Grindin
Drake ft. 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 pouch on the tray
Man I'm talkin' "early bird" and I'm talking "birdman Jr."
Cause you lost three moves ahead like a gamblin' board
Dreaded knight, from the home of the Terrapins
I'm the leader of the new school, pardon my arrogance
But I'm trying to take rap where it's never been
I mean NASDAQ, go ahead and ask
The world is my office, so I'm clocking in around the clock
What's up?
In this song, Drake and Lil Wayne team up to rap about their prowess as successful drug dealers. They both refer to themselves as "pushas," slang for drug dealers, and boast about their abilities to sell drugs all around the city. The song also features production from the Neptunes, a production duo consisting of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. The song's repetitive hook, "Grindin'," adds to the theme of the song and adds to the overall energy.
Throughout the song, Drake and Lil Wayne describe their impressive lifestyles as a result of their illegal trade. They mention their cars, jewelry, and money without any regrets or shame. At the end of the second verse, Lil Wayne even raps about having a weapon on him and warns anyone who tries to cross him with the line "N****s better stay in line when you see a n**** like me shinin'."
Overall, the lyrics of this song are about the hustle and danger that comes with selling drugs, but there is also a sense of pride and excitement that permeates the song. Drake and Lil Wayne rap about the high they get from their hustling lifestyle, where they are seemingly unstoppable and untouchable.
