(f/ Meek Mill)

[Intro]

My life
My life
Isn't my life


[Verse 1]
What you know bout the grind in the street

He move and work out of town every week
I know about it
I know about it

What y'all know bout them girls on the pole
She make her money every night
Taking off her clothes

I know about it
Yep I know about it


[Pre-hook]
Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this (*##$ with aggression

Where I'm from ^!$$%s die everyday
Bet you ain't seen a ^!$$% die right in ya face


[Hook]
The life The life
The sacrifice

The grind The grind
You get sometimes
I know about it

Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life

I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it


[Verse 2]
These ^!$$%s turning hoes into wife's
Went in raw now you stuck with her for life

I know about it
Bet y'all know something about it
Three years he been doing the same thing

You can hang it up you'll never get a ring
Cause I know about it
Bet I know some thing about it


[Pre-hook]
Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing

That's why I come up in this (*##$ with aggression
Where I'm from it ain't flowers and candy
I'm just happy the life didn't get me


[Hook]
The life The life

The sacrifice
The grind The grind
You get sometimes

I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
You try and try to live right

But we get blinded by the life
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it


[Verse 3: Meek Mill]
I said the life the life

The streets are a (*##$ and I made her my wife
I made her my wife
I couldn't afford but I made her my price

Cause under the lights the money the cars
Even the ice I wanted it all
Some nights we were up selling the raw

And ducking them D from a hell of charges
I wanted to shine amongst with the stars
I wanted to grind they telling me nah

I felt like these ^!$$%s was telling me starve
My mama she told me I'm headed for bars
Bars, and where did it take me
To a cell and a yard
Running bar with the killers

Talking fellas and all

[Hook]
The life The life
The sacrifice

The grind The grind
You get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
You try and try to live right

But we get blinded by the life
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
