Ooh ooo ooh ooh ooo ooh
What up T what we on what up J Harm what up Corleone what up B damn shit
You fucking with G'Pettoe you fucking with Grinding over here its fuck
You pay me round here mane you already know from the H all day
You can see that whatchu mean you ain't grinding well me and you ain't meeting
I'ma grind till the death of me money be the missing key
Even though it was sprouted up from the hell from beneath my feet
I'ma grind till its nothing left no love hoes just want my wealth
Even friends and family see me as a target nothing else
Haters wana take my breath this world wana see me stress I know
I'ma make it so there's no need for me to empress
So there's no need for me to empress what you mean whatchu you mean
I just woke up looking this fresh
Woke up looking this fresh yes I pass times test
I really do confess the answer stay up on my wrist
And there's no time to risk my money or my happiness
Over some pussy business so I stick it to you pussy bitches
This must be how I was born to do it
You can see it in my pursuit by how I'm speeding to it
But you niggas cant follow I'm miss leading you to it
With so much smoke up in the air you cant even see through it
But feel me like braille and I will get you through it
Now your grinding in my language and I do speak it fluent
There's no questions I'm the answer and all these loose ends prove it
Or you can stop denying press rewind and let my music get to it
I'ma grind till the death of me money be the missing key
Even though it was sprouted up from the hell from beneath my feet
I'ma grind till its nothing left no love hoes just want my wealth
Even friends and family see me as a target nothing else
Haters wana take my breath this world wana see me stress I know
I'ma make it so there's no need for me to empress
So there's no need for me to empress what you mean whatchu you mean
I just woke up looking this fresh
I'm up early tryna make something outta nothing
Pinching pennys till they spark still looking for a way to cure the dark
From the start I use my heart but without thought
I was so lost to this world I was tossed
Now I'm reformed thinking better than ever
I stole the rules to the game yea I use them so clever
You either being controlled or they simulator
It feels this life is a trip on a broken elevator
And it seems that the time is now to meet our maker
But even he cant down me I'm on some higher shit
Some grinding shit some fuck hoes snitches and the cops
And shit some hustle mania wont stop till I hit it big
I'ma grind till the death of me money be the missing key
Even though it was sprouted up from the hell from beneath my feet
I'ma grind till its nothing left no love hoes just want my wealth
Even friends and family see me as a target nothing else
Haters wana take my breath this world wana see me stress I know
I'ma make it so there's no need for me to empress
So there's no need for me to empress what you mean whatchu you mean
I just woke up looking this fresh
I'm drowning in my wisdom like Adam I'm Albert deep
In my visions I see my emotions steady sinking
Lord knows my loved ones are so so deprived of me
As I strive to rise over poverty but constantly I'm lead on by prosperity
Please don't show me sympathy I knew this would happen to me
But still I treaded on still I created distance but whose deserted
Force to ask forgiveness when I know gotdamn well I don't deserve it
But regret isn't kind and hate is still blind people are still dying
The president is still lying but my family still fine my girl still a dime
So you know its that grind time
I'ma grind till the death of me money be the missing key
Even though it was sprouted up from the hell from beneath my feet
I'ma grind till its nothing left no love hoes just want my wealth
Even friends and family see me as a target nothing else
Haters wana take my breath this world wana see me stress I know
I'ma make it so there's no need for me to empress




So there's no need for me to empress what you mean whatchu you mean
I just woke up looking this fresh
