The Grind Lyrics by Grafter

B.O.S.S. (Built On Self Success)

2014

[Verse 1]
Ugh, sittin’ here alone, nothing but me and my microphone
Drinking straight patron, in the zone, now my mind’s blown
Been bumpin’ round Europe fucking things like the economy
But don’t assume nothing; or you’ll make an ass out of you and me
Truthfully I never thought I’d be doing this
But rhyming’s a piece of piss and I’d hate to reminisce
But now I’m off to Hurst
Worst curse that I’ve been given is a flow with a rhythm
Driven only by success and the paper that is given
Livin’ only for the moment cause tomorrow’s never promised
Honest-ey is a must, loyalty is essential
Credentials that I have to live by
And if you be conflicting, then I’ll say goodbye
Who am I to be so demanding?
Grafter is the name, I hope you’re understanding
That when I do a show, this name you’ll be chanting
And to any haters, this name you’ll be ranting

[Hook x2]
They hate me cause I'm fresh; they hate me cause I'm clean
All these fuckin' faggots can't stand the way I gleam
Just look at all their faces; you'll see just what I mean
This life that I'm living, for them is just a dream

[Verse 2]
‘Cause you buy second hand, I role up in my new shit
I’m making more money while you sit on benefit
These bitches call me Hugo, ‘cause they know I'm the Boss
I keep my shit in motion, now jump like Kris Kross
I'm always on my cardio; see me I gotta run this
Making business deals, you see I got to fund this
Lavish life I'm living, Charlie Sheen, I'm winning
These haters got me grinning, your girl I got her singing
I speak it how I live it and now you’re getting livid
‘Cause I’m self-driven, I’m self-made
You won’t catch me in bed unless I’m getting laid
I’m always loyal to a good deal
And unlike you I gotta keep it real
You go back and forth like a foreskin
And trust me your story’s wearing thin
Me I’m like Chlamydia, ‘cause I’m easy to spread
Just like butter, yeah I’m all upon my bread
And now I’m in your head just off them two lines
Invasion of privacy, I just ignored the signs
Ahh!

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3]
Now I’ve worked out mathematically how to come up systematically
I know exactly what I’m gonna do from here on out
I’m gonna go with my gut feeling and ignore whatever you gotta say
Maybe becoming an arrogant bastard is the only way
Hey, dirty, grimey, gritty plus my lyrics are so witty
Rollin’ round the inner city plus my attitude is shitty
Fiddy pounds in my wallet but you know I’m after more
Sure I’ve got an honest job but I’m willing to explore
Into pockets into bags, get that money get that cash
Stash is away somewhere safe, play it cool just play it safe
Don’t attract attention to ya if you want your cash to accumulate
Just think it through and keep it straight, wait then go get the bait
Hate is always given’, so love will follow close behind
But most is fake and undefined; you don’t have to be a mastermind
So don’t be kind or I will remind, how shit like that don’t go combined
This is refined so get behind, and now I welcome you into the grind

[Hook x2]

[Verse 4]
All these people feel inferior being judged by their exterior
Superiority doesn't give authority
You gotta earn it, be respected
Get right out there, get connected
Raise your game up, be detected
No longer will I be neglected; In this rap game
See I do what I wanna do while you do what you must
I keep a small circle, there’s not many that I trust
Yeah I'm fucking ill but I keep my shit together
And when I make it rain your girl will be under the weather
Hehe
