Hustle...and grinding...for your family. That's love.
lyrics
(Vrs1-Mane Rok)
A common misconception like Drake's mistake
A rookie card to be pulled, ashamed to say
I've been dealt that hand before of course ignored what I was told//
A king of hearts with life on hold, thinking hard on if I should fold//
Under pressure & scrutiny, question my commitment//
If I didn't love it would I have done it the way I did it?
Been through ups & downs, good & bad, for better or worse//
A vow that won't be broken even when I rest in the earth//
(Vrs2-Zome)
Dust to dirt is what it is, dawg I'm 'bout my biz//
With out a hint of greed 'cause Diamond Boiz is for the kids/
& I'm still ridding of you haters hating lately as the greatest//
Must accept it, don't reject it make the best of complications//
So I'm flipping all my cards every time I get a chance//
It's Diamond flush & just a rush it's not enough to give a damn//
Turn 10 into 12, 12 into a 48//
The switches on the board is what I use to push weight
(Chorus)
On my hustle
On my grind
I work hard everyday the purpose is me and mine
So don't say it's for the love if you aint giving up a dime
'Cause fo sho! *It's yours!*
(Vrs 3 - Zome)
I'm on some pennies for my thoughts 'cause they're not paying for a rhyme//
I don't interpret through the serpent love is purpose of my shine//
It is a crime 'cause I'm an ass, hustle grinding for my cash//
These bastards asking me to smash but they can't offer nothing back//
Not an act it's just the music, on the tracks it's how you do it//
Can't stay sober at the show, the spot light they just abuse it//
It's a trip, I guess they really don't get it//
Act a fool like they don't know and still don't give the homie credit//
(Vrs4-Mane Rok)
Everything comes at a cost though, charge it to the game//
Martyrs slained paid a price so you don't march into the flames//
What would you do for love? For me, words hardly can explain//
That part of my heart in pain scarred time and again//
'Cause I know my works value plus my son's gotta eat//
So how aint it for love 'cause it aint done on the cheap
Can afford to demand a return on my investment//
Handling biz for my families best interest
(Chorus)
(Cuts)
Hustle to survive
I'm on my grind
Put in work
