From the peel on year to right now

Homegrown, I was raised about the project gravity

Yeah, we used to do flips on a mattress on

Holes in my clothes, my mom she sewed the patches on

Yeah, we came up poor, we know what was the hardest

Used to hustle for that bag in front of supermarkets

Yeah, learn how to hit the streets for the bag

Tired of holes in my clothes, you know my feet looking bad

Yeah, you know the wisdom, how to get the teasing

I knew the reason, but now it's time to get the bag and get the eating

Course slipping in the hood, I ain't see the door

Robbed me for the radio I had and the tapes too

Self-driven, not to say the least

Move through the field shaking, whip beneath my feet

Tore properly from G's, yeah I grind along

I grind along

I grind along

Self-driven, not to say the least

Move through the field shaking, whip beneath my feet

Tore properly from G's, yeah I grind along

I get to that business on my own

I learned that knowledge was to be observant

Then your wisdom, get the understanding, you'll see the picture perfect

That's in detail, yeah you know specifics

Fourteen, barrel in my face, I'm thinking different

Seventeen, I needed more than just a little poke

I need a nine strapped to me with the hanger holster

Yeah, I went from victim to a predator

No more jewels, supermarkets, liquor stores, give me registers

Self-driven, not to say the least

Move through the field shaking, whip beneath my feet

Tore properly from G's, yeah I grind along

I grind along

I grind along

Self-driven, not to say the least

Move through the field shaking, whip beneath my feet

Tore properly from G's, yeah I grind along

I get to that business on my own
