You Gon Get There

Cause you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there
Cause you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there

It all started with a me and a Mike
Just a two little kids with a dream and a bike
And a whole bunch of people sayin' we ain't going to make it
Well you best tie your career 'cause if I see it I'm gon' to take it
I'm gon' to make it mine, me and Mike's it's what we worked for our whole life
We lived off of bread and rice but we stayed up through sleepless nights
But lookin' back dog I wouldn't change a thing
Because it wouldn't be the same without the sufferin' and pain

You try to reach out for a hand dog, but they don't give you nothin'
I ain't lyin' boy, I put that on my grandma sister cousin
Mother father little brother had to look out for each other
Yesterday nobody listened now we out here doin' numbers
I said work, put work, put work, put work
Work until your body's sore and then you work a little more
I tell'em grind, hey grind, hey grind, hey grind
And when you're twenty steps ahead grind like you're twenty steps behind

Because you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
Between a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there
Cause you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
Between a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there

While you was chasin' girls, boy we was makin' plans
We was writin' raps when you was colorin' with crayons
Girls ain't never looked our way 'cause we ain't never had nothin'
Never catch us stuntin', we was just some little ragamuffins
Just some broke little kids with our broke clothes on
Me and Mike, everyday writin' song after song
Boy we never skipped a beat now to beat goes on
Never had a bite to eat now the feast goes on

You try to reach out for a hand dog, but they don't give you nothin'
I ain't lyin' boy, I put that on my grandma sister cousin
Mother father little brother had to look out for each other
Yesterday nobody listened now we out here doin' numbers
I said work, put work, put work, put work
Work until your body's sore and then you work a little more
I tell'em grind, hey grind, hey grind, hey grind
And when you're twenty steps ahead grind like you're twenty steps behind

Because you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
Between a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there
Cause you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
Between a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there

Yeah our empty little tummies made us tougher, made us fighters
Made us mad, made us champs, yeah it made us both survivors
And then they wonder why we bring that heat on every track
'Cause we ain't never had nothin' 'cept each other's backs
Them days were hard but I love'em and I miss'em
Cause are empty little stomachs that's what gave us our ambition
When me and Mike was hungry we would kneel down for a prayer
Then we opened up them cupboards there still wasn't nothing there

You try and reach out for a hand dog, but they don't give you nothin'
I ain't lyin' boy, I put that on my grandma sister cousin
Mother father little brother had to look out for each other
Yesterday nobody listened now we out here doin' numbers
I said work, put work, put work, put work
Work until your body's sore and then you work a little more
I tell'em grind, hey grind, hey grind, hey grind
And when you're twenty steps ahead grind like you're twenty steps behind

Because you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there
Cause you're sittin' at the bottom and you're starin' at the top
'Tween a hard place and a rock you want them rainy days to stop
I know it's hard, hey I promise dog I've been there
You keep on grindin' hard, dog I promise you gon' to get there
