[00:00.18]And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired
[00:03.03]They say You ain't grindin' 'til you tired
[00:08.40]So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
[00:09.57]Looking to find
[00:10.41]A way Through the day
[00:11.88]A life For the night
[00:12.84]Dear Lord you've done took so many of my people
[00:14.28]But I'm just wonderin' why
[00:16.05]You haven't taken
[00:17.94]My life
[00:18.48]X3
[00:18.60]Like what the hell am I
[00:19.74]Doing right
[00:20.28]X3
[00:20.37]My Life x3
[00:21.03]Take me away from the hood like a state penitentiary
[00:24.00]Take me away from the hood in the casket or a Bentley
[00:27.03]Take me away
[00:27.51]Like I overdosed on *******
[00:28.29]Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobain
[00:31.77]Suicide
[00:32.31]Suicide suicide
[00:32.79]I'm from a Windy City like Do or Die
[00:34.47]From a block close to where Biggie was crucified
[00:37.53]That was Brooklyn's Jesus
[00:38.55]And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces
[00:39.99]My Life x3
[00:40.62]'Cause that's Jesus people
[00:41.67]And The Game he's the equal
[00:42.48]Hated on so much The Passion of Christ need a sequel
[00:45.36]Yeah like Roc-a-fella needed Sigel
[00:47.04]Like I needed my father
[00:48.21]But he needed a needle
[00:49.02]My Life x3
[00:49.98]I need some meditation
[00:51.36]So I can leave my people
[00:52.92]They askin' Why Why did John Lennon leave The Beatles
[00:55.50]And why every hood *****feed off evil
[00:57.06]Answer my question before this bullet leave this Desert Eagle
[01:00.42]And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired
[01:01.29]They say You ain't grindin' 'til you tired
[01:02.88]So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
[01:05.58]Looking to find
[01:06.18]A way Through the day
[01:07.05]A life For the night
[01:07.74]Dear Lord you've done took so many of my people

[01:22.59]I earned them
[01:23.07]And all the pictures of me and Em I burned them
[01:24.72]So there ain't no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile
[01:27.09]And since there ain't no Proof I never walked through 8 Mile
[01:29.94]Sometimes I think about my life with my face down
[01:33.39]Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile
[01:36.03]My Life x3
[01:36.45]D**n I know his momma's proud
[01:37.68]And since you helped me sell my dream we can share my momma now

[01:44.76]I spit crack and ******could drive it outta town
[01:46.68]Gotta Chris Paul mind state I'm never outta bounds
[01:48.87]My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
[01:51.15]Now my life full like a chopper with a thousand rounds
[01:53.28]Gunshots
[01:53.55]And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired

[02:17.25]Listening to the Chronic album playing backwards
[02:18.60]Shootin' at pictures of Don Imus for target practice
[02:21.03]Made my grandmother pray for good
[02:21.93]And never made her happy when I bet that new Mercedes could
[02:24.06]My Life x3
