A History Grindin'

"A History of Grindin'"

I was destined fail
destined to fall
destined with wounds
and a scar on my jaw
supposed to join the gang
and shot in the streets
but I ain't ever let destiny
take the best of me
My daddy OG,
said to stay away
from the violence and drugs
that I see everyday
But that didn't stop the pain
from coming in my life
everynight I see moms
sliced pops with a knife
Welfare checks,
cheetos for dinner
My fam shared one
blanket during the winter
yeah it was tough
but we still had the love
got both mom & pop
grindin, tryna come up
My mom was a dropout
conceived me during high school
though she make mistakes
she's still my idol
went back to school
and so she gain
strength that overcame
the rain and the pain

History of grindin
tryna dig for diamonds
Pops sitting down
wondering his life went
Seeing him like this
shit it gotta hurt
living your life
feeling like you was born a curse
We always had talks
he was my guidance
through all the struggles
and all of the violence
He said, "son
live one way
grab life by the neck
put a gun to its face
don't ever run away
Cowards will die
with the sun on their face
Be proud of who you are
and ya blood & ya roots
Stand tall with pride
don't let no fuck with you"
Damn, I love those words
Always seem to pick me up
whenever I'm hurt
Still the dull rock
that's forever shinin
Still that dude livin
bro, I stay grindin
