Grindin'
Clipse Feat. N.O.R.E. Baby & Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I go by the name... (I'm yo' pusha)
of Pharrell from the Neptunes...
And I just want to let why'all know... (I'm yo' pusha)
The world is about to feel...
Something... (I'm yo' pusha), that they've never felt before
C'mon
I sell it whip on whip, it's off the hard
I'm the...neighbourhood pusha
Call me subwoofer, 'cause I pump "base" like that, Jack
On or off the track, I'm heavy 'cause
Ball 'til you fall cause you could duck to the fetti govs
Sorry my love, what I'm seeing through these eyes
Biz convoys with the wagon on the side
Only big boys keep deuces on the ride
Gucci Chuck Taylor with the dragon on the side
Man, I make a buck, why scram?
I'm trying to show why'all who the fuck I am
The jewels is flirting me, damned if I'm hurting
Legend in two games like I'm Pee Wee Kirkland
Platinum on the block with consistent hits
While Pharrell keep talking this music shit
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
(Hu-huuh)
Patty cake, patty cake, I'm the baker's man
I bake them cakes as fast as I can
And you can tell by how my bread stack up
And disguised in this rap so the feds back up
Watch it, like my whip, like my chick, topless
Doing a buck-six with me in the cockpit
Grindin' cousin, I got pot for a dozen
Even eleven-5, if I see ya keep it comin'
And my weight, that's just as heavy as my name
So much dough, I can't swear I won't change
Excuse me if my wealth got me full of myself
Cocky, something that I just can't help
'Specially when them 20's is spinning like windmills
And the ice 32 below minus the wind chill
Filthy, the word that best defines me
I'm just grinding man, why'all nevermind me
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
(Hu-huuh)
Grin-din', when you know what I keep in a lining (Whooof...)
Niggas better stay in line, when (Whooof...)
When you see a nigga like me shinin' (Grin-ding!)
Grin-din', when you know what I keep in a lining (Whooof...)
Niggas better stay in line, when (Whooof...)
When you see a nigga like me shinin' (Grin-ding!)
My grind's 'bout family, never been about fame
From days I wasn't "Abel/able", there was always "Cain/caine"
Four and a half will get you in the game
Anything less is just a goddamn shame
Guess the weight, my watch got blue chips in the face
with two tips whoever gets in the way
Not to
mention the Hideaway 8 with the seats reclined
We in the city of the vices that keep our sleeves Mayan
Chorus
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
Grindin'! (Ahhh)
(Hu-huuh)
Clipse ft. Sean Paul Kardinal Offishall & Bless's song Grindin' is all about being proud of what you do and experiencing the hustle in a unique way. The lyrics are mainly about being a drug dealer and the daily routine they go through, from selling drugs on the block to driving around in different neighbourhoods in luxury cars, representing their style by wearing high-end brands, boasting their jewellery, and making money with their heavyweight names. They are just trying to showcase themselves and their gang in the limelight and portraying how much they have struggled to reach this level of financial and social success. The chorus emphasizes the repetitious nature of the hustle and the determination to keep grinding and making money.
The first verse is sung by Pusha T, who talks about his success journey, from selling drugs to becoming a neighbourhood pusher. He expresses how he pumps "base" like a subwoofer, referring to his ability to make customers come back repeatedly for more drugs. He confidently boasts his position in the game by using slang such as "fetti govs" to represent his wealth and "big boys" to showcase his dominance in the field. He also references Gucci Chuck Taylor shoes, which were trendy at that time.
The second verse is rapped by Malice, who boasts about his wealth, the number of drugs he has and the luxuries he owns like fast cars and topless girls. He refers to his wealth as "dough" and how it got him full of himself. He also emphasizes that he is just grinding and doing his business, and nobody should mind him.

Beat used to be a lunch time table classic during high school. Entire faculty used to hate us for it. Good stuff.
