Boy been on the grind
Put the team on my back
My spine, think I'm doing just fine
Yuh, 1-9-9-9
Boy been on the grind
Put the team on my back
My spine, think I'm doing just fine
Put me with the motherfucking stars yeah I belong up in the dipper uh
Posted up at the skatepark with my boys yeah we some rippers uh
My ex just called me up she say she miss me I don't miss her uh
What you staring at? Might last longer if you take a picture uhhh
1999 been running it since, you get passed up
Ain't nobody fucking with your song, you call it bad luck
You slim and you shady but ain't nobody gon' stand up
Sit down take the gloves, and hang 'em like a hammock
Okay I cant wait till they see me now aye
Used to not fuck with me but now they bow down aye
You can throw the towel, if you dripping I be a fountain
I'm the Sherpa and this rap game be a mountain
Yuh future so bright think I might need tints,
Set fire to the track bring a hose for the rinse
Yuh, next up stop spot making sure that's mine
Cuz I've been at it ever since
Since 1-9-9-9
Boy been on the grind
Put the team on my back
My spine, think I'm doing just fine
Yuh, 1-9-9-9
Boy been on the grind
Put the team on my back
My spine, think I'm doing just fine
Yuh, 1-9-9-9
I been in my room all day woke up like I don't know what time it is
I'm gonna be on top so soon I'm blowing up like ISIS
Boom, Ah crisis, boy raps so enticing
Team on my back man I feel like Mike Tyson
Damn whew I watch Ed, Edd n Eddy
Counting down the clock tick tock I been ready
Straight to the point like a fucking machete
And I won't back down nah Tom Petty
I found a girl on Tik Tok finna slide her a DM
She got a 100k so she'll prolly never see 'em
A fucking starving artist man you wish that you could be him
Been stuck in the booth is it, AM or PM?
Yuh, that's enough stroking my ego
I'm Craig you're Deebo, shoutout Kyrigo
Yuh, soon enough I'll be fine
Cuz I've been at it ever since
Since 1-9-9-9
Boy been on the grind
Put the team on my back
My spine, think I'm doing just fine
Yuh, 1-9-9-9
Boy been on the grind
Put the team on my back
My spine, think I'm doing just fine
Yuh, 1-9-9-9
