Lyrics
On The Grind
V1Stryke
Running the club district quadruple times square unnatural mistic
money's got that
limp in the walk slang shot in New York
the wise survive like the snake in the grass young's talking thrash
wha the bumbocloth a gwon
remains to be seen so much going on
strong arm from the depths of the lungs the pit of the stom
hit em with nothing but acid dissect now he's classic
realistic footprints and shells scower
spread like manuer moreover bring something to the table uncontested stung each
pattern describes where I'm from unsolved exposure unit projects snapping necks twigs
that's right it's like ribs cage match no strings attached
dig
(chorus)
what the hell is going on
can't ya'll see I'm on my job
I been grindin going hard
ya'll can't see I'm on my job

V3
Don't let your dreams pass you by wake up smell the coffee
being observed like an autopsy concentrating like a natzi
as the world sits back the plot thickens billions vanish to scraps
crushin' blows slamming him to the turf he got booked matter of time before he burst feel no remorse curtains fall grafiti on the wall paying tribute
deadly vicinity
at any given tides turn we mourn while courts adjourn
some em pon the side other than 9 to 5 he's yearning to stay alive with thoughts hard like cement pushin' weight the starting lineup
sparks line the show dead that make doe searching for info
we flipped it with lingo we calling bingo shots
caus when the singles drop we cashin in on the crops
(chorus)
what the hell is going on
can't ya'll see I'm on my job
I been grindin going hard
ya'll can't see I'm on my job
