[Chorus]

We come from Fords and expeditions

Slanging papers with ambition

'Cause back in my younger days

That's just how we make a living

That's how I was taught to grind

Learned to hustle from my moms

That's that G shit

And the G simply stands for grind


[Post-Chorus]

Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind


[Verse]

I'ma drop this shit for the hell of it

'Cause I'm outchea grinding, can't tell me shit

People asking me why you took so long, how you go so strong? 'Cause it's timing in all this shit

Will a nigga tryna let his past go, get reminded of all his shit?

Niggas don't go as hard as I do, I be fighting for all that I get

I got a question, why you hating on me? 'Cause I'm probably grinding his bitch

Everybody who was checking for a nigga and was reppin' for a nigga, I appreciate your prayers, I respect you, my nigga

A lot of these lames kept hatin' on a nigga, when I took a little fall, you was steppin' on a nigga

If you keep it one, then I salute you, my nigga, if I see you coming for me I shoot you, my nigga

But you're gunnin' like I got somethin' to prove my nigga, bet you couldn't walk a mile in my shoes, my nigga

A lot of my niggas ain't here this year, I cry for all my niggas

Love everybody in my squad, I die for all them niggas

I give a fuck about these rumors, 'cause the truth will never be in them

And they love to see when I'm losing, so they hate to see when I'm winning

That boathouse on the hill, I'm in it, only 22, but I'm 'bout my business

If there's a million-dollar club, I'm in it, determined to get it, so this shit don't faze me

Even though I'm me, I don't see no competition, I refuse to be defeated

A lot of these nigga ain't working at all, I chase this check for my family and all

I just got out of the coma, it showed me that when God is for me no weapon can hold me

That's why I go hard for N.O. and my homies and I pay homage to niggas before me

Fool came back and told me go hard like Ginobili and grind for all this shit

Doctor tell me I'm exhausted and shit, can't stop now I'm never gon' quit

Not until I see my mama not wantin' for nothin'

And I see my brothers just living for a living

And I see my squad spending money like it's nothin'

That's why I'm grinding everyday to make a way because


[Chorus]

We come from Fords and expeditions

Slanging papers with ambition

'Cause back in my younger days

That's just how we make a living

That's how I was taught to grind

Learned to hustle from my moms

That's that G shit

And the G simply stands for grind

Nigga, I'm grinding for all us


[Bridge]

My nigga, I'm grindin' for all my shit

Nigga, I'm grindin' for all my shit

Nigga grindin’ for all my shit

Nigga grindin’ for all my shit

Nigga grindin’ for all my shit

Nigga grindin’ for all my shit


[Outro]

I'ma drop this shit for the hell of it

'Cause I'm outchea grinding, can't tell me shit
