[Intro: Rob Riley]
Yeah
This album is dedicated
To all those who barely made it
You know the ones
It's real
Relate!

[Verse 1: Rob Riley]
Way I was schooled, you don't choose to be an old fool
It's a direct result of whatever you go through
No two people are raised exactly the same
Things change; Even twins have separate names
Life like license plates; hardly ever see 'em coming
Behind 'em, playing catch up, steady running
Tell me something; When given lemons, what you make of 'em?
If it ain't in a pitcher of sugar-water, I ain't taking 'em
Basically what I'm saying...It gets no sweeter
Than waking up bright and early just to see a...
'Nother 24 hour like Bauer, How in the hell
You have a change of address and don't be checking the mail
Mmm

[Hook: B "Touch" Collins]
Out here on this grind
In life it ain't all about the money
Oh baby your
Almost out of time
I don't even know why, I'm just tired of running
I Know I gotta keep on
Anything to get by
I just gotta get by
Time ain't on our side
I just gotta grind
Now can't you relate?

[Verse 2: Rob Riley]
Nervous I heard I had a seed coming
Okaying bangin' my head on the other end
I ain't super akin to raising kids
Being one myself, up Saturday eating cereal and milk
As a man, I put aside my childish ways
And learned it wouldn't be easy as back in the day
When I could stay out, not even checking in maybe
Now it ain't even 'bout me it's 'bout the baby
Lately this rollercoasters been taking a nose dive
No sign of stopping, I'm going the whole ride
Screeching and screaming before hitting a speed bump
Got over that hump and proceeded to speed up
What?

[Hook: B "Touch" Collins]
Out here on this grind
In life it ain't all about the money
Oh baby your
Almost out of time
I don't even know why, I'm just tired of running
I Know I gotta keep on
Anything to get by
I just gotta get by
Time ain't on our side
I just gotta grind
Now can't you relate?

[Verse 3: Rob Riley]
360, Nintendo Wii
Had a feeling something like this would always happen to me
Actually, I saw it all before in a dream
Ignoring those who screamed we wouldn't see
21, hood boogers couldn't fathom the struggle
Just excuses to abuse the hustle
When they had help in the form of government assistance
Now you call, the numbers unlisted
Remember "Two Cool" Tone? He ain't coming home
He caught a body over a nut ass phone
Wrong decisions'll get you plenty time to think
After the fact, after that yours life's down the sink
In a blink
