Grindin
Lil Wayne (ft. Drake) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Yo...
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
From ghetto to ghetto, to backyard to yard
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

Overall Meaning

mention the mustard and mayonnaise mansion
White and yellow diamonds, I call 'em Patty Duke
I'm still moving coke; the pipe is like a needle to junkies
The only thing I haven't done is die
But I've been close like the "on" switch on a TV
Blow six O's, over quarters in two years
Some how, sixteen ain't enough to buy you carers
I read between the lines of the eyes and your brows
Your handshake ain't matchin' your smile
I can see you're foul
Nigga, you're dabbling in crowds, bet you I can point you out
The SWAT team'll about make you put your points out
Say "ahh", get a shot in your mouth, I spit 16
And I'm snorting every line, in the scripture and the book, nigga


Lil Wayne's verse in the song "Grindin'" is about the hustling culture and lifestyle, where he refers to himself as a pusher on the streets. He says that he has been selling drugs since his early days and that he's still doing it. Wayne talks about his luxurious life, the money, the cars, the jewels, and the fame, but he also tells us that grinding is not about fame, it's about family. He mentions that he has been in the game for long and that he knows all about the tricks and traps. Lil Wayne's verse depicts the bitter-sweet experience of living on the streets, going unnoticed by law enforcement, while the other verses talk about the hustle and struggle of the streets.


The chorus of the song is repetitive, and it varies depending on the version. It is a mix of electronic sounds and hip-hop elements, with a catchy beat that can make anyone dance. The chorus is mostly used in clubs and parties to engage the crowd, and it's perfect for dance floors.
