Chorus] - Lil Wayne
And I'm grinding til im tired today.
So you aint grindin' til you die
So I'm grindin' wit my eyes wide
Lookin' to find, a way through the day
A life of the night.
Dear Lord, you took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin' why you havn't taken my life...
Like what the hell am I doin' right...
My Life...
[Verse 1] - The Game
Take me away from the hood like a state penetentiary
Take me away from the hood in the casket or a Bentley
Take me away... like I overdosed on cocaine
Or Take me away, like a bullet from Kurt Cobaine, suicide
I'm from a windy city, like "Do or Die"
From a block close to where Biggy was crucified
That was Brooklyn's Jesus shot for no f*****' reason
And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces
'Cause that's Jesus people and Game needs the equal
Hated on so much, "Passion of Christ" need a sequel
Yeah... like Roc-a-fella needed Sigel
Like I needed my father, but he needed a needle
I need some meditation, so I can leave my people
They askin' "Why"? Why did John Lennon leave The Beatles?
And why every hood n**** feed off evil?
Answer my question 'fore this bullet leave this Desert Eagle...
[Chorus] - Lil Wayne
And I'm grinding til im tired today.
So you aint grindin' until you die
So I'm grindin' wit my eyes wide
Lookin' to find,
A way through the day, A life of the night.
Dear Lord, you took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin' why you havn't taken my life...
Like what the hell am I doin' right...
My life....
[Verse 2] - The Game
We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my phantom doors with caution
You see them 24's spinnin'? I earned 'em
And I aint no preacher but here's my Erik Sermon
So eat this black music and tell me how it taste now
And f*** Jesse Jackson coz it aint about race now
Sometimes I think about my life, wit my face down
Then I see my sons, and put on that Kanye smile
d*** I know his Momma proud,
and since you helped me sell my dream
We can share my Momma now,
And like MJB, no more drama now
Livin' the good life, me and Common on common ground
I spit crack and n***** could drive it outta town
Gotta Chris Paul mind state, I'm never outta bounds
My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
Now my life full, like a chopper with a thousand rounds...
[Chorus] - Lil Wayne
And I'm grinding til im tired today.
So you aint grindin' until you die
So I'm grindin' wit my eyes wide
Lookin' to find,
A way through the day, A life of the night.
Dear Lord, you took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin' why you havn't taken my life...
Like what the hell am I doin' right...
My life....
[Verse 3] - The Game
Walk through the gates of Hell,
see my Impala parked in front
With the high beams on,
me and the Devil sharing chronic blunts
Listenin' to the "Chronic" album, playin' backwards,
shootin' at pictures of Don Armus? for target practice
My mind f***** up, so I cover it with a Raider hood
I'm from the city that made you m************ afraid of Suge
(Compton, Compton... ;)
Made my grandmother pray for good
And never made her happy, when I bet that new Mercedes could
Ain't no bars, but n***** can't escape the hood
They took so many of my n***** that I should hate the hood
But it's real n***** like me that make the hood
Ridin' slow with that Phantom just the way I should
With the top back, in my Sox hat
I'm paid in full, the n**** Alpo couldn't stop that
Even if they brought the n**** 'Pac back
I'd still keep this m*********** c***ed back...
[Chorus] - Lil Wayne
And I'm grinding til im tired today.
So you aint grindin' until you die
So I'm grindin' wit my eyes wide
Lookin' to find...
A way through the day, A life of the night.
Dear Lord, you took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin' why you havn't taken my life...
Like what the hell am I doin' right...
And I'm grinding til im tired today.
So you aint grindin' til you die
So I'm grindin' wit my eyes wide
Lookin' to find, a way through the day
A life of the night.
Dear Lord, you took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin' why you havn't taken my life...
Like what the hell am I doin' right...
