[Intro]
Maya Angelou said, "Nothing will work unless you do." Bossing up all day, every day. It's a way of life. Not for show, but fo' sho. Who wanna grind with me? Let's go get it. The world is ours
[Hook x2]
These days, man, I'm so focused
Ain't got no time if it ain't ‘bout business or money-related
You can love it or hate it
But I'm dedicated to my grind
‘Cause when you workin' for yourself, it's a hustle full-time, my n***a
[Verse 1]
Wish I could sit back and smoke with you, but I'm a go-getter
Time is money—every second we waste, we stand broke, n***a
Life is not a joke, it's a journey
If it ain't up helping me get where I'm going, it don't concern me
So many lessons I learned that burned me
Turned me into my own boss, my own manager, and my own attorney
I'm up early strategizing with the sunrise
Got to stay on top of my G, to make this profit rise
Not to sound all capitalistic
But when you got a family, man, you got to be realistic
I can't be hanging out every night
I like partying, but I'm a G and partying just ain't my priority
I'd rather have land and property
With enough dough and artillery shells to protect my rights and sovereignty
These crackers running a monopoly
But I got a plan to ‘get em up off me
[Hook x2]
These days, man, I'm so focused
Ain't got no time if it ain't ‘bout business or money-related
You can love it or hate it
But I'm dedicated to my grind
‘Cause when you workin' for yourself, it's a hustle full-time, my n***a
[Verse 2]
(Self determination)
I admit it—I'm a certified workaholic
But I got to get it—you can call it what you wanna call it
I stay inspired, both eyes on the prize
We ain't getting no younger, but hopefully we gettin' wise
Visualize what you want, what you think you attract
Turn a dream into a plan and turn a thought into a stack
Always been goal-driven from a very young age
Rather work for myself than for minimum wage
It's do it now! Play later
f** a hater, get yo paper
If you know me, then you know I go hard on my job
And I ain't grindin' for nothin' just to be up in their bourgeoisie lounges
Blowin' ounces, fightin' the bouncers
I got bigger goals to reach, mouths to feed
n***a, seeds to raise—don't nothing come the easy way
These days, I'm going hard, got eggs in many baskets
Pimpin' the system backwards
[Hook x2]
These days, man, I'm so focused
Ain't got no time if it ain't ‘bout business or money-related
You can love it or hate it
But I'm dedicated to my grind
‘Cause when you workin' for yourself, it's a hustle full-time, my n***a
