Every day is a struggle how to hustle some doe
If you was raised in the hood well then you already know
It be days it be good but mostly money be slow
Have you ever been hungry before gotta get these dollars man

Steady on the grind, steady on the grind
'Cause I got to make it happen for one last to make ya know me
Steady on the grind, steady on the grind
'Cause I got to make it happen, ain't nobody gone do it for me
Gotta get these dollars man

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Steady on the grind, deadly on the grind
Money on mind, steady on the grind
Steady on the grind, deadly on the grind
Money on my mind, it's already on my mind
It's already on my mind

Every day is a struggle how to hustle some doe
If you was raised in the hood well then you already know
It be days it be good but only money be slow
Have you ever been hungry before

Well, I'm a freedom fighter, this killa keep him off his garbie
People army guerrilla, economic development down for manual labor
Revolutionary hustler fund raiser, catch me doing outreach
See me running the streets politically educated but never graduated

Call me doc like my dude shakure fight for the core
Have you ever been hungry before fa shure
Mommie gotta job makin' about six of 'em a hour
She became to brag with it when daddy was unemployed

Working forty plus hous and kissing ass
Seeming like the only way she could get some cash
She struggling they don't know why we hustlin'
Pullin' my own weight

I be hearing them fussin' fightin' at night mad late
Over economics it's logic meaning they don't got it
Living in the projects money's the only object
She makes weighly a week standing on her feet

The engine needs a meetin', the family ain't eatin'
And the taxes is ten percent the rest is for the rent
The crime is what you get and niggas is innocent
See it really ain't about if your eatin' is freedom or not freedom
Reepin' or not reepin'
