The Grind Date - De La Soul[00:00:00]

If the meek shall inherit the earth[00:00:02]

And not the weak[00:00:04]

Let me inherit the street f**k it[00:00:05]

You know what I mean [00:00:08]

I mean I love life man you know what I mean[00:00:09]

Life is beautiful it＇s just the shit in it that＇s f**ked up[00:00:11]

It＇s rough but it＇s fair[00:00:15]

People gotta go out there and bust they bust they ass for a job[00:00:18]

I mean my dad＇s got five kids man and I mean yo[00:00:22]

He hates drivin＇ a bus but he loves five kids[00:00:27]

You feel me [00:00:30]

I＇m a rhyme artist[00:00:30]

Out here tryin＇ to grind my hardest[00:00:32]

Up early so to milk the cow[00:00:34]

Keep my john deere out here plowin＇ the fields[00:00:34]

To keep my john hancock＇s worth up in the now[00:00:38]

Went from hangin＇ on blocks to hangin＇ on charts[00:00:40]

Positions is parta my mission to hangin＇ on top[00:00:42]

Gotta get your polly cracker or with them crackers[00:00:45]

And them scheisty ass niggaz if you like it or not[00:00:46]

I＇ve been rewired to work more efficiently in the dirt[00:00:50]

I＇m hands on with it all up in my cuticles[00:00:52]

Some try to get off the farm but fell into harm[00:00:54]

Of gettin in the game of those street pharmaceuticals[00:00:57]

But I was raised in those blue collar themes[00:00:59]

Havin＇ white collar dreams cause I see what it means[00:01:02]

And though the meek shall inherit the earth but don＇t forget[00:01:05]

The poor are the ones who inherit the debt[00:01:08]

You can bet I got better things to do than that[00:01:13]

I was a dick who got jerked by Tom and his boys[00:01:15]

Came on my land seized my cattle and catalog[00:01:19]

As if it wouldn＇t leave me less than coy[00:01:21]

But I＇m far from bitter even farther from quittin＇[00:01:24]

Got a grind date to make no time for sittin＇[00:01:29]

And playin＇ xbox stand up and exercise my rights[00:01:31]

As of by seen of through masta＇s eye[00:01:33]

It＇s the grind date[00:01:35]

Know what I＇m sayin I＇m sick of askin＇ that[00:01:37]

I mean the street philosophy is that[00:01:41]

I＇m gonna milk the cow and cook the meat[00:01:42]

At least I＇m gonna have some kind of food and drink[00:01:45]

Because sometimes you can＇t come back[00:01:47]

Like momma said that if you need 5 cents don＇t ask for 3[00:01:49]

Ask for 10 that＇s for sure[00:01:52]

Yo f**k a rhyme artist I ain＇t here for that[00:01:56]

I was born with the boom bap respect the name[00:01:59]

My hands on experience was hands on my first contract[00:02:01]

Taught me quick how to respect the game[00:02:03]

Introduced to the block got used to the block[00:02:06]

But your neighbors be the ones who throw shit on your lawn[00:02:08]

It＇s like every single time we pop they got annoyed[00:02:11]

But we got ahead and we got along[00:02:13]

And puttin＇ work on the calendars worse on them calendars[00:02:15]

Worth of hump days that broke the camel＇s back[00:02:18]

The grind＇ll make today look gray[00:02:24]

And paint a tainted picture of tomorrows in enamel black[00:02:25]

Meet the rhyme street grind son whatever the beast[00:02:27]

I＇m a take it at the horns till the pinky toe torn[00:02:28]

And show you why we here this long[00:02:37]

Cause when it comes to puttin＇ in work[00:02:38]

Once again it＇s on[00:02:40]

I＇m just like everybody else man[00:02:41]

An average nigga with above average potential[00:02:43]

You know what I mean I＇m not sayin＇ that I＇m a gentleman[00:02:44]

I＇m sayin that I know how to act like a gentleman[00:02:48]

In order to get the things that I need[00:02:50]

And if I gotta pull out my nickle bag I＇m gonna do that[00:02:52]

This ain＇t no accident we stayin＇ here[00:02:55]

You damn right I am proud of myself man[00:03:01]

And I＇m proud of my team man[00:03:04]

I don＇t want you to get the wrong yo baby on the real [00:03:06]

I don＇t have sex with people I do business with neither[00:03:09]

And that＇s the real[00:03:11]

But I do do business with people that I have sex with[00:03:13]

So if there ain＇t no conflict let＇s get this grind on[00:03:15]

Cause I＇m gonna f**k the shit outta you that＇s word[00:03:18]
