My Grind Is Tech - Sapient

I thank God every single morning that I wake, yawn

And don’t have to go to a day job

If I could live off of a nickel a day

I wouldn’t have to sell anything that I made

That’d be ok

But I’m a factory manufacturing that crack, spitting

Ask anybody they don’t have the audacity

To tell you different

They worried as hell I’m gonna take off my belt and whip them (whi-pish)

Cause all the wealth and riches really can only buy you sugar sprinkles

You know, bells and whistles

And the size of your television isn’t a measure of intelligence

It just makes you look self imprisoned

But they don’t see that, nah, nah

No they don’t see that, nah, nah

They want to lean back, un-uh, un-uh

They want some mindless entertainment

But I won’t be that

Yea my grind is tech, my racket is complicated

My hustle’s so intricate

Ain’t no cheating, ain’t no swindling or scheming

And now that I’m in it there’s no leaving

This the life I lead

Choosing it instead of an ivy league school that I choose decisively

To school you with the mic in lieu of violent means

With a youthful view of life, but I’m 25 lets see

That’s a quarter of a hundred

But but but if I’m immortal then it’s nothing

I’m livin' forever when I record and it’s coveted

My album is affordable, so bump it

What’s with, these pop rappers all obsessed with cash

Tryna' get it and get it fast

Huh, I wonder if they’re worried their success won’t last

Well it can’t last if you measure success like that

That would mean you’re spending your success

Every time you get your house painted

Buy groceries, or drop a down payment

Every time you pay the valet it’s one step closer to being outdated

You blew it

Hustler, I’m the epitome

I don’t need no label pimping me telling me to wear skinny jeans

I’m grinding, but more tech than 50−50s, b

Switch kick flip, backside lip down fifteen

But I hit it clean (that was high up)

Yeah that was pretty steep

But what I’m trying to say, specifically

Is my grind is tech

Like hidden bible messages

Since it’s hard to digest this you should take Prilosec

I don’t need no diamond necklace

Checking my style is fresh

Like Irish Spring, Dial or Zest

But I’ll never be washed up

I’m enjoying the dirt, submerged myself in the soil and earth

I said I’ll never be washed up or avoiding my work

Yup yup, my employment’s secured
