The Grind
Eye-D & Counterstrike Lyrics

You said we were born with a gift
I will use my gift to change the culture.

So I'm a use mine to change the culture
I will use my gift to bring a positive change to society.

I told myself that I'm a be the difference maker
I want to make a difference in the world.

Since I was 9 years old I always wanted to be the savior
I have always had a desire to help others.

Fast forward 2019 I'm a rep the state I'm talking about the cape
In 2019, I am representing my state- Cape Town.

Ain't no freshman, call me a heavyweight
I am experienced and skilled, not a beginner.

How ironic I'm dope minus the coke my line is a quote
I am talented without the need for drugs, my lyrics are memorable.

Aligning with rhymes in a flow
My lyrics fit seamlessly with the rhythm of the song.

At the same time I got my eyes on the dough
I am focused on earning money as well as producing music.

My mindset is set on shine and growth
I am driven towards success and personal development.

And rising above any obstacle I've come across
I am determined to overcome any challenges.

Don't let anybody bring you down homie (Bring you down)
Don't allow others to discourage you.

That's the shit that should be motivating (Motivating)
That's what should inspire you.

I checked my watch, it reads my time now (Watch watch)
I am aware that my time to shine is now.

I'm on a quest to bring peace to the city coz
I am aiming to promote peace in my city.

We taking way too many lives now (Jeez)
There is an alarming rate of loss of life in the city.

The only thing I'ma let die down is the haters
I will not let negative people upset me.

It's time you take a time-out
People need to take a break and reevaluate their actions.

I proved that I can really hang with the best of em (Facts)
I have proven myself to be equally skilled as the best artists.

You behind a semester
You are less experienced or educated than I am.

I school you fools for some pleasure
I enjoy outwitting those who underestimate me.

You're not a contender
You are not a worthy competitor.

I move in silence and let my achievements speak
I am humble and let my accomplishments do the talking.

My style on fleek
My musical style is a perfect fit.

I'm so addictive, these girls wouldn't mind OD'ing
My music is so good that it's almost addictive, and even dangerous.

No lie homie, you tryna bite the style off me
You are trying to copy my style.

And that's something you can't replicate
You cannot successfully copy my style or achievements.

While mine clearly detonates
My music made a clear impact.

Line for line when any record plays
My lyrics stand out and fit well with any song.

The only thing you gotta do is allow for it to resonate
My message will resonate if you are receptive to it.

I'm breaking the silence
I am being heard after being overlooked previously.

Independence is better than being signed
Being independent is more desirable than being signed to a label.

I need control of my own grind (Facts)
I want to have control over my own career and success.

My whole squad destined for stardom
My entire team is destined for fame.

I'm so hot, it makes sense that I can rest on a comet (Fire) and
I am so talented that it is fitting for me to rest on a comet.

Flex on the so called best the Western Cape has to offer
I show off my abilities and out-perform the best artists in Cape Town.

This is me announcing my arrival (Skrrrr)
I am announcing my presence and success.

D-Barz is ready for the title
I am prepared to take on the title of best rapper.

For me to be here is vital for hip-hop's rival in Cape Town
My presence is essential for the hip-hop community in Cape Town to thrive.

Now you heard I'm Eiffel
Now you know how good I am.

Mahn I'm nice bro
I am really talented, man.

Call me Maestro
I am a musical master.

Fuck with me, it's suicidal
You will regret crossing me.

And I'll not stop until I'm known from Singapore to Cairo
I am determined to become an international sensation.

The wait is over
The long anticipated release is here.

7764 Takeover
My team, 7764, has taken over the music industry.

We are making music for the love of the craft.

So wait till the project drops
Wait for the release of our upcoming project.

Your life will change once you hear our music.
