[Spoken Intro: Pusha T, Yoo Q!, NPR Music Team]

(That's hot)

We got day one Clipse family in here?

Yeah (Woo)

Day one? (Yeah)

Mm-'kay, let's take it back to where it all began

[Intro: Yoo Q!, Pusha T, Both]

Come on, we gon' party now

Come on, let's go, what?

I'm yo' pusha

Come on, come on, let's go

Come on, let's go

Come on, get goin'

I'm yo' pusha

The world is (Yeah) about to feel somethin' that they

I'm yo' pusha

Never felt before (Uh)

I got you T, come on (Uh), let's get 'em

Let's go, let's go

[Verse 1: Pusha T, Clipse, Yoo Q!, All]

From ghetto to ghetto, to backyard to yard

I sell it whippеd, un-whipped, it’s soft or hard

I'm the, neighborhood pusha

Call mе Subwoofer, 'cause I pump base like that, Jack

On or off the track, I'm heavy, cuz

Ball 'til you fall 'cause you could duck to the Feddy Govs

Sorry, my love, what I'm seein' through these eyes (Yeah)

Benz convoys with the wagon on the side (Yeah)

Only big boys keep deuces on the ride (Yeah)

Gucci Chuck Taylor with the dragon on the side

Man, I make a buck, why scram?

I'm tryna show y'all who the fuck I am (Yeah)

The jewels is flirtin', be damned if I'm hurtin'

Legend in two games like I'm Pee Wee Kirkland

Platinum on the block with consistent hits

While Pharrell keep talkin' this music shit

[Pre-Chorus: Clipse with Yoo Q!, Pusha T]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

We're just grindin'

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

We're just grindin'

[Chorus: Clipse, Yoo Q!]

Where my money makers at?

(We grindin')

Where my money makers at?

(We grindin')

Where my money makers at?

(We grindin')

Whoa, whoa

[Verse 2: Malice, Clipse, Yoo Q!, All]

Patty cake, patty cake (Uh-uh), I'm the baker's man

I bake them cakes as fast as I can

And you can tell by how my bread stack up

Then disguise it as rap so the Feds back up

Watch it, like my whip, like my chick topless

Doin' a buck-six with me in the cockpit (Uh-huh)

Grindin', cousin, I got wholes for a dozen

Even eleven-five if I see ya keep it comin'

And my weight, that's just as heavy as my name (Uh)

So much dough, I can't swear I won't change

Excuse me if my wealth got me full of myself

Cocky, something that I just can't help (Uh-huh)

'Specially when them twenties is spinnin' like windmills

And the ice thirty-two below minus the wind chill (Uh-huh)

Filthy, the word that best defines me

I'm just grindin', man, y'all never mind me

[Pre-Chorus: Yoo Q! with Clipse]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Come on, y'all, we just grindin'

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (Keep it goin', keep it goin')

We just grindin'

[Chorus: Clipse, Yoo Q!, All]

Where my money makers at?

(We grindin')

Where my money makers at?

(We grindin')

Where my money makers at?

(We grindin')

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Sing along, y'all

[Bridge: Everyone, King Sis & Tariq Ali, King Sis, Yoo Q!]

We're all grindin' (Whoa)

You know what I keep in the linin' (Whoa)

Niggas better stay in line when (Whoa)

You see a nigga like me shinin'

We're just grinding (Okay, grindin')

You know what I keep in the lining (Whoa)
