K-Rino - Honest Grind lyrics

It’s alright to pat yourself
On the back sometime
That don’t make you arrogant
Sometimes you gotta look at
Your own accomplishments
And see where you came from, ay

You got people that grind, self driven
Doing they best to make a honest living
The kind of people who work and
Pray even in they troubles
Never done nothing illegal even
In they struggle
God-given resources they put to use
Never use growing up broke as an excuse
Standing on they own two
Never begging from you
Knowing when it’s time to get it
You do what they gotta do it’s a challenge
With no fear of facing defeat
Not a day goes by that
Them children don’t eat
Kept it honest your whole life
No type of deceit
And your reward comes from your
Lord when the mission’s complete, come on

If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road
It’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need
To put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out
Of any jam you in

Baby girl, I got to give you your credit
You was faced with a trying
Situation then met it
Your upbringing didn’t go well
Your world was pathetic
The worst things you was ever told
Your family said it
Mama regretted having you but
You didn’t receive it
You was strong enough and smart
Enough to never believe it
Got a education and made it
Despite all the treatment
Raised by evil people whose hearts
Were harder than cement
And even though it had you
Grieving and shedding some tears
You was motivated to have
You a successful career
And despite the past pain
Being constant and blatant
You still went back and helped the
Same ones who was hating come on

If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road
It’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need
To put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out
Of any jam you in

It’s such a beautiful blast
When old enemies can put their
Differences in the past to forgive
To forgive is getting rougher these days
It ain’t cool for y’all to take
That petty stuff to the grave
It’s ugly and played out
We had enough of those ways
And I’m sure this ain’t the kind
Of cat your mother done raised
If your brother sacrificed for you
And covered your A
You gotta show the same kind
Of love your brother displayed
Seems like loving is so hard
But hatred is simple
Holding a grudge causes stress to
Build up in your temple
It’s all in your head
Everything you deal with is mental
Never think the door is closed on
You despite what you been through, yeah

If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road
It’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need
To put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out
Of any jam you in

Yeah, ah, yeah, it’s gon' be alright, man

If it was easy then everyone would do it
Walking down a bumpy road
It’s natural to stumble through it
(True) and it’s never no need
To put a scandal in
A honest grind will get you out
Of any jam you in
