[ 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 f**ing 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 k** 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, f**, man, I'm just giving more,
f** love, show no love, love will get you k**ed,
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?
