Grind

[Intro: Vic Sage]

Long days, longer nights you feel?
And I don’t - I don’t even know lately
Take it
This is too much
Imma do it anyways

[Verse 1: Vic Sage]

Uh, put ‘em in the dirt
Say it again man and that’s a re-verse
Never rehearse, jump in it first
Call up the nurse, put the beat in a hearse (uh)
This is absurd, came to preserve
Don’t get on this track man and they better swerve
Don’t got the nerve, man I never curse
Just casting these spells while I’m spelling these words
That’s real, that’s too real
I been Roosevelt I need a new deal
Tryna figure out what I should do still
I’m really never waiting here too still
I don’t even know what I should say at all
Should I jump on in, should I get involved?
Guys around me they love to talk
I take it all with a grain of salt
This work that I’m doing, they never see through it
And all of this rap that I see that they ruined
I came in the game and I’m tryna undo it
And still they all say they don’t know if the shoe fit
I gotta see through it man won’t be diluted
With all these delusions I know it’s disputed
I gotta keep growing, they see where my root is
I tell you I run this I’m done with excuses
Hear me for a minute, tryna give what I been given
I don’t do it for the tickets, I don’t listen to the critics
Imma push ‘em to the limit and these rappers getting timid
I been balling like a pivot, I don’t step into the scrimmage
I just play ‘em when I’m in it, tryna run it till the ribbon
And they know that I been driven when I make ‘em see the vision
Man I put ‘em in a prison with these bars that I been spittin’
And this life that I been living Imma go I’m on a mission

[Chorus: Joey Vantes]

Take two ‘fore the drop Joe plotting on the boy
See me putting in the work whole milk I don’t do the soy
Always been ‘bout my king, never ‘bout the money
Now you know why I’m hungry
Imma drop it ‘fore I start the grind on ‘em
Imma drop it ‘fore I start the grind on ‘em
Imma drop it ‘fore I start the grind on ‘em
Said I got my eyes on ‘em
My eyes on ‘em

[Verse 2: Ki'shon Furlow]

I just did a 24 song in a haze
Walk in the building they already know my name
At the show she gon want a picture she can hang
Just to tell her friend to tell a friend I’ll be there
I shoot my shot with this gold on my wrist
While we throwing the parties, they throwing a fit
Girl I finesse her can spot me a sucker
A lot of you really is holding a lick
All of my homies legit, really it’s sick
I’ll prolly throw up my click
I sell a boat to a fish
I sell a record you know it’s a hit
They see the effort I put in this music
And I ain’t been given no favors at all
All of this cheffin’ I got in the shop man
I think that I prolly could cater ‘em all
I love the way that she answer the phone
I know that she ain’t expect me to call
I got me eyes on ya
My eyes on ya, yeah yeah

[Chorus: Joey Vantes]

Take two ‘fore the drop Joe plotting on the boy
See me putting in the work whole milk I don’t do the soy
Always been ‘bout my king, never ‘bout the money
Now you know why I’m hungry
Imma drop it ‘fore I start the grind on ‘em
Imma drop it ‘fore I start the grind on ‘em
Imma drop it ‘fore I start the grind on ‘em
Said I got my eyes on ‘em
My eyes on ‘em

[Verse 3: Shad Gill]

Yeah, I think they gon’ need a minute Shad done got these people back up in they feelings
Really told me I was finished, bottom of the inning knocked it out the building
No victor co-defended even I can’t witness, be the next to kill ‘em
Show em the king how they livin’, preachin’ so good but not looking for business
Man we stepping in from the back door
If they see you independent then they pop jokes
Death fear to the bones boy Jamesburg
Side stepping on the shade, see the footwork?
I’m tryna be about his business
But still they want me in the kitchen
With the baking soda whippin’
Who thought the lone so offensive?
Cause my God he gave his body just to pull me out the trenches
(Hold up, hold up wait)
If I never see a million or the recognition, bet I’ll see the finish
Im the greatest when I’m losing gotta keep on shooting even when you’re missing
Can’t focus on the past when living for the deal was never recommended
Repping V-A twenty pinning, his kingdom can never be broke cause it’s giving and I live that, yeah, yeah
