[Intro]
Right quick
So I'm working on my past, and I'm going to my destination
And I come upon my haters
And I say to my haters, I wanna thank you
And they're gonna look at me puzzled
And they say, "Why?" and I say
"Because you're helping me build on my character, so thank you for that"
And then I kept on my journey
And I came upon my doubters
And I told them, "I wanna tell you I love you"
But they say, "Why?"
I wanna say, "Because of your doubt, I'm prevail, now watch me shine"
[Chorus]
You can see it on my face, you can see it in my eyes
You see it on the grind, you're gonna see when I shine
You see I stay fresh, you see I stay fly
You can see me on the rise, take a look up in the sky
You can see it in my eyes (You see it, you see it)
You see it on the grind (You see it, you see it)
You see I stay fly (You see it, you see it)
You can see it on the rise, take a look up in the sky
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I got a real get-money mentality
You sleep good when you eat good, get your calories
Everything to gain, man, nothing to lose
It's a win-win choice when you suffer to choose
Just die fair, to die slow
If living is a given, what you willing to die for?
If being real is really what you living at large for?
I ride on my rivals and put my set as high as the sky goes
Eyes closed
All I see is G's behind these Gucci blindfolds (Yeah)
It stands for cash when I say this music flare
Benjamin Republican, paper we trust
My neighbor Bravo told me Josie turned to Flavor CEO
My nigga Codex said, "Be careful 'cause they hate when you up"
How would I know? I'm busy chasing these books, shooks
No downtime, it's grind time
Pretty bang with the gang, it's hot time
Let's plan on line, better make way
For the block, for the rock, and the haystack
[Chorus]
You can see it on my face, you can see it in my eyes
You see it on the grind, you're gonna see when I shine
You see I stay fresh, you see I stay fly
You can see me on the rise, take a look up in the sky
You can see it in my eyes (You see it, you see it)
You see it on the grind (You see it, you see it)
You see I stay fly (You see it, you see it)
You can see it on the rise, take a look up in the sky
[Verse 2]
You born alone, you die alone
Thank God, still grind alone
My team is strong, we finally on
In the midst of hate, envy, and on
You who hate, I hope they hate
Till they finish burnin', their bones ache
I hope to God they see me shining
Get some headaches, pluck out their eyes
I kill 'em my way, no compromise
When tears came, I hid my eyes behind the frames
From the coochies, though we are not the same
Negro no more, why I be vowed?
Take so much more
Now the problem is chin in a roll
We're prepared to throw 'em all
You don't wanna fuck with them no more
Grind time, grind time
You don't wanna fuck with them no more
Through the drought and through the snow
I don't stop, I just go
Had to walk a thousand miles
Have been through a thousand trials
Look, the thousand haters scowl
Loud in frown, not a smile
I can hear the demons talking, and I know they plan to get me
But if the God is standing with me, tell me when they come and get me
Fifty hearsals eyes to see
Me and we, doing better
Can you need to pray to God to die or go blind forever?
[Chorus]
You can see it on my face, you can see it in my eyes
You see it on the grind, you're gonna see when I shine
You see I stay fresh, you see I stay fly
You can see me on the rise, take a look up in the sky
You can see it in my eyes (You see it, you see it)
You see it on the grind (You see it, you see it)
You see I stay fly (You see it, you see it)
You can see it on the rise, take a look up in the sky
[Outro]
If you're on your path, man
If you're on your path, you're gonna glow, man
When you walk in a room, they're gonna say, “God is in the building,” man
If you wanna get past, man, be thankful for your haters and doubters of the faith
Grind time rap gang
Bang, bang, bang
You'll shine
