Текст песни Grind Til' I Die (feat. nicole carino) - TMP

My time has come for me to shine
I'll light the fire and I will fight
Until this light leaves my eyes
I'll grind until the day I die

They think I'm tryin' to be pretentious
These bitches think that I'm itchin' to brag about all my riches
And bashin' me cause I'm spittin'
They actin' like I'm pretending that I have no good intentions
That I'm actually practicing rapping for the benjamins
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't geeked to maybe make a few g's and come at me
If you think that I'm being greedy for having a dream of gettin' a crib for me and my family so be it
I'm just an independent artist that's startin' from the darkest of the underground but shootin' for the stars
I'm tired of sittin' here and waitin' wasting my life away
At a nine to five that couldn't give a damn if I died today
I'm spittin' bars and raising em' lookin' my demons in the eye and facing em'
Gathering motivation to sustain my elevation to eventually attain my destination
I'll mow anybody down that tries to stop my grind for greatness

My time has come for me to shine
I'll light the fire and I will fight
Until this light leaves my eyes
I'll grind until the day I die

Startin' off as a joe blow and lookin' to go pro is a goal that everybody should hold close
I mean just look at the greatest and how they made it
You think they let the hate take away from the greater picture nah it just motivated em'
To be the greatest you gotta forget the haters and all of the naysayers
They hatin' cause they got an inflated cranium they hiding they faces
They masqueraded they see that you're makin' it
They want a piece of the cake
But they keep sleepin' on you like a Tempur-Pedic
They dreamin' that they could be in your shoes but they won't get on their feet
Can't you see? They lack the soul and ambition and passion
They only goal is to have some hoes and a mansion
So they half ass it and hope for some magic
It's sad to see how many rappers try to act like they the baddest
Like they Bonnie and Clyde or Jekyll and Hyde
I think they need to clean out they're eyes
Some Visine might be the right thing so they can finally see my time

My time has come for me to shine
I'll light the fire and I will fight
Until this light leaves my eyes
I'll grind until the day I die

Listen this is a mission don't go into this shit wishin'
Your only vision is to get rich quick
Cause homie you missin' the true definition of givin' your all and riskin' it for the biscuit
You see in this business you gotta have the persistence
You can't just stand at a distance and assume that you gon' advance in this
I've been told by a birdy you gotta get dirty but it'll all be worth it in the end when you put all that work in
And you reapin' the benefits and you see your competitors can't set feet on your pedestal
They a bomb that'll never blow they should drop it and let it go
You're on your way to the top and ain't nothing gonna stop you
From obtaining your spot
You in this game but they not
They sittin' on the sidelines with the other wise guys trying to analyze you
They can just fantasize about what it must be like
To summarize it up it's your time to rise up and shine

My time has come for me to shine
I'll light the fire and I will fight
Until this light leaves my eyes
I'll grind until the day I die
My time has come for me to shine
I'll light the fire and I will fight
Until this light leaves my eyes
I'll grind until the day I die

I'll grind until the day I die
I'll grind until the day I die
