(Intro)

Young, Sway, Beats,............

(Chorus)

Cause I've been on my grind for a minute babe

Since I was young I loved singing babe

I learn things best when I go through pain

16 years and ain't a scent worth to my name

Not a scent

Give it all I got to mind and flesh broken

I been going hard for the guap I'm not joking

We've all been through things in are life

But I'm one of the few who has actually spoken

I don't always wanna be in this crummy apartment

I wanna grow new foundation for my next to harvest

Go the hardest

Cause I'm not simple minded like most music artist

(Verse 1)

It seems like the drama and praying for mama was my drive

We were just poor, but to me it was a fight to the death to survive

You can see it in my eyes, hesitation not a single ounce

These hoes ain't loyal without some loud and Ciroc watch how quick the Lil shorty bounce

I could care less about some drama

I came in studio with a couple quarters on me and I'm confident that I'm gone leave with a comma

That's word to my momma (whoa!)

Unlike most I'm not simple minded (Nope)

Like check out my ice like the window shining (Shining)

On the real nobody wanna hear that fake it till you make it crap, that's not why I started rhyming

On the real though

I invested all the money I had in my music career (True)

But that didn't make my problems disappear (Nope)

This grind took a lot of blood sweat and tears (That's facts)

Everybody wanna be rappers nowadays I've been rapping almost seven years (Yup)

I just wanna get money and express myself I don't give a damn if people cheer

I'd pine you girl but I'm faithful (Loyal)

That's something you gotta respect (Respect)

You sweet but I don't want ya (Nope)

If all you do is swing neck

Right now I just want a check and some piece of mind

I hit mans up for tracks but they make me wait three days like it's Easter time

Tryna kawal me for beats without a single dime

I got my future a head of me

Lord protect me from amphetamines drugs or the powder with any means necessary

I'm hella depressed cause the future is scary

Hard to find the definition of my future without a dictionary

No skate board but I know for sho that

(Chorus)

I've been on my grind for a minute babe

Since I was young I loved singing babe

I learn things best when I go through pain

16 years and ain't a scent worth to my name

Not a scent

Give it all I got to mind and flesh broken

I been going hard for the guap I'm not joking

We've all been through things in are life

But I'm one of the few who has actually spoken

I don't always wanna be in this crummy apartment

I wanna grow new foundation for my next to harvest

Go the hardest

Cause I'm not simple minded like most music artist

(Verse 2)

Recently my Music status just been so pathetic, (So sad)

I wanna rock stages, (Yup)

And go out and get it (Get it)

My pockets are empty, (True)

But my spirit ain't, (Nope)

Praise to the heavenly father (Wooh!)

I'm a lyric saint (Ya!)

Go hard in the gym, go harder in school, go harder in life, I give it my best

I've been on a mission with my fam that I call a tribe rest in piece to phife, than get back to the quest

Gotta ace this test

Gotta kill it in the stu

So promoters impressed

I'm not rich or thug I'm just a Little yout from the lakeside who really knows how to dress

I joke but just know that Keyontay ain't

Like house renovation I go hard in the paint (Wooh!)

I'm working on me I could care less about how you feel (Nope)

I'm tryna get accepted the struggle is real (That's facts)

I've been on my own been thinking like a maverick

I don't do no drugs but I'm a rapping addict (Yup)

Tired of no job, trust me I've had it (Yup)

Real strong in character now but will all of that change if I start living lavish

Idk, I don't know

Tryna make a life without using hookers and blow

Cause my momma struggled hard for her children while my dad got welfare checks and trapped on the low

That does not determine my future no

So while I invest in my self I'm a reap what I sow

I was grinding on a regular

I don't think my momma believed me

Just cause I don't pay bills

That don't mean my life is easy

Handing out resumes never get a call back

Volunteering my time to employers who think I ain't all that

While hiring rich kids who ain't need the job and still tryna get a contract

(Chorus)

Cause I've been on my grind for a minute babe

Since I was young I loved singing babe

I learn things best when I go through pain

16 years and ain't a scent worth to my name

Not a scent

Give it all I got to mind and flesh broken

I been going hard for the guap I'm not joking

We've all been through things in are life

But I'm one of the few who has actually spoken

I don't always wanna be in this crummy apartment

I wanna grow new foundation for my next to harvest

Go the hardest

Cause I'm not simple minded like most music artist
