My Grind - Destorm Power

Uh, yeah

And then my Momma said (yo)

And all my fans said

He did it again (na na na)

And then my Momma said

Every time I look at you, I’m prouder

I know ain’t nobody goin' be like you

Every time I look at you, I’m prouder

I know ain’t nobody goin' be like you

I stay up on my grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind

I stay up on my grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind

It’s time to claim the throne

They tell me don’t go there

The hottest motherfucker don shot up out of nowhere

And he’s mighty arrogant

Does he have experience?

Check your mirror I’ll bet your head bobbing when you be hearing this

The year was 1988, Mom and Dad divorced but wait

What we goin' do about the kids?

She said we have eight

He said, «I don’t give a fuck about 'em

Now get the fuck up out of here»

It took about a year, but we were out of there

A one way ticket to the ghetto

She taught us all a lesson: count your blessings and struggle before you settle

Now success is pulling in, Mama

Take your seat in Heaven

Reminisce on the Good Times damn, Florida Evans

My grind’s been all crazy since I lost my first lady

Said farewell to welfare when I had my first baby

Can’t spit 16 about drugs, I never dealt 'em

Every cop on the block had clubs, make sure you felt 'em

We blackjacks of seeing 21, was very seldom

I got charged, put behind bars, would booze cars and sell them

And when I’m back on the streets again, I’mma bring the heat again

I don’t even want to see the pent, music is my medicine

No medicine, a hard knock life, until you let us in

No cartoons, no longer the underdog so I better win

Consider me a veteran, you can hear it in my bars

Fuck a ball of gas, I’m a star

I’d like to dedicate this verse to all my fans around the world

That’s raised one fist, unite your hands around the world

If success is on your mind and you know you’re on your grind

Then you halfway there

Don’t you quit before your time comes

I know what it’s like to have nothing

And turn it into something

When life is so hard, you can’t take it no more

That’s when you gotta really want it

So just hang in there
