Steady On the Grind

Every day is a struggle

how to hustle some doe

If you was raised in the hood

well then you already know

It be days that be good

but mostly money be slow

Have you ever been hungry before?

Steady on the grind Stead on the grind

â'Cause I got to make it happen

my family depending on me

Steady on the grind Steady on the grind

â'Cause I got to make it happen

â'aint nobody gone do it for me

ha ooh wa ooh ha ooh wa ooh

ha ooh wa ooh ha ooh wa ooh

Steady on the grind

Daily on the grind

Money on my mind

So heavy on my mind So heavy on my mind

Mommy got a job makin' bout six-somethin' an hour

She became the breadwinner when daddy was unemployed

Working forty-plus hours and kissing ass

Seeming like the only honest way she can get some cash

She struggglin' â- she don't know I be hustlin' pulling my own weight

I be hearing them fuss and fightin' at night mad late

Over economics; it's logic meaning they don't got it

Living in the projects, money's the only object

She makes $280 a week, standing on her feet

The ends ain't even meeting â- the family ain't eatin'

Cause if taxes is 10%, and the rest if for the rent

Then crime is what u get and niggaz is innocent

See it really ain't about if you eatin' or not eatin'

It's breathin' or not breathin' â- freedom or not freedom

â'nother day, â'nother way, â'nother dollar spent

Gotta make a revolution out of fifteen cent.
