T-Rock immediately moved to Memphis and began recording. His clever lyricism and tongue-twisting style immediately endeared T-Rock to fans all over the south. Widely regarded as one of the best lyricists to ever grace a Three 6 Mafia track, his appearances were partly responsible for the platinum successes of two albums and the sale of hundreds of thousands of other albums.
After a series of disagreements between he and his label, T-Rock decided to leave the Hypnotized Minds imprint he was signed to and embark on an independent career. Hooking up with his hometown crew Area 51, T-Rock went on to release several underground classics that have sold over 100,000 copies with barely any promotion or radio play. T-Rock has worked with a multitude of artists that include Too Short, Pastor Troy, Lil' Scrappy, Bo Hagon, Gangsta Boo, Lil Weavah, Max Minelli,Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Gangsta Pat, Al Kapone, Young Buck, Macboney & AK (of P$C) and Bizzy Bone just to name a few major names.
2006 was a great year for T-Rock and his fans as it saw the release of 'The Kush'. The album features production from M.A.J. of Xplosive Productions, DJ Cree, and T-Rock himself. Guest appearances include Max Minelli, P. Dukes of Countree Noise, and his Area 51 family. "This will be my most complete album to date," states the fiery emcee, "I've grown a lot and I believe its gonna show on this album." To say the south is waiting for this release would be an understatement.
I Grind I Hustle
T-Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got ten stacks wrapped up in a Backpack
Got them dirty butts on Snapchat
If she 21, then that's blackjack
If it's day nine then it's time for a Catnap
No chrome on my strap that's a black Gat
Best believe that I have that
Bitch I stay higher than a lab rat
I will take your bitch if she top notch
Stay up in her throat like Pop Rocks
I keep souls in my lock box
Baby girl gonna keep my glock Cocked
Run your mouth gonna get your snot Rocked
Three or four white boys in a drop Top
It's not raining it's pouring rocks
Unorthodox
Bitch I grind
Which creates the friction
Cold knock out no split decision
Crystals rain down bestowing me Ancient wisdom
I vanish
Straight twelfth dimension
Hallucinatory visions
Your truth remains hidden
Third eye astigmatism
I am on a bigger mission
When I speak you listen
Now bring that motherfucking beat Back
Yeah I keep yak
Rock known for letting that heat Crack
Laying the seat back
Click clack, click clack
In a bloody red 88 Cadillac
Where the yapping at
It's dead silent
So much weed I'm the Jolly Green Giant
Stay shining bitch, I'm vibrant
She says beat it up, daddy, get behind It
Rock, your highness
Bitch I grind
Which creates the friction
Cold knock out no split decision
Crystals rain down bestowing me Ancient wisdom
I vanish
Straight twelfth dimension
Hallucinatory visions
Your truth remains hidden
Third eye astigmatism
I am on a bigger mission
When I speak you listen
Bitch I grind
Which creates the friction
Cold knock out no split decision
Crystals rain down bestowing me Ancient wisdom
I vanish
Straight twelfth dimension
Hallucinatory visions
Your truth remains hidden
Third eye astigmatism
I am on a bigger mission
When I speak you listen
The lyrics to T-Rock's song "I Grind I Hustle" depict the artist's lifestyle of hustling and grinding to make money and achieve success. The opening lines reference the drug trade, with "slabs" being packaged drugs that are sidetracked or temporarily delayed. The mention of having stacks of money wrapped up in a backpack suggests the artist's wealth and hustle.
The lyrics also touch on themes of power and dominance, with mentions of having control over women ("If she 21, then that's blackjack") and asserting authority through violence ("No chrome on my strap, that's a black Gat"). T-Rock boasts about his ability to rise above others and be in control, likening himself to a higher being ("Bitch I stay higher than a lab rat"). He also claims to have the ability to take someone's woman if she is desirable enough and describes sexually dominating her ("Stay up in her throat like Pop Rocks").
The second verse shifts focus to T-Rock's personal journey and spiritual growth. He talks about gaining ancient wisdom through the raining down of crystals and his ability to tap into higher dimensions and hallucinatory visions. T-Rock portrays himself as someone with a greater purpose and mission, suggesting that his words hold significance and should be listened to. The use of the phrase "third eye astigmatism" implies a unique perspective or insight.
Overall, the song is a representation of T-Rock's hustler mentality, his pursuit of success, and his belief in his own power and influence.
Line by Line Meaning
Them slabs come in separate bags but We sidetracked
The drugs are packaged individually, but we got distracted from selling them
Got ten stacks wrapped up in a Backpack
I have ten thousand dollars hidden in my backpack
Got them dirty butts on Snapchat
I have photos of drug paraphernalia on Snapchat
If she 21, then that's blackjack
If she is over 21 years old, it's a perfect match
If it's day nine then it's time for a Catnap
After nine days, I need to take a short rest
No chrome on my strap that's a black Gat
I don't have a shiny gun, it's a black Glock
Best believe that I have that
You can trust that I possess what I claim
Bitch I stay higher than a lab rat
I am continuously under the influence of drugs
Got the block jumping like Hopscotch
I have the neighborhood lively and active
I will take your bitch if she top notch
I will pursue and engage with your attractive partner
Stay up in her throat like Pop Rocks
I maintain control and presence in her oral cavity
I keep souls in my lock box
I possess the power to control and influence people
Baby girl gonna keep my glock Cocked
My female companion will keep my gun ready for action
Run your mouth gonna get your snot Rocked
If you speak disrespectfully, I will physically harm you
Three or four white boys in a drop Top
There are three or four Caucasian males in a convertible car
It's not raining it's pouring rocks
There is a heavy downpour of drugs, not rain
Unorthodox
My approach is unconventional
Bitch I grind
I work tirelessly
Which creates the friction
This constant effort generates conflict
Cold knock out no split decision
I confidently defeat opponents without hesitation
Crystals rain down bestowing me Ancient wisdom
Drugs shower upon me, granting me profound knowledge
I vanish
I disappear from sight
Straight twelfth dimension
I exist in a realm beyond ordinary perception
Hallucinatory visions
I experience vivid and distorted mental images
Your truth remains hidden
The reality you believe in is concealed
Third eye astigmatism
My intuitive perception is flawed
I am on a bigger mission
I have a grand purpose
When I speak you listen
My words command your attention
Now bring that motherfucking beat Back
Resume playing the music
Yeah I keep yak
Yes, I possess and consume alcohol
Rock known for letting that heat Crack
I am infamous for using firearms
Laying the seat back
I recline in my car seat
Click clack, click clack
The sound of loading a gun
In a bloody red 88 Cadillac
I drive a red Cadillac from the year 1988, possibly with criminal history
Where the yapping at
Who is talking excessively?
It's dead silent
Complete silence
So much weed I'm the Jolly Green Giant
I possess an immense quantity of marijuana
Stay shining bitch, I'm vibrant
I radiate success and confidence
She says beat it up, daddy, get behind It
She requests aggressive sexual activity and positioning
Rock, your highness
I am the supreme authority in this realm
