Yeah buddy 

I got a cold and all that shit 

Show ya'll how hard I work 

I really, I really go in, man 

From the heart, it's from the soul 

Hahaha 

We still having fun too though man 

It's gone be a real good year 

You watch 

Haha 

I'm telling you 



[Chorus] 

They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it 

And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it 

Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now 

I made it too far to look back down 

But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told 

And I ain't never ever going back to being broke 

Cause, F-Y-I 

I stay on my grind {grind} 

Tryna stop my shine, 

That day'll be never, ever 



[Verse] 

I started out just a fan {Fan} -- Writing like every other kid 

Grew up to be the man {Man} 

Paying bills at my mother's crib 

Everyday I'm hustling 

To get us out this situation 

Gotta deal with phony shows, groupie hoes and niggas hatin' 

Mostly yall embrace the small percentage of my city racist 

Instead of doing good 

They'd rather see me catching cases {Catching cases} 

The fans love me 

But I struggle tryna impress the label -- And all this got me feeling like 

It's way too much put on the table {Put on the table} 

I'm still smoking outta O's {Outta O} 

Some speculations cuz I'm hardly ever home {Yeah} 

Easy to say 'bout how we supposed to move on 

When we going threw depression and our Brother O's gone {Rest in peace} 

Was told you gotta go threw hell to get the big thing {Thing} 

And when you feel it can't get worse -- That's when shit change 

Obama's president, The Steelers won the 6th {Okay} 

So I aint threw trying -- I feel like I can do anything 



[Chorus] 

They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it 

And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it 

Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now 

I made it too far to look back down 

But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told 

And I ain't never ever going back to being broke 

Cause, F-Y-I 

I stay on my grind {grind} 

Tryna stop my shine, 

That day'll be never, ever 



[Bridge] 

Sturdy small town {Town} 

That we major {Major} 

We done made it to the top -- Floor 

From the basement 

We done made it to the top -- Floor 

From the basement 

We done made it to the top -- Floor 

From the basement 



[Verse] 

Big city, small town {Town} 

That's when you're money's up {Up} 

That's when they all 'round {All 'round} 

But the minute that you slip 

They dip 

And it's no one to depend on when the chips fall down {Okay} 

Me, I never cut a corner short 

I follow protocol {Protocol} 

Got my focus on {On} 

Took my notes and all 

This hard work, gone pay off {Yeah} 

The second that I'm rich -- I take the day off {Day off} 



[Chorus] 

They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it 

And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it 

Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now 

I made it too far to look back down 

But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told 

And I ain't never ever going back to being broke 

Cause, F-Y-I 

I stay on my grind {grind} 

Tryna stop my shine, 

That day'll be never, ever 



[Bridge] 

If you out there on your grind 

Put your hand up in the sky -- Say "We grindin'" {We Grindin'} {Uh huh} 

{Ay} If you got it and you tryna get some more 

Tell them boys "Yeah, we climbin'" {We climbin'} 

To my people 

Who know about strugglin' 

Tryna get somethin' -- {Yup} Cuz we came up for nothin' {For nothin'} 

What you in a rush for? 

It's all about timin' 

As soon as you're on -- You know the limit's the sky {You know the limit's the sky} 



[Chorus] 

They say the game done changed, man there's just some new players in it 

And they don't wanna see my team get up there and win it 

Try to keep me still, but look where I'm at now 

I made it too far to look back down 

But I ain't never ever gone forget what I been told 

And I ain't never ever going back to being broke 

Cause, F-Y-I 

I stay on my grind {grind} 

Tryna stop my shine, 

That day'll be never, ever
