Slave to the Grind

You got me forced to crack my lids in two
 I'm still stuck inside this rubber room
 I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
 I'm just another gear in the assembly line, oh no
 The noose gets tighter around my throat
 But I ain't at the end of my rope
 'Cause I won't be the one left behind
 You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind
 Tear down the rat racial slime
 You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind
 Get it?
 A routine injection, a lethal dose
 But my day in the sun ain't even that close
 There's no need to waste your prayers on me
 You better mark my words 'cause I'm history
 Yes indeed
 You might beg for mercy to get by
 But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side
 'Cause I won't be the one left behind
 You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind
 Tear down the rat racial slime
 You can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind
 They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick
 They tore my intention apart, brick by brick
 I'm sick of the jive, talk verbal insecticide
