Black Tears Music
I used to sit around and dream about this shit yeah yeah
I was in the hood, broke as a bitch yeah yeah
I went through the dark days, now we lit yeah yeah
Now I'm eatin' with those I was hungry with yeah yeah
All my life (All my life)
All my life (All my life)
Ayy, I been grindin' all my life, yeah (I been grindin' all my life)
All my life (All my life)
All my life (All my life)
Yeah, I been grindin' all my life, yeah yeah yeah
(I been grindin' all my life yeah yeah)
First of all RIP to, hhm
Tryna do everything he did, hhm
I can never go broke, I got kids, hhm
Hustle got me takin' all these trips, hhm
I'm tryna get it for real
And no I'm not signing a deal
I'm tryna run up a mill
I'ma take care of the bill
I know how poverty fee, ayyl
The hood be lovin' me still, ayy
I put the trap in the ville, ayy
On a song, I kill, ayy
**** be knowin' I'm trill, ayy
I got the sauce to spill, ayy
No time to chill, ayy
I'm at the top of the hill, ayy
In the middle of a classroom I would write a song, ayy, ayy
That's why I could never do no wrong, ayy, ayy
I used to sit around and dream about this shit yeah yeah
I was in the hood, broke as a bitch yeah yeah
I went through the dark days, now we lit yeah yeah
Now I'm eatin' with those I was hungry with yeah yeah
All my life (All my life)
All my life (All my life)
Ayy, I been grindin' all my life, yeah (I been grindin' all my life)
All my life (All my life)
All my life (All my life)
Yeah, I been grindin' all my life, yeah yeah yeah
(I been grindin' all my life yeah yeah)
My OG told me "Get it how you live", hhm
Motherfuckers ain't gon' give you shit, hhm
Hustle Gang like I'm Tip, hhm
Used to tell 'em 'bout my dreams, they would, hhm
I used to dream about it
Livin' in a township
I was fantasisin'
I can't live without my bitch
I got drip, I make hits
Haters ain't talkin' 'bout shit, ayy, ayy
Let me just say this though
Umdali wa libona ukuthi babenkhomba
Ya ndathath' indebe ngoba ilanga liya shona
Kwakungelula
Ingekho' imvula
Nandingavuya, abakuthi beguya
Abakuthi beguya
Abakuthi beguya
I used to sit around and dream about this shit yeah yeah
I was in the hood, broke as a bitch yeah yeah
I went through the dark days, now we lit yeah yeah
Now I'm eatin' with those I was hungry with yeah yeah
All my life (All my life)
All my life (All my life)
Ayy, I been grindin' all my life, yeah (I been grindin' all my life)
All my life (All my life)
All my life (All my life)
Yeah, I been grindin' all my life, yeah yeah yeah
(I been grindin' all my life yeah yeah
