And im grindin' till im tired
Coz they say you ain't grindin till you tired
So im grindin' with my eyes wide
Lookin' to find a way through the day
A life for the night
Dear lord you done took so many of my people im just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am i doin right?
My Life
Verse1
Im supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though i hold the weight of the whole
World on my shoulders
I ain't never s'posed to show it
My crew ain't s'posed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some sh** ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
That Ja sh** I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this sh** went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas sh**
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it

And im grindin' till im tired
Coz they say you ain't grindin till you tired
So im grindin' with my eyes wide
Lookin' to find a way through the day
A life for the night
Dear lord you done took so many of my people im just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am i doin right?
My Life
Verse2
We are not the same i am a martian
So approach my phantom doors with caution
You see them 24's spinnin'?
I earned em
And i ain't no preacher but heres my Erick Sermon
So eat this black music
And tell me how it tastes now
And F**k Jessie Jackson
Cause it ain't about race now
Sometimes i think about my life with my face down
Then i see my sons and put on that kanye smile
(my life)
Damn i know his momma proud and since you helped me sell my dream we can share my momma now
And like MJB no more drama now
Living the good life me and common on common ground
I spit crack and n***as can drive it outta town got a chris paul mind state im never out of bounds
My life used to be empty like a Glock without a round now my lifes full like a chopper with a thousand rounds
(hook)
And im grindin' till im tired
Coz they say you ain't grindin till you tired
So im grindin' with my eyes wide
Lookin' to find a way through the day
A life for the night
Dear lord you done took so many of my people im just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am i doin right?
My Life
Verse3
Still im having memories at high speeds when the cops crash
As i laugh pushing the gas while my Glocks blast
We were young and we were dumb but we had heart
In the dark will we survive through the bad parts
Many dreams is what i had
And plenty wishes
No hesitation in extermination of these snitches
Envious b**hes they still continue to persue me
I cut their movies now the whole worlds tryin' to screw me
Even the cops tryin' to do me
So what can i do?
But stay true
Sippin' 22's and brewin
Now the media is tryin ta test me
Got the press askin questions tryin' ta stress me
Misery is all i see thats my mind state
My history with the police has shake the crime rate
My main man had 2 strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped, he screamed "Thug life"! and emptied a clip
(hook)
And im grindin' till im tired
Coz they say you ain't grindin till you tired
So im grindin' with my eyes wide
Lookin' to find a way through the day
A life for the night
Dear lord you done took so many of my people im just wondering why you haven't taken my life
Like what the hell am i doin right?
