on my grind

Uh...Can't even really be rap.
You can't even really act like you gotta' get it in wit'out a... uh.(Wait a minute!)
Cocksuckers (oh ye'), pause.(Mic check 1, 2, 1, 2 [x4])
It's ya man,
Joey!Reportin' live from the slums (wait a minute!)
Reportin' live from the belly of the beast (wait a minute!)
Reportin' live from a hood near you (it's... it's...)
Or maybe not so near you.[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
L-Look, look...
First off,
I'm not competin',
I'm more like stampeding
I'm more like steamrollin' (or...)
More like puttin' my foot on the neck of the game until
I see it chokin'
I hol' on for dear life, (I mean uh...) the flow is air tight an' the bars are bar none
Regarded as the one, **** music, it's a art ta' son, let's rewind.
See, I was born in the projects, left for a new hood
Jetted ta' a new state, lookin' for a new pace.
Diamond in the rough,
I stood out amongst the food cache
Swear a friend a mine headlined every news page (jhea').
Wit' dreams of bein' wealthy
You now checkin' out the new
Jersey version of
Peter Petrelli.
But wait!
Wit' a lil'
Travis Barker on the side'
Cause when it all falls down
I normally survive.
I'm try'nna see a new tax bracket
So I'll never have ta' grab matics
I ain't concerned wit' no rap racket.
So y'all could take my name through the mud an' drag it
Spread it ta' the masses, (I'mma)
I still play it passive.
I got no choice but' walk around wit' the lead on me
Life is way too short, too many dead homies.(Or...) plus, wit' all the money
I investEveryday a ***** die for less!(So...) so, if a ***** wann' go ta' war, wave hi ta'
DeathI mean
He lives right next ta' me, so
He ain't a threat ta' me[Hook]
He's a beast, he's a monster, he is insane!
He's an animal, he cannot be tamed!
What rapper you know'll straight feast on a lame
An' rock on a track, beast on the game!(Damn right I'm on my grind,Look like some **** is on my mind. [x2])
Yeeeeeah![Verse 2: Joe Budden]
L-Look, look...
I'm still livin' life in the fast lane (oh!)
Still plottin' on my big money scheme like he
Wesley an'
Woody thinkin' how ta' rob a cash train.
Shittin' on ho's that'll act fain'
Till the whole
World know his last (wait a minute!)
Still spit like it ain't no ta'morra'
It ain't over y'all, underrated so
I overcharge.
Ol' Dodge, radio off, **** a station
Get ta' know me through the music not a publication (naw).
It's no justification, (but a...) mean enough wit' the waitin'(I mean I...)
I lost all my just an' my patience.
That came wit'out the crown or the chair or the robe
*****, I don't care what'chu sow (wait a minute!)
They let the beast outta' the cage, look at the hunger
Got'chur self inta' some ****, look at the plunger.
I'm talkin' 'cause
I'm livin' it, entrepreneur
Steve Rifkind ****
Though a few haters wann'
Kinder it.
I'm comin' wit' some different ****
An' these offices all about my paper, that's that ?? ****.
Rapper on 'roids, sick wit' the thoughts (but...)
But managed ta' keep my name out the mention report.
See I'mma inspiration for a whole generation
Even when
I'm gone, but my message is indication.
Then you too can attain the unattainable(But...) **** try'nna explain the unexplainable![Hook]
He's a beast, he's a monster, he is insane!
He's an animal, he cannot be tamed!
What rapper you know'll straight feast on a lame
An' rock on a track, beast on the game!(Damn right I'm on my grind,Look like some **** is on my mind. [x2])
Yeeeeeah!
