[ Chorus ]
And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say "You ain't grindin' until you tired."
So I'm grinding with my eyes wide,
Looking to find,
A way through the day,
A life for the night,
Dear lord you've taok so many of my people
I'm just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am I doing right?
[ Verse 1 ]
Father, I've sinned, I've commited many sins,
So plenty to go through, I don't know where to begin,
Well, swell, my life is like spendin' life in a cell,
Though I've never been in jail, I've done been through hell,
Is this the life you chose for me? Eternally condemned?
Though I've never condescend, I still don't comprehend,
When I make choices they are overpowered by Satan,
I lost everything I touched, what do I keep my faith in?
To make things worst, I lose my girl and my homeboys,
Drive my casket in a Rolls Royce if I make the wrong choice
I've danced with the devil more than I prayed to you Lord,
I have every fucking reason to have my prayers ignored,
Life is hard enough, I'ma just end it,
I'll take the cowards way out, show me where's the exit,
If I see a white light, heaven's where I'm headin',
But if it's shallow in shadows, I know I'm burnin'!
[ Chorus ]
And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say "You ain't grindin' until you tired."
So I'm grinding with my eyes wide
Looking to find,
A way through the day
A life for the night
Dear lord you've taok so many of my people
I'm just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am I doing right?
[ Verse 2 ]
Wait a minute, I'm a man, I must stand on both feet,
I look up in the skies, eyes closed and yell: "Lord speak."
Another brother died, didn't get a chance to say goodbye,
Shed a tear for him, like 2Pac said: "Even thugs cry."
No! What am I doin'?! Gotta pull this gun away from my head,
What difference will it make? My soul already bled,
Surely, it's obvious, I'm purely wounded sorely,
Suicide? Why kill myself? Life will do it for me,
I'm so fed up, I don't know what I'm livin' for,
When it comes to love, fuck, man, I'm just giving more,
Fuck love, show no love, love will get you killed,
It's a forever burnin' burden, it will never be healed,
With all this struggle and pain, I will never give up,
My hype will thrive as he strives and will always live up,
Now, I'ma continue walkin' forward like a peaceful dove,
And if there's really a God, show me a sign from above, Peace!
[ Chorus ]
And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say "You ain't grindin' until you tired."
So I'm grinding with my eyes wide
Looking to find,
A way through the day
A life for the night
Dear lord you've taok so many of my people
I'm just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am I doing right?
