[00:00.00]The Grind Date -De La Soul
[00:02.761]If the meek shall inherit the earth
[00:04.571]And not the weak
[00:05.511]Let me inherit the street **** it
[00:08.11]You know what I mean
[00:09.201]I mean I love life man you know what I mean
[00:11.951]Life is beautiful it ＇s just the sh*t in it that ＇s ****ed up
[00:15.641]It ＇s rough but it ＇s fair
[00:18.201]People gotta go out there and bust they bust they a**for a job
[00:22.701]I mean my dad ＇s got five kids man and I mean yo
[00:27.441]He hates drivin ＇a bus but he loves five kids
[00:30.01]You feel me
[00:30.871]I ＇m a rhyme artist
[00:32.251]Out here tryin ＇to grind my hardest
[00:34.61]Up early so to milk the cow
[00:34.311]Keep my john deere out here plowin ＇the fields
[00:38.561]To keep my john han**** ＇s worth up in the now
[00:40.581]Went from hangin ＇on blocks to hangin ＇on charts
[00:42.831]Positions is parta my mission to hangin ＇on top
[00:45.81]Gotta get your polly cracker or with them crackers
[00:46.641]And them scheisty a*******z if you like it or not
[00:50.201]I ＇ve been rewired to work more efficiently in the dirt
[00:52.701]I ＇m hands on with it all up in my cuticles
[00:54.831]Some try to get off the farm but fell into harm
[00:57.391]Of gettin in the game of those street pharmaceuticals
[00:59.831]But I was raised in those blue collar themes
[01:02.711]Havin ＇white collar dreams cause I see what it means
[01:05.511]And though the meek shall inherit the earth but don ＇t forget
[01:08.331]The poor are the ones who inherit the debt
[01:13.161]You can bet I got better things to do than that
[01:15.411]I was a **** who got jerked by Tom and his boys
[01:19.801]Came on my land seized my cattle and catalog
[01:21.801]As if it wouldn ＇t leave me less than coy
[01:24.551]But I ＇m far from bitter even farther from quittin ＇
[01:29.320]Got a grind date to make no time for sittin ＇
[01:31.510]And playin ＇xbox stand up and exercise my rights
[01:33.260]As of by seen of through masta ＇s eye
[01:35.890]It ＇s the grind date
[01:37.200]Know what I ＇m sayin I ＇m sick of askin ＇that
[01:41.140]I mean the street philosophy is that
[01:42.760]I ＇m gonna milk the cow and cook the meat
[01:45.260]At least I ＇m gonna have some kind of food and drink
[01:47.640]Because sometimes you can ＇t come back
[01:49.320]Like momma said that if you need 5cents don ＇t ask for 3
[01:52.640]Ask for 10that ＇s for sure
[01:56.140]Yo **** a rhyme artist I ain ＇t here for that
[01:59.260]I was born with the boom bap respect the name
[02:01.910]My hands on experience was hands on my first contract
[02:03.910]Taught me quick how to respect the game
[02:06.660]Introduced to the block got used to the block
[02:08.660]But your neighbors be the ones who throw sh*t on your lawn
[02:11.100]It ＇s like every single time we pop they got annoyed
[02:13.660]But we got ahead and we got along
[02:15.660]And puttin ＇work on the calendars worse on them calendars
[02:18.220]Worth of **** days that broke the camel ＇s back
[02:24.80]The grind ＇ll make today look gray
[02:25.450]And paint a tainted picture of tomorrows in enamel black
[02:27.260]Meet the rhyme street grind son whatever the beast
[02:28.510]I ＇m a take it at the horns till the pinky toe torn
[02:37.870]And show you why we here this long
[02:38.120]Cause when it comes to puttin ＇in work
[02:40.680]Once again it ＇s on
[02:41.870]I ＇m just like everybody else man
[02:43.370]An average ni**a with above average potential
[02:44.620]You know what I mean I ＇m not sayin ＇that I ＇m a gentleman
[02:48.500]I ＇m sayin that I know how to act like a gentleman
[02:50.740]In order to get the things that I need
[02:52.430]And if I gotta pull out my nickle bag I ＇m gonna do that
[02:55.180]This ain ＇t no accident we stayin ＇here
[03:01.310]You damn right I am proud of myself man
[03:04.450]And I ＇m proud of my team man
[03:06.200]I don ＇t want you to get the wrong yo baby on the real
[03:09.450]I don ＇t have sex with people I do business with neither
[03:11.700]And that ＇s the real
[03:13.260]But I do do business with people that I have sex with
[03:15.830]So if there ain ＇t no conflict let ＇s get this grind on
[03:18.510]Cause I ＇m gonna **** the sh*t outta you that ＇s word
