fools, that want everything handed to them
And it's all lookin so dim, so quick. Y'all make me sick
Work
Hook
If nothin' else. I'm tryna eat
