THINGS YOU LEARN WHILE ON THE GRIND

Yea

Things you learn while on the grind

Hold on

Yea

(mumbling lyrics)

Yea

Things you learn while on the grind

What?

You ain't got to the dough because you too busy countin' mine

(melodic) Why they always love you more when you doin' bad?

On God—shit, huh

(melodic) If you was always right, then why didn't your movement last?

(silence)

(chuckle) Hmph, let's talk about it

Eye to eye, we ain't gon' walk around it

Shit don't be the same once I take my sauce from 'round it

Baby, what a shame

Campaignin' in them awful garments

Lookin' like it look once you take a boss from 'round it

On God

Shit get shugly in these L.A. streets

(chuckle) They know we really did our dougie in these L.A. streets, hah

With these L.A. freaks, turnin' thugs to L.A. geeks

What a shame, these **** lettin' the lames laugh at L.A. streets

Compton, California, this how L.A. speaks

Shouts to Joe Moses and all of his L.A. chiefs—shit

The shit you learn while on the grind

Spend it wise, nothin's more expensive than your time

Yeah

Things you learn while on the grind

Only millions confuse facts with feelings, ****

A hit dog gon' holla

Game: Give her the lame, ****—listen up

Tearin' me down, don't big you up, you silly fuck

This ain't just rap, I'm really up, you fuckin' nut

Black-on-Black business is where we do the most fuckin' up

Black-on-Black love is where we do the most fuckin' up

Usin' white folks as a cover-up

Yeah, yeah, let's buckle up, take this ride with me

Both owner and the driver, come get on the side with me

Was talkin' from the passenger side, flexin' your gift of gab

Tellin' me where we need to go but won't put in on the gas

Big idea man, better advice-giver than life-liver

Show me yourself, ****—put up your own cash for your dreams

And tell me how that lay out

See, this a trophy talkin'

You already saw how this played out, ****!

A hit dog gon' holla

(dog barking)
