G.R.I.N.D.
Asher Roth Lyrics

Yea yea yo yo this one's for the people
The song is dedicated to all people.

All the B's that'll bleed and they sleep and they eat Shit believe the thought we're all equal
Everyone is equal, irrespective of their background, financial status, or lifestyle.

Ain't a man on God's green be underneath any other
No person is inherently superior or inferior to any other person.

I don't wanna play preacher
The singer doesn't want to come off as preachy or give a moral lecture.

But but I swear they turn their ear when we talk about peace and love
People don't respond well when the topic of conversation is peace and love.

Sometimes might need a hug yea we all wanna come on up above
Every person needs reassurance and motivation to reach their goals in life.

But this ain't about Jesus, no way, no Abe, no Ike, Moses, or Mohammed
The song is not associated with any particular religion, person, or ideology.

Yea it's all about believing, full steam ahead
The song is all about believing in oneself and moving forward with determination.

Because I know the worst times are behind me
The singer has been through tough times in the past, but now he feels optimistic about the future.

I don't wanna sound cheesy but but but I just really mean it eh eh yea
The singer is being sincere and genuine, even though it may come off as cheesy or cliché.

I'm tellin' I can feel it eh eh it's the reason I don't sleep
The singer feels an intense motivation or inspiration that keeps him awake at night.

This one's for all of y'all
The song is meant for everyone.

I'm the same as all of y'all, I'm on my shit
The singer is no different from anyone else and is putting in the work to succeed.

I work real hard and all for every little bit that I get
The singer works hard for every little success that he achieves.

But this is all I need, so sing this song with me
The singer doesn't need anything more than the support of his audience, who he invites to sing along.

It goes like, so it sounds like this e'rybody start clapping your hands, it's like, it's like
The audience is invited to join in and clap along to the song.

I, I've been on my grind, I can only grind for so long
The singer has been working hard, but he knows he can't work endlessly without taking a break.

Bout time to change a few things
It's time to make some changes.

We enslaved to the bank and we only wanna buy new shoes
People are often trapped in debt and materialistic desires.

The way that we think, we can do anything that we really wanna put our minds too
People are capable of achieving anything if they put their minds to it.

The American dream, the dream is a pyramid scheme, scheme
The popular notion of the American dream is often unachievable and based on an unfair system of hierarchy and inequality.

And it feels outta reach when it's hard and times are tough
People often feel hopeless or discouraged when times are difficult.

But change starts with us yep, yep
Positive change begins with individuals taking action.

We all want freedom yea to be who we be
Everyone wants the freedom to be themselves and pursue their own dreams.

I don't wanna be afraid when I speak to say what I'm feeling
The singer wants to be able to speak his mind freely without the fear of judgment or rejection.

Yea together we're strong but divided never been so weak
People are stronger when united, and division weakens them.

It's time we get even, yea yea, and really what I mean is, is, is
It's time to achieve equality and fairness, which is what the song intends to convey.

This change I can feel it, yea yea, Mr. President I think it's all gonna be O.K.
The singer feels that change is on the horizon, and he's optimistic that it will happen soon.

So it's not about fame, and fortune
The song isn't about materialistic desires such as fame and fortune.

It's about believing and believing in yourself
The song emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself.

And understanding that this life is life
Life is what it is, and people need to accept that.

It's liberty and the pursuit of happiness
The foundation of life is in achieving personal freedom and pursuing happiness.

And happiness isn't about getting what you want all the time
Happiness is not always about achieving materialistic desires.

It's about loving what you have
Happiness is about loving what one has accomplished so far.

So get ready it's a new day
It's time to embrace the changes that are coming and prepare for a new future.
