Grind

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
I took a low-paid job just to pay for the studes
Yeah
I didn't wanna shot, I had too much to lose
Yeah
Probably be different if I didn't have a yout
Yeah
I done it my way, I didn't wanna end like you
Yeah
Every good girl that I had, always messed her around
Yeah
And who am I to know? My old man weren't around
Yeah
Slave to the culture, obsessed with the sound
Yeah
I'm in the deep end, whether you swim or drown
Yeah
I drink water with God, sip wine with the devil
Yeah
I'm written in the stars, write me off at your peril
Yeah
Music in my blood and it flows from my vessel
Yeah
I wash my sins with blood and dettol
Yeah
I'm proud of myself, brought a son to the world
Yeah
He's just like me, now I'm ready for a girl
Yeah
I'm up all night just to finish this song
Yeah
Which I probably won't release, tell me where I went wrong
Yeah

[Chorus]
Ten years on the grind, what more can I say?
Yeah
Ten years on the grind, what more can I do?
Yeah
If I leave right now, they'll ask me to stay
Yeah
But if I stay, there's a chance I can lose
Yeah

[Verse 2]
I'm taking my time with no time on my side
Yeah
I took a few Ls, had to swallow my pride
Yeah
And that don't make me no less of a man
Yeah
Had to take that L for my growth to expand
Yeah
Beat and an iPhone is all I need
Yeah
I drink twice as much since I've put down the weed
Yeah
I'm too drunk to write bars, usually drink till I sleep
Yeah
And now I drink just to get me through the week
Yeah
My girl moved away, we still speak everyday
Yeah
We ain't together, but she still asked me to stay
Yeah
And play with fire but we both get hurt
Yeah
And life without her is just a whole lot worse
Yeah
And if I keep going, I'll miss a family life
Yeah
But it's not like I had any family ties
Yeah
I'm happy I've got one musical life
Yeah
But right now, something just don't feel right
Yeah

[Chorus]
Ten years on the grind, what more can I say?
Yeah
Ten years on the grind, what more can I do?
Yeah
If I leave right now, they'll ask me to stay
Yeah
But if I stay, there's a chance I can lose
