Been on the grind hustling and trying to get it in
Going back and forth with the pad and the pen
Trying to spread the truth and put the pain to an end
But I don't think understand where I've been
Ain't no use, is what teacher said about me back in high school
I'd be a drop out junkie and I was born to lose
I wouldn't last a day, I'd be locked up covered up or blown away
Head shoulder like a soldier took over and I got my cash on
Tryna stack a boulder big enough for me to pass on to the kids
Got one life to live I can't take it with me so I'm living it here
Ain't no use in trying to take what's mine a lot of brown bag filled
And a whole lot of time I took to get
Here a lot of dead homies and spilled beers
I found my own lane I hit the gas and I switch gears
A long bumpy road looking back but I'm still here
Ain't no turning back motherfucker I live here
Wouldn't last a day, In my shoes you go on and try but it
Ain't no use
Y'all don't know what I've been through
Been on the grind and I paid my dues
You wouldn't last a day, In my shoes your welcome to try but it
Ain't no use
Been on the grind just trying to get by
Shoes tied tight and I'ma get mine
Only speak the truth put that on my life
But often I feel like
Ain't no use
I came from the gutter koolaid and oatmeal
Every dollar I made was a from a dope deal
Hammy down shoes they kept me cool
They a size to big but they look like jewels
All up in school running the hallways
Atleast on the days I made it I was tardy like always
I only came to party no work and all play
Hard headed motherfucker give a damn what y'all say, ain't no use
In trying to get in my way
Pioneerin' my city and I paved the way
I thought I, wouldn't last a day
All I say I ha ha
Slid in the game like a cha-cha
Pockets on swole like papa money I get allota
I pack us up the beast and hit the streets like wallah
Wallah wouldn't last a day ain't no use
Y'all don't know what I been through
Been on the grind and I paid my dues
You wouldn't last a day
In my shoes your welcome to try but it
Ain't no use
Been on the grind just trying to get by
Shoes tied tight and I'ma get mine
Only speak the truth put that on my life
But often I feel like, ain't no use
Walk tall through the struggle change the truth
Hoping none of y'all have to walk a day in my boots
Tryna reignite the dreams and hope in the
Youth and often times I feel like, ain't no use
You think the kids got problems look at who they parents is
All I want to tell em is
I wouldn't last a day in they shoes
I'd kill myself 'fore I let my child lose
Caught up in system the wisdom missed em
They crying out for help but nobody listens
Now they just victims products of they environments a tired excuse
And everybody's tired of it
Ain't no use in not doing nothing put your work boots on
Get up get out and get some set an example for your offspring
Put your family first and place God above all things
Life is short think big and chase tall dreams
Don't ever sell your soul for some
You wouldn't last a day
In trying to get by you can go on and try
But I wouldn't advise it
Yall what I been through been on the grind and paid my dues
You wouldn't last a day
In my shoes your welcome to try but it
Ain't no use
Been on the grind just trying to get by
Shoes tied tight and I'ma get mine
Only speak the truth put that in my life but often I feel like
Ain't no use
Wouldn't last a day
Ain't no use
