The Grind

Mm-mm

Ayy-yeah

Oh-woah-oh-oh

Derrick got that dope, boy!

I came from nothin'

You know I made it out the mud and I was strugglin'

No heat inside the house, we used the oven (Ayy)

From the bottom to the top and now I'm buzzin'

We was grindin' in the dark and now we're suttin' (Ayy)

She didn't wanna show me love when I was buggin' (Mm)

Now she see me on the 'Gram in different countries

And we always prayed to God

When the times were gettin' hard

Now the grind is paying off and now I love it

Felt like I was stuck in a cage

Working that minimum wage

Turned to Allah then I prayed (Phew)

Making bank and then find me a way (Way)

Then He answered, I started a wave (Wave)

All the baraka, I'm getting paid (Paid)

All my haters, I put 'em to shame (Shame)

Put respect when you call on my name (Boom!)

Trust me, I've been through a lot (Lot)

But that don't mean I'm gonna stop (Nah)

My **** be prayin' salah

Feed my mama, alhamdulillah (Yeah!)

I received the revelation (Woo)

Found Deen, I was patient (Yeah)

I was grinding' in the basement (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Can't forget where I came from

God works in mysterious ways, He on my side (Brrrp!)

I pull up in the booth and spit that fire like a drive-by (Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo, yeah!)

All these other rappers getting shook 'cause it's my time (Bo!)

I pray my mama proud of me (Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo!)

I came from nothin' (Woah-oh)

You know I made it out the mud and I was strugglin' (Made it)

No heat inside the house, we used the oven (Ayy)

From the bottom to the top and now I'm buzzin' (Now I'm buzzin')

We was grindin' in the dark and now we're somethin' (Woah-oh)

She didn't wanna show me love when I was buggin' (Ayy)

Now she see me on the 'Gram in different countries

And we always prayed to God (What?)

When the times were gettin' hard (What? Ah? What? Ayy)

Now the grind is paying off and now I love it

All the times in the dark, had no luck, I was praying to God right now (No)

Stressed out 'cause I'm the best out, but my time to pop it ain't now (Nah)

I'm holding on to my Deen because these times are harder right now (Harder right now)

So when I say ooh-aah, yeah I'm goin' in the spot right now

'You gotta grind before you shine, just take your time', I heard a wise man say (I heard him say)

I'm drivin' 'round with my window down and my hoodie up in the day (Day)

I'm grinding like I got five wives and three babies all on the way (Woo-hoo-hoo)

You try stop that Pamper money, I'm pullin' up with my sleigh (Yeah, yeah)

My **** in the mosque because you know we keep on sinning (Sinning)

I wipe away my sins, you know my weakness is these women (Ah)

This Dunya that I live in, the life that I've been livin'

I might go on location, I'm just prayin' I'm forgiven (Oh-woah-oh-oh)

I came from nothin' (Yeah-yeah)

You know I made it out the mud and I was strugglin' (Strugglin')

No heat inside the house, we used the oven (Oh-woah-oh)

From the bottom to the top and now I'm buzzin' (Ah-aah)

We was grindin' in the dark and now we're somethin' (Ayy)

She didn't wanna show me love when I was buggin' (She didn't wanna show me)

Now she see me on the 'Gram in different countries (I know you see me)

And we always prayed to God (Oh-woah-oh)

When the times were gettin' hard

Now the grind is paying off and now I love it

Oh-woah-woah-woah

Derrick got that dope, boy!
