Grindin'
NF feat. Marty Lyrics

Oh yeah, oh yeah
I am confident and ready to work

Just let me work, just let me work
Give me the opportunity to focus on my craft

I'm out here grindin'
I am actively working hard to achieve my goals

Yeah, I'm out here grindin'
Yes, I am dedicated and committed to putting in the necessary effort

I told 'em, that I'm out here grindin'
I made it known to others that I am constantly working

I'm out here grindin', hey hey
I am actively working hard, hey!

You ain't never heard nothin' like this, let me work, show me where the mic is
You have not experienced something as unique as this, allow me to work and show me the microphone

I'm on stage, black shirt, and my Tims
I am performing on stage, dressed in a black shirt and Timberland boots

You know how I do it, I ain't playin' with you
You are aware of my style and dedication, I am not joking around

I've been grindin', anybody tryin' to sleep on me
I have been working tirelessly, while anyone who disregards me will miss out

Better do somethin' with your eyelids, I hear a lot of whinin'
You should take action rather than just closing your eyes, I hear a lot of complaints

But I don't hear a lot of rhymin', woo
But I do not hear many people showcasing impressive rap skills, woo

Everybody got opinions, let it go into my ear and then I block that
Everyone has their own opinions, but I listen to them briefly before ignoring them

Put me on stage, I'ma rock that, sayin' you the best? Stop that
Give me the opportunity to perform on stage, I will impress the audience. If you claim to be the best, stop lying

Phony, I am not that, yeah
I am not fake or dishonest, yeah

What are y'all doin' out here? What are y'all doin' out here?
What is everyone else doing? What is their purpose?

Maybe you should spend a little less time with the women on your arms And a little bit more with your career
Perhaps you should prioritize your career over romantic relationships

I ain't saying I'm the best but I should be in the top 10
I do not claim to be the absolute best, but I deserve recognition among the top 10

Give me a list of names, I'ma top them
Provide me with a list of names, I will surpass them all

I'm just playing with ya, I don't care where the top is
I am using humor, but I am not concerned about being at the top

Leave me at the bottom, let me work for it
Allow me to start from the bottom and earn my way to the top

You ain't never gonna find another rapper in the game And tell me that he works more, tell me that he works more, nah
You will never come across another rapper in the industry who works harder than me, no

You might see me with my hoodie up, I ain't leaving 'til I finish
You might see me wearing my hoodie, indicating I am focused and determined until I complete my task

This industry ain't nothing but a box, but I ain't gon' climb in it
The music industry is restrictive, but I will not conform to its limitations

You put me inside a room full of rappers, come back in 5 minutes
Place me in a room filled with other rappers, and after 5 minutes, I will be the only one still standing

I'ma be the only one still alive, with a note on my chest saying that, "I did it"
I will be the sole survivor, and my achievement will be marked with a note on my chest stating, "I accomplished it"

You do it for fame, we are way different
You pursue music for the sake of fame, but our motivations differ greatly

Y'all are looking weak, we ain't cooking in the same kitchen
You appear feeble, we are not creating our art in the same environment

Everybody got a shirt with a stain in it
Everyone has imperfections or flaws

Some of us'll never wear it out though, let me get it
Some of us will never let those flaws hold us back, allow me to demonstrate

I guess that I don't understand
I admit that I do not comprehend

This wasn't part of my plan
This situation was not what I had expected or intended

Some of these people, they're thinking 'cause they heard the name That they really know who I am
Some individuals believe they understand me just because they know my name

Bring the beat down
Lower the volume of the music

I got no time for these Hollywood people
I have no interest in associating with superficial individuals

I'd rather give time to my fans
I prefer to dedicate my time to my supporters

You'd rather chill with these women that like you for money But I'd rather chill with my fam, yeah
You prioritize spending time with women who are attracted to your wealth, but I prefer to spend time with my family

Rise of the underdog, I don't like none of y'all
The rise of someone considered an underdog does not please me, I have no fondness for any of you

I'm not like one of y'all
I am not similar to any of you

I'm from the jungle, I run with the son of God
I come from a harsh environment, and I associate myself with the divine

Yeah, what is you running for? They should be running from me
Why are you fleeing? Others should be the ones fearful of me

Most of my family, we don't even speak
I have limited communication with a majority of my relatives

I'm getting married in 22 weeks And they still haven't said "Hi" or wanted to meet, huh?
I am getting married soon, but my family has not even greeted my partner or shown interest

I'm not the type to complain
I do not usually express dissatisfaction or grievances

If we don't get it, we try it again
If we do not succeed, we make another attempt

And I'd die for the gang, misfit my blood
I am deeply loyal to my group, being different is in my nature

They don't like us and we question they mom like "Why did, why did you allow your kid to like bad music?"
They dislike us, and we wonder why their mothers allowed them to appreciate music they consider bad

Promise I do it
I assure you, I am committed to my craft

I'm tryna give you my everything
I am striving to provide my absolute best

I don't care what they are doing
I am not concerned with their actions

I'm tryna do what they couldn't do
I am attempting to achieve what they were unable to accomplish

Laugh at the rappers you look up to
I find it amusing that you admire those rappers

Don't waste time with the centerfolds
Do not spend unnecessary time with attractive but shallow individuals

I'm alive, it's a miracle, freestylin' since middle school
My existence is miraculous, I have been improvising lyrics since I was in middle school

I will battle the principal, wear all black like a funeral
I am not afraid to challenge authority, I dress in all black attire like attending a funeral

I'm doing me, I don't live for you
I am being true to myself, I do not live according to your expectations

All we do is work, all we do is work
We are completely devoted to our craft, work is all we focus on
