People Under The Stairs - The Grind lyrics

Dialogue: Look man, we've got to think about this together We've gotta take our time You and me gonna come up with something We're gonna figure out how to get this running. We have to press these records We need the money. Okay Let's think about this work as a TEAM and we'll come up with somethin alright! Let's work on it (Double K) I never flipped keys might have sold an eigth or a dime I grind and hustle it always involved the rhyme Travellin' dealin' with different zones of time Done work leave a hard play We pay dues and shine Hit the studio whoops I gotta feed my dog Truncate the funky loop and Thes said he got a call And retail's waitin So no time for chasin' the spotlight Gotta call it a early night Gotta make sure this product's right The label set a deadline now we on the go The agency got a show Wake up and catch wreck Keep the sound correct Lay down the vocals and the levels are next This is what it's like in the world of a B-Boy Maniac do the world tour car, plane, and Amtrak I ain't a businessman but I'm the business man Workin' like an entrepreneur with a wealth all planned Never had my hand out don't nobody owe me But promoters and record labels to get me and the homie What we came here for But in the mean time we'll have somebody at your door [Hey yo man yo, what's up man yo it's been three weeks you ain't returned our calls or nothin' so you know we just came to check this out man I mean Where's the money at you know. You see my hand out, I ain't leavin' 'til my hand's back in my pocket ya dig?] In the meantime I gotta earn one We gotta earn one man in the meantime I said we work hard in the meantime And in the meantime man I gotta earn one I gotta earn one in the meantime So in the meantime yeah we work hard Hey yo we work hard in the meantime And in the meantime man I gotta earn one (Thes One) You know we stay on the go and gotta see things progressin' And work hard like a man from the depression Pickin' up pennies in any job I think I gotta feel the satisfaction the action to earn dollar You gotta understand that's why we floss when we spend a lot Bustin' our backs in the studio like 2Pac And like 'Pac we got bossed by our label But it doesn't matter the hard work is spinnin' on your turntable So many hours man you wouldn't believe Hangin' up the hat and the coat And rollin' up the sleeves Gettin' high thinkin' the clock is breathin' down my neck There's not enough hours but so many things to do yet Gotta catch a jet at 11 Pacific time but it's crossin' the date line And we'll be in city by 9 The idle time on the plane's got me itchin' Hard work is the calamari Put the cook in the kitchen man Let him stir it up Bringin' the new flavor And fax the contracts with some business behavior Believe in the beats the track record's been shown 14 years on the MPC gave me carpal tunnel syndrome man I'm still makin' plans with my achin' hands Stayin' up all night makin' it funky for the fans If it doesn't earn I know we'll get another turn Cause we put in work like a crip burnin' the sherm It's the P It's the P It's the P for you It's the P Check it out In the meantime we gonna earn some We gonna earn some up in the meantime We be the P my brother and yes we earn ours We gonna earn it up in the meantime And when we earn ours we're gonna by some nice cars, and some yachts, and some houses, and some dogs, and some dolphins and some homies
