Tryin' To Get Paid

I'm on the grind, tryin' to make paper stack up
 An' if I slip an' fall, then I get back up
 A two piece, any hater that wanna act up
 An' if boxin' don't work, a glock got my back up pimpin'
 Talkin' down is a thing of the past
 Instead of trippin' off of me, you should be gettin' your cash
 I got a lotta paparazzi tryin' to see through my glass
 Well, peep game, I'm 'bout to teach class, listen to me
 I'm a hustler with only one thing on my mind
 An' that's gettin' all that's mine while I'm in my prime
 Whether it's legal or a crime, the police still blind
 'Cause I'm quiet an' hush-hush like a mime
 I'm gon' shine but not 'til the appropriate time
 So I nickel an' dime, every lick I find
 If I fall in a bind, my inventory still fine
 I never let a slump influence the way I grind, baby
 All day an' every night, I think about one thang
 Stackin' my change an' that ain't never gon' change
 I got plans for runnin' game until the money is drained
 Puttin' rocks in my ring an' ride a drop on swangs
 Steady hustlin' on the grind, out here doin' my thang
 I'm just tryin' to maintain how many licks I could stang
 But these boys who talkin' loud, they ain't got nothin' to say
 But I ain't worried, I'm just tryin to get paid
 I'm on the grind, I hustle everyday, all day
 I'm tryin' to shine with muscle an' show off parquet
 I lost time in the struggle, so I grind always
 'Cause on my mind, I'm makin' up for lost pay
 I'm usin' my past for inspiration, when I was broke
 I had dreams an' aspirations influenced by hope
 I get up, get out an' get it while I can
 'Cause I might get jammed
 Life don't always go the way that you plan
 Instead of duckin' the undercovers or snorin' under covers
 I'm climbin' out the underground, increasin' my numbers
 24/7, I grind, ain't no time for sleep
 'Cause if you snooze you lose
 An' if you sleep, you won't eat, pimpin'
 I go an' get it, bein' broke, I ain't with it
 A different hustle every minute, if I said it, I did it
 I can't let no critic influence my mash for paper
 I grind major, I'ma sign later, holla, playa
 All day an' every night, I think about one thang
 Stackin' my change an' that ain't never gon' change
 I got plans for runnin' game until the money is drained
 Puttin' rocks in my ring an' ride a drop on swangs
 Steady hustlin' on the grind, out here doin' my thang
 I'm just tryin' to maintain how many licks I could stang
 But these boys who talkin' loud, they ain't got nothin' to say
 But I ain't worried, I'm just tryin to get paid
 I'm on the grind, I worked for everythin' that I got
 I go an' get it while it's hot, I'm on the block nonstop
 'Cause I remember when I didn't have diddly squat
 An I'm not tryin' to make a U-turn from the top pimpin'
 It ain't no time for relationships
 'Cause 99 percent of dips will try to take your chips
 Ain't no slippin' in my pimpin' or slackin' on my mackin'
 These boys lazy, Cadillac'in' while I'm greenback stackin'
 'Cause while they in they bed catchin' they Zs
 I'm in the streets tryin' to catch me some Gs
 I gotta go an' get all that I'm worth 'cause bein' broke hurt
 An' I ain't got time for shootin' the breeze, check me out
 I hustle like a fiend 'cause I'm addicted to cash
 I can't let my window of opportunity pass
 It really ain't no tellin' how long my money gon' last
 So I mash an' get it fast, first class for real
 All day an' every night, I think about one thang
 Stackin' my change an' that ain't never gon' change
 I got plans for runnin' game until the money is drained
 Puttin' rocks in my ring an' ride a drop on swangs
 Steady hustlin' on the grind, out here doin' my thang
 I'm just tryin' to maintain how many licks I could stang
 But these boys who talkin' loud, they ain't got nothin' to say
 But I ain't worried, I'm just tryin to get paid
 All day an' every night, I think about one thang
 Stackin' my change an' that ain't never gon' change
 I got plans for runnin' game until the money is drained
 Puttin' rocks in my ring an' ride a drop on swangs
 Steady hustlin' on the grind, out here doin' my thang
 I'm just tryin' to maintain how many licks I could stang
 But these boys who talkin' loud, they ain't got nothin' to say
 But I ain't worried, I'm just tryin to get paid
