Grind Hard

(album: The Last Kiss - 2009)

[Mary J. Blige]
Oooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Oooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Oooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

[Mary J. Blige]
Now we shining hard just like we wanna do
Grinding day and night, so we can kick off our shoes
And there's the glamorous life
Look what we made it to!
We some real live bosses, got 'em looking at you
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To play harder (oooh-ooh!)
We touch the start (oooh-ooh!)
That's what they call us (oooh-ooh!)
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To fight 'em all off (oooh-ooh!)
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To play harder (oooh-ooh!)

[Jadakiss]
Ha-ha! Yo!
Twenty-four seven, three-six-five
If we ain't breaking 'em down, then we letting 'em fly!
Nah never I, always we
I came in the game dividing the pies by three
Then we got famished, so we set standards
Very similar to the (Ten Crack Commandments)
Some couldn't take it, others got lost and couldn't make it
We wanted to floss, but couldn't fake it!
The Hood embraced it, the rest is basic
No need to rush, be extra patient!
The new four-door Porsche is extra spacious
Same entourage, no extra faces!
Hands down, the best no explanations!
And to the top is the next destination!
And ain't no time-outs!
Death is the only time we gonna sign-out!
So we gonna grind out!
What?!

Now we shining hard just like we wanna do
Grinding day and night, so we can kick off our shoes
And there's the glamorous life
Look what we made it to
We some real live bosses, got 'em looking at you
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To play harder (oooh-ooh!)
We touch the start (oooh-ooh!)
That's what they call us (oooh-ooh!)
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To fight 'em all off (oooh-ooh!)
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To play harder (oooh-ooh!)

[Jadakiss]
Ha-ha! Ugh! Yeah! Yo!
Top 5, Dead Or Alive's what they consider him!
Soon as them things come in, we get rid of 'em
(Mo Money, Mo Problems) gotta live with 'em!
Only thing they care about is what you giving 'em!
Not the energy that you wasted in the game
Or the tears that trickled down your face from the pain
The time your jaw cracked, you wasted the 'caine
Had to do two shifts to make it the same!
That all changed, as soon as you tasted the fame
And it was all worth it, after you made you a name
Thanks to Our Heavily Father
We fly on the jet now, 'stead of the charter
Leave a nice tip in the front for the gardener
Do a lot of listening, so we stay smarter
Everybody's a hero, when they get scarred-up
It's my ball check it up, y'all better guard-up!
Let's go!

To fight 'em all off (oooh-ooh!)
We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To play harder (oooh-ooh!)
Harder!

[Mary J. Blige]
When we step up out that car
The whole damn world's looking at us
'Cause they knew what's from before
Now we ain't hurting no more
"You can bring me the girl, I'll sign my name!"
Now we're flying private planes and such
Looking like a million bucks
(You Can't Tell Me Nothing!)

We grind hard (oooh-ooh!)
To play harder! Harder!
