Grindin
Clipse (feat. Pharrell) Lyrics

Yo...
Introducing himself as Pharrell from the Neptunes

I go by the name... (I'm yo' pusha)
Referring to himself as Pusha T

of Pharrell from the Neptunes...
Reiterating his introduction

And I just wanna let y'all know... (I'm yo' pusha)
Stating his alternate name, Pusha T

The world is about to feel...
Teasing an upcoming unique experience

Something... (I'm yo' pusha), that they've never felt before
Promising an unprecedented feeling

C'mon
Encouraging the listeners to join in

From ghetto to ghetto, to backyard to yard
Referring to his extensive drug dealing business

I sell it whip on whip, it's off the hard
Dealing cocaine at a large scale

I'm the...neighbourhood pusha
Acknowledging his reputation as a drug dealer

Call me subwoofer, 'cause I pump "base" like that, Jack
Note that he is good at dealing drugs and music references

On or off the track, I'm heavy cuz
Asserting his authority as a drug dealer

Ball 'til you fall cause you could duck to the fetti govs
Encouraging others to keep hustling

Sorry my love, what I'm seeing through these eyes
Apologizing to his lover for the life he's living

Biz convoys with the wagon on the side
Driving in a convoy with a car carrying drugs

Only big boys keep deuces on the ride
Stating that only important people ride with him

Gucci Chuck Taylor with the dragon on the side
Showing off his designer shoes

Man, I make a buck, why scram?
Questioning why he would leave the drug business when it's making him money

I'm trying to show y'all who the fuck I am
Asserting his identity and reputation

The jewels is flirting me, damned if I'm hurting
The expensive jewelry he's wearing is making him feel good and he doesn't want to stop hustling

Legend in two games like I'm Pee Wee Kirkland
Acknowledging his success in both music and drug dealing

Platinum on the block with consistent hits
Selling a lot of drugs and making money

While Pharrell keep talking this music shit
Pharrell continues to focus on music while Pusha T hustles

Grindin'! (Ahhh)
The chorus of the song

Patty cake, patty cake, I'm the baker's man
Pun about baking and dealing drugs

I bake them cakes as fast as I can
Selling drugs as fast as he can

And you can tell by how my bread stack up
The way he stacks his money shows how successful he is as a drug dealer

And disguised in this rap so the feds back up
Hiding his drug dealing references in his music to avoid federal authorities

Watch it, like my whip, like my chick, topless
Comparing his car and women to being topless and free

Doing a buck-six with me in the cockpit
Speeding at 106 miles per hour with him driving

Grindin' cousin, I got pot for a dozen
Hustling hard and having a lot of drugs to sell

Even eleven-5, if I see ya keep it comin'
Selling small amounts of drugs if he sees a customer keep coming back

And my weight, that's just as heavy as my name
His reputation as a drug dealer is just as heavy as his actual weight

So much dough, I can't swear I won't change
He has made so much money that he can't promise he won't change as a person

Excuse me if my wealth got me full of myself
Apologizing for seeming arrogant due to his success as a drug dealer

Cocky, something that I just can't help
Acknowledging that he is naturally cocky

'Specially when them 20's is spinning like windmills
Feeling successful when the rims on his car are spinning

And the ice 32 below minus the wind chill
Wearing jewelry that is so cold it feels like minus 32 degrees with wind chill

Filthy, the word that best defines me
Acknowledging that being a drug dealer is not clean

I'm just grinding man, y'all nevermind me
Focused on hustling and making money

Grin-din', when you know what I keep in a lining (Whooof...)
Rhyming about the dangers of crossing him as a drug dealer

Niggas better stay in line, when (Whooof...)
Warning others to stay in line and not cross him

When you see a nigga like me shinin' (Grin-ding!)
Pointing out that his success as a drug dealer is making him shine

My grind's 'bout family, never been about fame
Hustling to provide for his family, not seeking fame

From days I wasn't "Abel/able", there was always "Cain/caine"
A wordplay on biblical terms and his history of drug dealing

Four and a half will get you in the game
Selling 4.5 ounces of cocaine can make you a part of the drug dealing game

Anything less is just a goddamn shame
Selling less than that amount is not worth it for him

Guess the weight, my watch got blue chips in the face
His watch is worth a lot of money due to the success of his drug dealing business

with two tips whoever gets in the way
Warning anyone who tries to stop his hustle or cross him

Not to...
The line is incomplete and does not have a clear meaning
