Slave To The Grind (edited Version) Lyrics - Skid Row

You got me forced to crack my lids in two 

I'm still stuck inside the rubber room 

I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind 

I'm just another gear in the assembly line-oh no 

The noose gets tighter around my throat 

But I ain't at the end of my rope 

'Cause I won't be the one left behind 

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind 

Tear down the rat racial slime 

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind 

Get it? 

A routine injection, a lethal dose 

But my day in the sun ain't even close 

There's no need to waste your prayers on me 

You better mark my words 'cause I'm history, yes indeed 

You might beg for mercy to get by 

But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side 

'Cause I won't be the one left behind 

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind 

Tear down the rat racial slime 

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind 

They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick 

They tore my intentions apart brick by brick 

I'm sick of the jive 

You talk verbal insecticide 

They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick 

They tore my intentions apart brick by brick 

I'm sick of the jive 

You talk verbal insecticide 

I won't be the one left behind 

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind 

Tear down the rat racial slime 

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind 

I said slave to the grind 

Slave to the grind, slave to the grind
