lyrics
The first in flight, I spend nights, getting these verses tight
Throw on the beat man, rework that line
I scratch it, conjure up the illest feeling
With this rapping, I don’t have to talk about killing
Or making millions
I can be true to myself
Speak on life or religion, the fluid is felt
With this pen that I write with, I’m enlightened
Spreading the name like a common cold or a known virus
On this mic I’m a giant, Paul Bunyan hunting
These flashy cats probably claiming that they really stunting
Your first week sales, don’t mean nothing
Especially when your album is full of filler cousin
See me man I work a 9 to 5, cause rap don’t pay the bills
I’m trying to stay alive, survive the grind, rely on his mind to seek direction
Cause we fall short when we seek perfection
I travel that lone path with a notepad
And a dictionary, trying to boost my vocab
I’ve trained with the vets, spit with old cats
They praise the style, calling me a throwback
These lyrics are free, your gimmicks may sell
I can’t wait to see my CD sit on the shelf
[chorus] 2x
I’m on the grind, it feels like I’m running out of time
And I, know I got a lot of rhymes
But I, know I may be unsigned
Just know that I’m always on the grind yeah
Throw on the beat man, rework that line
I scratch it, conjure up the illest feeling
With this rapping, I don’t have to talk about killing
Or making millions
I can be true to myself
Speak on life or religion, the fluid is felt
With this pen that I write with, I’m enlightened
Spreading the name like a common cold or a known virus
On this mic I’m a giant, Paul Bunyan hunting
These flashy cats probably claiming that they really stunting
Your first week sales, don’t mean nothing
Especially when your album is full of filler cousin
See me man I work a 9 to 5, cause rap don’t pay the bills
I’m trying to stay alive, survive the grind, rely on his mind to seek direction
Cause we fall short when we seek perfection
I travel that lone path with a notepad
And a dictionary, trying to boost my vocab
I’ve trained with the vets, spit with old cats
They praise the style, calling me a throwback
These lyrics are free, your gimmicks may sell
I can’t wait to see my CD sit on the shelf
[chorus] 2x
I’m on the grind, it feels like I’m running out of time
And I, know I got a lot of rhymes
But I, know I may be unsigned
Just know that I’m always on the grind yeah
