9th Wonder - I'm Grinnin' lyrics

[Verse One]: And he told me no no no You can't rap man Look dummies integrated math cla** Couldn't pa** that So I told the teacher lick the a** crack I'm gonna do music They laughed Then fate stepped in Refining my sk**s Sharpening my pen I got to get it in If I'm gonna hit it big And I was big hits everyday...Ripkin Pow Wow Look at me now Everybody else better throw in the towel They used to style, frown, put me down Now they see me at the mall and they give me pounds What's that about? Shoot, now I'm hearin' chatter 'bout Tom's got a deal and a talent scout I'm happy now I got some things to be happy about Plus big dreams that I'm mapping out [Chorus:] They said I couldn't do it I said I would, I did it And now my biggest critics Are saying I finna get it They said I couldn't do it I said I would, I did it And now my biggest critics Are saying I finna get it I'm grinnin' I'm grinning with my teeth out Just smiling Showing my teeth now Straight wildin', stay pullin' freaks now Private island That' were I sleep now Private island That' were I sleep now Tom Hardy's just grinnin' Grinnin' with his teeth out Tom Hardy's just grinnin' Grinnin' with his teeth out Just grinnin', yeah [Verse Two]: My friends, I'm finna launch like blast off They said I rap like Outkast, fact or false? I take it like a diss and a compliment Spit a verse and they started shaking like Parkinson Got Pocahontas takin' off her moccasins John Smith got change, y'all pocket lint Isn't it funny how They tell me I got a funny style That's the sneak diss, cut it out 19 but hungry like I'm running out Of time, tryin' to nickel and dime But I'm sick outta my mind Tom Hardy If you don't like the way that I'm rocking You can pardon it Restartin' it, I'm working towards Making money with 9th Wonder behind the boards You are gonna see me sore Cause when I shoot I score And if it's locked up I'm knocking down the door [Chorus:] They said I couldn't do it I said I would, I did it And now my biggest critics Are saying I finna get it They said I couldn't do it I said I would, I did it And now my biggest critics Are saying I finna get it I'm grinnin' I'm grinning with my teeth out Just smiling Showing my teeth now Straight wildin', stay pullin' freaks now Private island That' were I sleep now Private island That' were I sleep now Tom Hardy's just grinnin' Grinnin' with his teeth out Tom Hardy's just grinnin' Grinnin' with his teeth out [Verse Three]: And I like murdering mics like I might die at any minute Quite nice when it's written I spit it and now I'm grinnin' People thought I'm the idiot in the village Now I'm hittin' stages and they're sayin' that I k**ed it I'm not f**in' around, I'm not playin' Rap money right around the corner and I'm racin' Oh my god Tom I never had seen you Rollin', rollin', rollin' gently down the street Beat Gutter showed me the way That's one third of Guess Who and Cortez back in the day Yeah I stay, workin' with Brad like B.F.F.s And we about to cash in a bunch of big a** checks Flyin' in that jet that you saw on TV Remember when they used to laugh at T3? Look at me now? k**in' the game, but no screw face I'm grinnin' at lames like [Chorus:] They said I couldn't do it I said I would, I did it And now my biggest critics Are saying I finna get it They said I couldn't do it I said I would, I did it And now my biggest critics Are saying I finna get it I'm grinnin' I'm grinning with my teeth out Just smiling Showing my teeth now Straight wildin', stay pullin' freaks now Private island That' were I sleep now Private island That' were I sleep now Tom Hardy's just grinnin' Grinnin' with his teeth out Tom Hardy's just grinnin' Grinnin' with his teeth out
