The Grind
Jet Life Feat. Trademark Da Skydiver & Young Roddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She love me, or she love me not,
I guess that means she bipolar
So it's farewell, momma stay up,
I guess it means that it's over
But maybe in our next life
Still may be then don't work right
No love lost, but until then
Momma all I got is that Jet life
Had a trap house that I kept open
Like a bitch that I bust open
That's back then, way back when
I had a nappy Fro like young Kobe
I hold them drums to ?
It's just me, I'm an one man army
She text me told me she want me
Man, this bitch try to ride me
Damn, gotta watch my mouth
Them kids listing and wack you over them Benjamins
I'm a good guy, but I got a bad side
I'm a gangsta and I'm gentleman
I rather just be for the hell of it Book smart nigga
I'm intelligent you street smart nigga you killin' me
That shit you spit irrelevant, gone

And I don't fuck around, if it ain't about money baby
That paper on my mind, I'm getting that money baby
Tell the girl that's on no grind, get your money, baby
This for my niggas doing time, behind the money, baby
And now I don't fuck around if it ain't about money, baby
That paper on my mind, I'm getting that money baby
To the girl that's on the grind, I'm getting your money baby
This for my niggas doing time, behind that money baby

Yeah! Here we are in this world of riches
I only see the money, surrounded by all these bitches
Niggas looking suspicious like I owe em something
I do this grind for me and mines I owe you nothing
It's funny how niggas brains think these days
A million ways to get paid, you can't get yours,
Man it's craze!
I stay up on my grind and my hustle period
When I say I want it all, you should take me serious
Niggas delirious thinking they could fuck with the set man were
Too real to function
But lames and busters only real G's and my circle the same crews I came up with
I'm still running, we're getting hundreds
We're splitting the money, we never don't find the shit
We're sticking to the script
No man about the clique !

And I don't fuck around, if it ain't about money baby
That paper on my mind, I'm getting that money baby
Tell the girl that's on no grind, get your money, baby
This for my niggas doing time, behind the money, baby
And now I don't fuck around if it ain't about money, baby
That paper on my mind, I'm getting that money baby




To the girl that's on the grind, I'm getting your money baby
This for my niggas doing time, behind that money baby

Overall Meaning

The song "The Grind" by Jet Life Feat. Trademark Da Skydiver & Young Roddy is about grinding hard for money and success in life. The lyrics talk about the struggles that come with it, such as losing loved ones and dealing with bipolar partners. The opening verse describes a relationship that has ended because of the partner's bipolarity, but the singer reflects on the possibility of finding love in the next life. The chorus repeats the importance of money and the grind, encouraging people to work hard to achieve their goals.


The next verse talks about the singer's past, where he used to run a "trap house" and compares it to "a bitch that [he] bust open." He reflects on his younger self, when he had a nappy fro like young Kobe, and how he was a one-man army who held his own drums. The singer then receives a text from a woman who is interested in him, but he is cautious because he knows he has to watch his mouth around her children. He identifies himself as both a good guy and a gangsta, and urges "street smart" individuals to be more "book smart."


The final verse talks about how the singer only sees money in this world. He acknowledges that people are looking at him suspiciously, assuming he owes them something, and he defends his grind by saying he owes them nothing. He urges people to take him seriously when he says he wants it all, and that he is still running, getting hundreds, and splitting money with his crew. Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of hustling hard for money and success while dealing with life's struggles.
