Out Here Grindin'
Akon Rick Ross Lil Boosie Trick Daddy Ace Hood and Plies Lyrics

DJ Khaled,
The beginning of the song, introducing the artist

We the Best Season has returned
The return of the record label's season

Cause I'm out here grindin'
Working hard to achieve success

I do this for the streets, the RUNNERS
Working hard for the people in the streets

(Cause I'm out here grindin')
Continuing to work hard to achieve success

Hey Hey
A greeting to the listeners

I don't care what nobody say
Not caring about anyone's negative opinions

I'm a be me (be me)
Being unapologetically oneself

Stay hood, stay raised in the streets
Remaining true to one's humble beginnings in the streets

(Cause I'm out here grindin')
Continuing to work hard to achieve success

Niggas talk about greatness whenever they speak about me
People recognize my greatness and speak about it

(Cause I'm out here grindin')
Continuing to work hard to achieve success

I ain't splitting nothing with nobody homie
Not sharing success or wealth with others

I gotta give me me
Putting oneself first and prioritizing self-success

(Cause I'm out here grindin')
Continuing to work hard to achieve success

I ain't slept in 8 days
Working so hard that sleeping is not a priority

I can go for 8 weeks
Capable of going without sleep for a long period of time

Ain't nothing to me cause I am the streets.
The lifestyle of the streets and working hard is a part of my being

Put my life on the line
Risking one's life in order to succeed

But I'm likely to ride
Willing to take the risk and persevere

I'm on top of the game
At the peak of one's field or industry

Fuck if you like it or not
Not caring about the opinions of others

Ask how I get them freaks
Asking for information on how to get women

Strawberry swishy sweets
A type of flavored cigar

You'll be dealing with H when you dealing with G's
Dealing with the highest up in a gang hierarchy, signifying the seriousness of the situation

Now she deal with the realest
A woman is now with the most authentic or genuine person

Shopping like it's still December
Shopping extravagantly as if it were Christmas time

Diplomat on the fender of the phantom I'm the winner
Driving a luxurious vehicle and having power and success

I do it for the hood
Working hard for the impoverished and underprivileged community

I do it cause you're gay
Working hard because of one's sexuality or identity

You suckers wish you could Ricky Ross I'm in the bank
Making bank and gaining success that others are jealous of

Hey feds,
Addressing the federal law enforcement agencies

Heard your bringing my name up
Aware of the government's interest in one's illegal activities

Know you want me bad
Knowing that the government is eager to arrest and convict oneself

Think I give a fuck
Not caring about the government's attempts to bring oneself to justice

Better indict me now
Challenging the government to take action against oneself

Before price go up
Before the stakes become higher or more dangerous

Came in the world thuggin' leaving with big nuts
Growing up as a tough and dangerous individual, leaving a legacy of fear and power

Yeah I run it with killas homie, so what?
Being associated with other dangerous individuals and not caring what others think about it

What you want me to say, I sold a little dust?
Not admitting to illegal drug-related activity despite suspicion

Send your informant
Challenging the government to send someone to gather information about oneself

I bet he leave bust
The informant would leave feeling defeated and unable to gather information

I ain't scared to go
Not fearing the consequences of one's actions

I believe in Jesus
Having faith in a religious belief system to guide oneself through difficult times

W-E-T-H-E-B-E-S-T DJ Khaled (we the best)
The record label's motto and branding

That's me!
Affirming one's identity as DJ Khaled

I wake up to get my cake up I'm out to grind
Waking up with the intent to work hard to earn money and achieve success

What can I say
Acknowledging one's success and hard work

I'm a product of my environment
Being shaped and influenced by one's upbringing and surroundings

Uh oh, I'm in the game
Being fully committed and involved in the music industry

Watch me do me
Doing what one wants to do and succeeding because of it

Kickin' these niggas
Showing off one's success and dominance over others

Khaled man call this Bruce Lee
Being as powerful and skilled as the famous martial artist

Summer winter spring I can't forget the fall
Working hard year-round without rest

I still remain a dog
Maintaining a tough and street-smart attitude despite success

A diabetic and all
Succeeding despite any obstacles or challenges

All I want is my paper
Working hard to earn money and financial success

I don't care what they say
Not caring about negative opinions or judgments from others

They stick their tongue out when they bow their head
People show their respect by sticking their tongue out when bowing to a powerful figure

(Cause we the best)
Confirming the record label's success and power

Hey knock knock
Addressing someone at a door or entrance

Yea I'm knocking on the banks door
Breaking into the financial industry with wealth and success

With the million dollars and I'm dropping off the cash flow
Having a large sum of money to invest and increase success

See you ain't heard I hit a lick
Being able to gain wealth through illegal means

Now my money right
Having money and financial resources

Spend it on the u-haul dipping on the turn pike
Spending money on a moving truck to move goods and merchandise

Call up my dogs
Contacting and communicating with business partners or associates

Rag on my face
Covering one's face or identity (likely during illegal activities)

Bodies gon fall
Violence may occur

Tell em it's Ace
Claiming responsibility for success and power

If I catch a charge
If caught by law enforcement and convicted of a crime

Nigga ima flee the state
Fleeing the jurisdiction to avoid conviction or punishment

Hit my niggas LA Reid and Khaled
Contacting business partners for help and support

Watch me beat the case
Being confident in one's ability to avoid punishment for a crime

You niggas fly
Other individuals may appear successful or wealthy

Before you were just maggots
Describing other people as insignificant or irrelevant

I'm the shit bitch
Being the best and most successful person

Because I'm black flagging
Being affiliated with a gang or criminal organization

Yes sir the DR the new squad
The Dominican Republic has a new and powerful gang

You niggas all soft
Other people are weak and inferior

We go hard
Being tough and persistent in achieving success and dominance

They like oh god there go t double
Other people express respect and acknowledge one's success and power

He got his clique and his brothers (haha)
Having support and loyalty from others in a gang or organization

I know it's goin' be trouble
Expecting conflicts or problems with other people

Dark boys on the black gas see they don't black mask
Having a menacing or threatening appearance, but not covering one's face with a mask

Now they cant stand my black ass
Other people are envious of and dislike my success and power

[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus of the song, emphasizing hard work and success
