Lyrics

Taking shots
Having fun never did come with Grace
Been in a hood from where I’m from
You see a lot girls but I got my taste
You see the work rate
We grinding
Holdin’ on I still got my faith
My brothers in jail for crimes they didn’t commit
The worlds’ a funny place
247 workin’ Grind start up
When the sun comes up I’m workin’
Tryna stay paper free
If we datin’, I’m in for feelings don’t need billings
Life gets sadder and sadder
It’s crazy but it’s the world we live in
You can’t relate these lines I’m rapping
Okay
Let me break it down and sing it
What’s your motion plan
Cut the crap and get up
Are you not fed up
Missing occasional fun to build permanent stability ain’t no loss
So lock-in
No one ever believed when I started
The road came though and some homies vanish
Some made it out and start to lavish
I was working hard so I wouldn’t perish
Mom and Dad broke out of marriage
Shit came tough and we had to manage
Got a job as a housing cleaner
Some of the times I would sleep in the passage
Job didn’t pay so I move to my brethren
He cooked for me and I used his mattress
Involves myself in things I didn’t imagine
Come into street doing shitty business
People calling my phone
I can’t pick the call or answer the phone
I can’t do anything on my own
Cause the place that I’m in is like a war zone
I know dem man talking my name on their mouth like chitchat
I don’t even act like I hear that
Fuck that
I don’t even care about love
My only aim is the paper
I miss on them times when me and lil bro would run round street of Lagos
Time fly by and as we got wise we took our dream so serious
I never did girls, still chasing bags
I cannot relent cuh the grind is endless
So many love and hate, don’t know what is real
Got me feeling nervous
