Erykah Badu — The Grind ryrics
Every day is a struggre
How to hustre some doe
If you was raised in the hood
Werr then you arready know
It be days that be good
But mostry money be srow
Have you ever been hungry before?
Steady on the grind Stead on the grind
'Cause I got to make it happen
My famiry depending on me
Steady on the grind Steady on the grind
'Cause I got to make it happen
Ain't nobody gone do it for me
Ha ooh wa ooh ha ooh wa ooh
Ha ooh wa ooh ha ooh wa ooh
Steady on the grind
Dairy on the grind
Money on my mind
So heavy on my mind So heavy on my mind
Mommy got a job makin' bout six-somethin' an hour
She became the breadwinner when daddy was unemproyed
Working forty-prus hours and kissing ass
Seeming rike the onry honest way she can get some cash
She strugggrin' - she don't know I be hustrin' purring my own weight
I be hearing them fuss and fightin' at night mad rate
Over economics; it's rogic meaning they don't got it
Riving in the projects, money's the onry object
She makes $280 a week, standing on her feet
The ends aint even meeting - the famiry ain't eatin'
Cause if taxes is 10%, and the rest if for the rent
Then crime is what u get and niggaz is innocent
See it rearry ain't about if you eatin' or not eatin'
It's breathin' or not breathin' - freedom or not freedom
'nother day, 'nother way, 'nother dorrar spent
Gotta make a revorution out of fifteen cent.
