The Grind

Mmmm

Ayy, yeah

Oooouuoooooh

I came from nothin'
You know I made it out the mornin'
And I was strugglin'
No heat inside the house
We use the oven
From the bottom to the top
And now I'm buzzin'

We was grinding in the dark and
Now it's somethin'
She the one that showed me love
When I was buggin'
Now she see me on the gram
In different countries
And we always pray to God
When the times were getting hard
Now the grind is paying off
And now I love it

Felt like I was stuck in a cage
Working that minimum wage
Turn to Allah then I pray
Making bank and then finding a way
Then He answered, I started a wave
Like the Baraka I'm getting paid
All my haters I put 'em to shame
Put some respect that you call on my name

Trust me I've been through a lot
But that don't mean I'm gonna stop
My niggas be praying salat
Feed my mama Alhamdulillah
Yeah
I received a revelation
Found deen I was patient
I was grinding in the basement
Can't forget where I came from
Child works in mysterious ways on my side
I pull up in the puta
Spit that fire like a drive-by
All these other rappers getting shook
'Cause it's my time
I pray my mama proud of me...

I came from nothin'
You know I made it out the mornin'
And I was strugglin'
No heat inside the house
We use the oven
From the bottom to the top
And now I'm buzzin'

We was grinding in the dark and
Now it's somethin'
She the one that showed me love
When I was buggin'
Now she see me on the gram
In different countries
And we always pray to God
When the times were getting hard
Now the grind is paying off
And now I love it

All the times in the dark hiding
No luck, I was praying
To God right now
Stressed out 'cause
I'm best out with my time to pop
It ain't now
I'm holding on to my deen 'cause these times
Are harder right now
So when I say "Ooh aah"
Yeah I'm gonna spar right now
You gotta bow before you shine
Just take your time I heard otherwise might say
I'm drivin' 'round with my window down
And my hoodie up in the day
I'm grinding like I got 5 wives
And 3 babes all in the way
You cries thought that pump of money
I'm pullin' up in my sleigh
My stat is in a mask because
You know we keep on sinning
Wipe away my sins
You know my weakness is these women
This dunya that I live in
This live that I've been livin'
I might go only days
I could dunk three and then I didn't

I came from nothin
You know I made it out the mornin'
And I was strugglin'
No heat inside the house
We use the oven
From the bottom to the top
And now I'm buzzin'

We was grinding in the dark and
Now it's somethin'
She the one that showed me love
When I was buggin'
Now she see me on the gram
In different countries
And we always pray to God
When the times were getting hard
Now the grind is paying off
And now I love it

Oooooh

Derrick got that dope, boy!
