Honest Grind

[Intro: K-Rino]
It’s alright to pat yourself on the back sometime
That don’t make you arrogant
Sometimes you gotta look at your own accomplishments and see where you came from, ay

[Verse 1: K-Rino]
You got people that grind, self driven
Doing they best to make a honest living
The kind of people who work and pray even in they troubles
Never done nothing illegal even in they struggle
God-given resources they put to use
Never use growing up broke as an excuse
Standing on they own two, never begging from you
Knowing when it’s time to get it, you do what they gotta do
It’s a challenge, with no fear of facing defeat
Not a day goes by that them children don’t eat
Kept it honest your whole life, no type of deceit
And your reward comes from your Lord when the mission’s complete, come on

[Chorus: K-Rino]
If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road, it’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need to put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out of any jam you in

[Verse 2: K-Rino]
Baby girl, I got to give you your credit
You was faced with a trying situation then met it
Your upbringing didn’t go well, your world was pathetic
The worst things you was ever told, your family said it
Mama regretted having you but you didn’t receive it
You was strong enough and smart enough to never believe it
Got a education and made it despite all the treatment
Raised by evil people whose hearts were harder than cement
And even though it had you grieving and shedding some tears
You was motivated to have you a successful career
And despite the past pain being constant and blatant
You still went back and helped the same ones who was hating
Come on

[Chorus x2: K-Rino]
If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road, it’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need to put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out of any jam you in

[Verse 3: K-Rino]
It’s such a beautiful blast
When old enemies can put their differences in the past
To forgive, to forgive is getting rougher these days
It ain’t cool for y’all to take that petty stuff to the grave
It’s ugly and played out, we had enough of those ways
And I’m sure this ain’t the kind of cat your mother done raised
If your brother sacrificed for you and covered your A
You gotta show the same kind of love your brother displayed
Seems like loving is so hard but hatred is simple
Holding a grudge causes stress to build up in your temple
It’s all in your head, everything you deal with is mental
Never think the door is closed on you despite what you been through, yeah

[Chorus x2: K-Rino]
If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road, it’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need to put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out of any jam you in

[Break: K-Rino]
Yeah, ah, yeah, it’s gon' be alright, man

[Chorus x2: K-Rino]
If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road, it’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need to put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out of any jam you in
