10 Years Grindin

[Intro] Yo, listen Mmm [Verse 1] Remember me? I was on police cars on Channel U 2003 So when I tell you it's 10 years In fact its more like 13 And when I was 13 and Wu-Tang Forever came out Wrote out the lyrics in my english book Both discs including the skits Not a coincidence I spit like this Craft I have mastered Armed with the arsenic pen for the men that wanna beg friend Or pretend it is them that stand what I stand for Step in the ring get banged by the champ Aw sit down stan get handled True you're bars are dusty like a old mans back foot trekking the desert with no sandals Who is checking on those vandals Bit-break mic's with the bars of a martian Left my kids to be fatherless bastards See I'm so far past them Run a lap 10 times, they're talking about starting Dickheads ask "wheres the proof?" 4 of the top 10 Fire In The Booth's 6 albums all packed with truth 12 UK tours now who's who? Shit... Done all this while ignored by the mainstream Everyday life feels like a daydream See you know that you're cold When mans grandma see you and they cross the road Say that they love what you're doing for the struggle and they're feeling the stories you told Pouring your soul Boring a hole Right through the pain straight into the cold See the more it unfolds More that you're sure that he knows More that you feel that a portion of gold Is not worth distorting your goals If you're already sure of the truth that you hold See I'll leave with that gem Been droppin' them since back then It's 2016 and It's Not a Rumour just turned 10 My friend [Chorus] 10 years grinding What have I done with all of that timing Mastered the art of this rhyming Spit hard and I passed the assignment 10 years grinding What have I done with all of that timing Mastered the art of this rhyming Spit hard yeah I passed the assignment [Bridge] What you know about graft? What you know about art? What you know about heart? What you know about touring the world from the start but your songs never close to the chart [Verse 2] A decade's a long time If you find yourself following the wrong line But you can change course with a strong mind We around the world with the words but they're not mine I don't create them I just arraign them Spit them on tracks and the crowd go crazy For the flows and the fables Tekks and the turntables we're able to play ball My stable? Farther of the house [?] from your mouth bring it out See the sagas I spew, targeting few It's drama for dudes, you are scarred if you knew See the half of your crew, departing from you The other half with the all of your crew A regard for the truth That is the hardest thing we can pass to the youth 'Cause this truthing shit takes work And there's no guarantee it'll work And some other little talent-less jerk Might come in the team and take your shirt, that's how it goes All you can do is flow and hope that their ears work well Hope they can tell You're more like ghosts in a shell when you got man shook like a obeah spell Hell? Well that's light work Whats an ABC to a tight verse? I'mma slay these beats and I might burst Couple more egos with the right verse You little 3 amigos need a night nurse Come and see me on stage for the right purse Yeah a prize fighter, 10 year grinder Its the right rhymer, push up your lighter Who can reciter Stanza mans can't decipher I plan like Japan and ban man from cyphers, done Man get bun Here's to 10 more years to get spun, son [Chorus] 10 years grinding What have I done with all of that timing Mastered the art of this rhyming Spit hard and I passed the assignment 10 years grinding What have I done with all of that timing Mastered the art of this rhyming Spit hard yeah I passed the assignment [Bridge] [Verse 3] What you know about grinding? What you know about timing? Can you read all the signage Have you mastered the science of rhyming The science that I am defining, you're trying The miles this vehicle has run And its heavyweight more than a tonne And of course I do talk 'bout my tongue These lungs that become these thunderous drums When I'm done my sons could never get breakfast As a parent I am that reckless And I don't give a fuck 'bout your necklace or any of the other type reckless investments I'm tested, and proven Many times over, its older, its colder With shoulders the size of mountainous boulders All of your [?] don't count it as [?] Wise from young so I'm 'llowing the olders Unless otherwise proven, I'm schooling the foolish And I'm built for the game lets do this [Chrous x2] [Bridge x2]
