Life is life or death, why? Why try to decipher habits Handed down genetic? No credit But I didn't ask Matt Seledic Mind still athletic Body doesn't match the aesthetic Danny get it, but you gotta let it ride I'm not offended At times my skull ended up bent More than I intended Used to be truly another dude But that can't be defended Rough and tough just wasn't enough But look what my pen did Tomorrow and pending, beginning and ending No longer care to be the shinola at the shindig Still wanna win big If it's a benefit to fam otherwise I give a damn Folks tryin' to run a scam on a brother man Other than that, it's just the lay of the land What you want said? Run scared from the bloodshed Trust me, I don't understand that either They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that But the Grind don't care 'bout that They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills I'm coming harder than the outer skin on a rock Work hard, good things happen Chip off the ole block Crumb with a dumb skill Ill as they come, I'm no longer in the street But I'm still up at dawn Some habits hard to kick Like a shadow that you thought you saw I'm off the wall Like photos in a 6.4 magnitude on the Richter Maybe I'll start a clothing line called Metaphors A global campaign, set the brand off in Singapore Yeah right, without my wife I'd just be another singer, poor God is good The truth is raw like the wasted youth spent goofin' off None of your problems get solved When the law's involved Then it evolves and you tell the cops to gobble the balls And then it snowballs into probable cause But remember the wobbly wheel don't last long They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that But the Grind don't care 'bout that They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that Yeah I'm top shelf, bottom locker Button down collar Chunky white New Balances and Dockers Still rock hot shit That shouldn't be a shocker But I came to realize I'm not the bad motherfucker That I was, once upon a young, dumb imagination I don't believe in guns so don't make me raise it Boone's just your basic cat Just spits real crazy. I imagine if you ask folks Bat shit maybe? Yeah, whatever, never been like that Really? I'm obsessively observant obviously And oblivious, possibly I lack sleep like a caddy backseat When the trunk bumps loops as a young buck pukes Trips down miracle strip Just a laidback B OO NE Anyone tests Danny You in trouble yo They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that But the Grind don't care 'bout that They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that But the Grind don't care 'bout that They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that But the Grind don't care 'bout that They say I can't, so I think I will Crayola to payola The kid been ill Lookin' for a break Can't pay them bills But the Grind don't care 'bout that But the Grind don't care 'bout that
