[Chorus]
Rise and grind
Rise and grind
Only those work will be sure to eat
So we grind and stay grounded like burger meat
[Verse]
Husband and Father so I loss the option to grind
We gotta eat so i gotta work if not it's a crime
Didn't think I was lazy, farthest thought in my mind
Going through daily transformation like Optimus Prime
The sun is rising on the horizon, the day is new
Ain't sanctification but the industry's changing too
Some thangs are cool, but the game is fooling us Jay was schooling
They came with suits and a case of mula were gave them music
And now it's colonized, culture sold for the dollar sign
Now they make the rules if they say it's cool then we idolize
Some break the rules and still make it through, and were not surprised
They play into it but ain't as stupid as lots of guys
They compromise, without selling out, they can walk the line
And tell us 'bout the brighter side of the dotted line
When not to sign, some spell it out, they drop the signs
We caught the lines but rebel in doubt if we're not as wise
So this is my declaration of independence
Don't get it twisted my Lamp Mode family isn't distant
I'm spitting with them on something coming, you'll get to listen
You've been the witness of differences that commit to mission
But every beginning has an ending just ask S.O
It's more than business it was a friendship, just ask Esso
We'll transcend in the transition it's that special
But the track spins my lungs have wind and I can't rest so...
Rise and grind
Rise and grind
Only those work will be sure to eat
So we grind and stay grounded like burger meat
