[Intro]
[Verse 1: Ali Estee]
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
Slow grinds better than no grind
If you broke
Than we got no business speaking
Can't intertwine
If you broke
Than you better go and
Put in that overtime
Ali Estee in the building
And he's bout to over shine
Can't nobody undermine a n***a
I'm out 4 mine my n***a
And i won't stop
Until I am @ the top
With like 9 figures
I had a vision like
Raven Symone
My Wrist was Rocky like
Sylvester Stallone, uhh
So I had to cut some
Heads outs my phone
And tell em
Leave a message after the tone
U feel me?
Some n***as out here
And they always on
Some bullsh**
I'm trying party with some
Ladies by the pool, Lit
I'm on some extra cool sh**
But i keep close a full clip
Might pull up in that new whip like
"I'm no one to fool with!"
Had to convinced myself
The past it won't defined me
In order to get me
The first step is...
You must find me then
Watch me
Like a time piece
As move with no accomplices
I'm not incompetent
In fact I'm out accomplishing
The goals I set when I was a kid
The most astounding sh**
Started with 'round a zip
Then flipped a quarter pound a piff
Next thing u know I'm in out in AC
With an out-of-towner's b**h
A fair amount of chips
Smoking on cigar
Waiting on 21
As the dealer
Handle his cards
I'm far from pissed off
Boy, I'm getting right
VSOP Remy straight
Just bring that sh** with ice
I'm a
Son of the night time
I Kick it and write rhymes and
Even if I'm running late
I come out the right time
You know that I'm wise like owls
And I always make my presence felt
Like when a wolf howls
You gon never catch me
Throwing towels, na
I'm in this to the last breath
I swear I
Put in work in
Til my energy
There's nothing left
[Hook: Ali Estee]
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
I told my people that
We gon make it one day
And that's in no time
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
Slow grinds better than no grind
Slow grind
I told my people that
We gon make it one day
And that's in no time
[Verse 2: Ali Estee]
I said that's no time
Can't ever be still
Got to go for mine
I got a goal in mind
I want the gold in mines
And I'ma get it
Spitting hotter than
A clothing iron
And with my clothing line
You know the flow divine
Ain't nobody really
Got a flow like mine
Cause its like all the time
A n***a chose to rhyme
And now they definitely
Booking him for shows to rhymes
My n***a, no declining
And u know my seats is all reclining
Yeah, I stays low like all the time
But these hater n***as know
Where the all could find me
UPTOWN
Yeah we always live and
I'ma do it for my city like the mayor
Never leave the crib
Without reciting me a prayer
I'm good with what I got
But I'ma need it like a player
So u know I move the work
I guess just call me the conveyor
Ima do it for my state
Yeah it took a minute
But a n***a feeling greater
And I'm in my prime
Middle finger to the haters
That want bring me down
Like I'm in an elevator
You could tell em I said later
Cause right now I'm on the way
One way ticket to the top
I swear I'm on the way
Yeah I swear I'm on the way
I'ma do this for the fam
Cause they always for me
I know plenty n***as
Never there for me, man
That's I why chose my friends
Very carefully, man
Cause I only wanna
Be around
Who cares for me, man
Yo there's snakes in the field
Gotta beat the gra** harder
When u out here making paper
Like your name is Cai Lun
They say the sky the limit
But I'm aiming for the moon
Whether the slow grind
Or otherwise
I'm bound to make it soon
Yo the flow so wavy
Like tsunamis
This the new New York
And I'm feeling like Fonzie
Been made off
But I swear
This no ponzi
I ain't no CON see
All I know is GRIND
You don't know me
If u talking once upon a time
Yeah I'm still the same ninja
With the money on my mind
Got to go
Get it
And I'm from the X
So u know it's straight cash
All these haters never gon last
They be staving like the all fast
I be out here with the biddies
And the all bad
"what u call that?"
If u ask me
I would say that's real rap
When u chase dollars
b**hes gon call back
Yea they call back
But I fall back
Not one of these b**hes
Get a dime from me
Unless they are willing
To grind for me
I tell em bad b**hes
To grind for me
Cause slow grind better nada mami
