Been Grinding

(album: Pardon My Lateness - 2014)

Yeah, yeah
Hold up, hold up
Feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it
I've been grinding, grinding
I've been grinding, grinding

Boy, I've been grinding way too long
I've been grinding, I've been grinding
Tryna put my partners on
Have 'em shining, have 'em shining
I hold it down for where I'm from
(West up, west up)
They wilding, they wilding
Boy, this for all my dawgs that's gone (R.I.P., rest in peace)
I know you're smiling, I know you're smiling

I'm from the the city where DJ Screw forever missed
I'ma buy the whole neighborhood, bikes like my name Lil Flip
Igbo kwenu, hey, just hopped off the mothership
Mama told me leave them beats alone, but I told her I can't quit

'Cause I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
Told her I do this for my dawgs (Love y'all, all of y'all)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (You, you, you, you)

I do it for my dawgs like Scooby and Shaggy
For all my partners locked up tryna contact me
We all some young kings, we just really need a palace
I swear my partners good, they just got some bad habits
Boy, I swear they chase cabbage like a rabbit
Get treated like a savage
And keep something shocking for the static

Boy, I've been grinding way too long
I've been grinding, I've been grinding
Tryna put my partners on
Have 'em shining, have 'em shining
I hold it down for where I'm from
(West up, west up)
They wilding, they wilding
Boy, this for all my dawgs that's gone (R.I.P., rest in peace)
I know you're smiling, I know you're smiling

I'm from the the city where DJ Screw forever missed
I'ma buy the whole neighborhood, bikes like my name Lil Flip
Igbo kwenu, just hopped off the mothership
Mama told me leave them beats alone, but I told her I can't quit

'Cause I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
Told her I do this for my dawgs (Love y'all, all of y'all)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (You, you, you, you)

My dawg, they started from the bottom, Drake type
Yo' dawgs they hating on they partners, fake type
I try to calm 'em down, but they got an appetite
Head up in the clouds, something like a satellite
They want the limelight so they grind nights 'till they shine bright
Hold up, and they play the post like Dwight

Boy, I been grinding way too long
I've been grinding, I've been grinding
Tryna put my partners on
Have 'em shining, have 'em shining
I hold it down for where I'm from
(West up, west up)
They wilding, they wilding
Boy, this for all my dawgs that's gone (R.I.P., rest in peace)
I know you're smiling, I know you're smiling

Boy I've been grinding, I've been grinding
Tryna put my partners... have 'em shining
I hold it down for where I'm from
