[Intro] I got on my grind, now I barely sleep
See I been on my grind, now I barely sleep
See I been on my grind, and now I barely sleep
Torey Montana

[Chorus] Said I been on my grind and now I barely sleep
Focused on the top and not what's down beneath
Gangsters move in silence, don't acknowledge me
Ever since I got now, these bitches jockin' me
Stand ten toes down when I'm in these streets
I be down to let a nigga try to handle me
I got folks I'm tryna meet and I got things to see
If I ever call you family, ain't no in between

[Verse 1] Jump up off the porch, I had to get me me
It was times I had to starve, just so I can eat
Don't like a nigga car, kick doors for flat screens
Goin' hard, havin' shoots on that back street
Mama said if you lay down then you gotta make that bed
Washed her hands, she got tired of the tears I had made her shed
Sleep is the closest thing to death, I ain't scared
I watched my uncle take some time and he held his head
Then turn around and call about some shit that he regret
How niggas kept it pedaling
With no food, I never moved off of Simon says
I came from nothing, paid homage just to get ahead

[Chorus] I been on my grind and now I barely sleep
Focused on the top and not what's down beneath
Gangsters move in silence, don't acknowledge me
Ever since I got now, these bitches jockin' me
Stand ten toes down when I'm in these streets
I be down to let a nigga try to handle me
I got folks I'm tryna meet and I got things to see
If I ever call you family, ain't no in between

[Verse 2] Keep my mouth closed and I barely speak
I come from where niggas slime you over jealousy
Where niggas actin' like they family, then they try to keep
I gotta watch the nigga kill my partner on TV
Loyalty has no equal, not even love compare
I keep all my loved ones with me in my prayers
As a youngin, grandma told me never stop and stare
Ever get too comfortable with people that despair
For the ones livin' with me, I do it like you here
Smilin', I ain't sheddin' tears
Look at the shit we been through through the years
Beat the odds, couple miles in my mouth and ears

[Chorus] Said I been on my grind and now I barely sleep
Focused on the top and not what's down beneath
Gangsters move in silence, don't acknowledge me
Ever since I got now, these bitches jockin' me
Stand ten toes down when I'm in these streets
I be down to let a nigga try to handle me
I got folks I'm tryna meet and I got things to see
If I ever call you family, ain't no in between, whoa
