Slave To the Grind

You got me forced to crack my lids in two I'm still stuck inside this rubber room I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind I'm just another gear in the assembly line, oh no The noose gets tighter around my throat But I ain't at the end of my rope 'Cause I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Get it? A routine injection, a lethal dose But my day in the sun ain't even that close There's no need to waste your prayers on me You better mark my words 'cause I'm history Yes indeed You might beg for mercy to get by But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side 'Cause I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intention apart, brick by brick I'm sick of the jive, talk verbal insecticide They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intention apart, brick by brick I'm sick of the jive, talk verbal insecticide Well, I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind I said, slave to the grind Slave to the grind Slave to the grind
