Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life, my life, this is my life
Uhh
[Verse 2]
What you know 'bout the grind in the streets
He movin' work out of town every week
I know about it
I know about it
What y'all know about them girls on the pole?
She make her money every night, taking off her clothes
I know about it
Yep, I know about it, oh
[Verse 3]
'Cause all my life, I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from, **** die every day
Bet you ain't never seen a **** die in your face
[Verse 4]
The life, the life, the sacrifice
The grind, the grind you get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you don't know nothin' 'bout it
We try and try to live it right
But we get blinded by the light, oh, oh
I know about it
Don't judge if you don't know nothin' 'bout it, oh
[Verse 5]
These **** turnin' hoes into wives
Went in raw, now you stuck with her for life
I know about it
Bet y'all know somethin' about it
Three years, he been doin' the same thing
You can hang it up, you'll never get a ring
'Cause I know about it
Bet I know somethin' about it, oh
[Verse 6]
'Cause all my life, I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from, it ain't flowers and candy
I'm just happy the life didn't get me
[Verse 7]
The life, the life, the sacrifice
The grind, the grind you get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you don't know nothin' 'bout it
We try and try to live it right
But we get blinded by the light, oh, oh
I know about it
Don't judge if you don't know nothing 'bout it
[Verse 8]
Ah, yeah
I say the life, the life
The streets is a bitch and I made her my wife, wife
I made her my wife
I couldn't afford, but I made her my price
'Cause under the lights, the money, the cars
Even the ice, I wanted it all
So we was up nights from sellin' it raw
And duckin' them D from a hell of a charge
I wanted to shine amongst with the stars
I wanted to grind, they tellin' me, nah
I felt like these **** was telling me starve
My mama she told me, I'm headed for bars
And where did it take me?
To a cell and a yard
Running bar with the killers
Talking fellas and all
[Verse 9]
The life, the life, the sacrifice
The grind, the grind can you get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you don't know nothing 'bout it
We try and try to live it right
But we get blinded by the light, oh, oh
I know about it
Don't judge if you don't know nothing 'bout it, oh
[Verse 10]
You got the right one
You got the right one
I just really hate you
All that game you been runnin'
Now, it's time that I played you
Yeah
And why I let you do me
Like go wide open
You ran right through me
But you didn't find the right one, ****
[Verse 11]
Fuck you
And all that
Blast open
