Text: D-MAC. The First Impression - Mixtape. Why I Grind.

[Talking:]
Step out on faith... Then walk by faith... A wise man once told me son, the sky ain't the limit... Your faith is

[Verse 1:]
Bros over bitches on the road to the riches
Circle real small cause these hoe niggas switchin
Oh did I mention? I'm oh so comitted
I put my whole soul in the flows that I'm spittin
Cause if it ain't rap then it'll probably be the trap
Or looking for a chain or a ring I can snatch
Won't be asking if you want fries with that
Or working any 9 to 5 at that, no way
It's okay if that's what you do, it's not for me
The nigga that I dreamed of being I gotta be
That view staring down from the top I gotta see
Been down all my life coming up I oughta be
Honestly nigga I don't want no hand me downs
Understand me, listen up clearly now
In Miami, I'm a be the man in town
Shit I just wanna make my family proud

[Chorus:]
That's why I grind
That's why I'm never gonna stop, they say I'll never make it to the top
And That's why I grind
That's why I'm never gonna quit, nobody ever gave me shit nigga
That's why I grind
So me and my folk live good, move all my fam out the hood
That's Why I grind
So I can break bread with my squad, ain't nothin like ballin with ya dogs nigga
That's why I grind

Grind cause I gotta, grind for my mama
She got some nice things but she deserve finer
Move her to the suburbs in north carolina
So she can tell her friends that her son a big tymer
Got a lil game but wanna step it up higher
Take my girl out, you know, wine her & dine her
Shower her with gifts and I wanna do more
Wanna get her that ring that a nigga can't afford
Flowers on the daily spa trips galore
Take bruh to the mall, buy out the stores
Nice lil whip waiting on lil sis
So she ain't gotta grow up makin one fuckin wish
Stunt on my doubters like "talk shit now"
Help my ol boy get his business off the ground
Travel round the world, perform in every town
My vision so vivid I can see it all now

[Chorus:]
That's why I grind
That's why I'm never gonna stop, they say I'll never make it to the top
And That's why I grind
That's why I'm never gonna quit, nobody ever gave me shit nigga
That's why I grind
So me and my folk live good, move all my fam out the hood
That's Why I grind
So I can break bread with my squad, ain't nothin like ballin with ya dogs nigga
That's why I grind

Kenny Boy & Dev still locked in the feds
I pray they hold they head till I come up on some bread
Get em both lawyers to try to slice time
Kites and commissary let em know they own mind
That's why I'm on my grind tryin to find my way
Born broke but I ain't trying to die that way
No joke I mean it every time I say
That god gon' shed a lil shine my way
I ask him for patience everytime I pray
And with faith and his trust on the grind I stay
Hey, and I hope you know
I can't wait to tell the haters told you so
I can't wait to tell em hold up I ain't done
And ball with my dogs who been here since day one
And that's why I grind even when it ain't showin
I grind where I'm at cause I'm sure where I'm going

[Chorus:]
That's why I grind
That's why I'm never gonna stop, they say I'll never make it to the top
And That's why I grind
That's why I'm never gonna quit, nobody ever gave me shit nigga
That's why I grind
So me and my folk live good, move all my fam out the hood
That's Why I grind
So I can break bread with my squad, ain't nothin like ballin with ya dogs nigga
That's why I grind

[Talking:] Nigga that's why I grind... [Repeat till fade]
