Erykah Badu Steady On the Grind song lyrics

Every day is a struggle how to hustle some doe

If you was raised in the hood well then you already know

It be days it be good but mostly money be slow

Have you ever been hungry before gotta get these dollars man

Steady on the grind, steady on the grind

'Cause I got to make it happen for one last to make ya know me

Steady on the grind, steady on the grind

'Cause I got to make it happen, ain't nobody gone do it for me

Gotta get these dollars man

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Steady on the grind, deadly on the grind

Money on mind, steady on the grind

Steady on the grind, deadly on the grind

Money on my mind, it's already on my mind

It's already on my mind

Every day is a struggle how to hustle some doe

If you was raised in the hood well then you already know

It be days it be good but only money be slow

Have you ever been hungry before

Well, I'm a freedom fighter, this killa keep him off his garbie

People army guerrilla, economic development down for manual labor

Revolutionary hustler fund raiser, catch me doing outreach

See me running the streets politically educated but never graduated

Call me doc like my dude shakure fight for the core

Have you ever been hungry before fa shure

Mommie gotta job makin' about six of 'em a hour

She became to brag with it when daddy was unemployed

Working forty plus hous and kissing ass

Seeming like the only way she could get some cash

She struggling they don't know why we hustlin'

Pullin' my own weight

I be hearing them fussin' fightin' at night mad late

Over economics it's logic meaning they don't got it

Living in the projects money's the only object

She makes weighly a week standing on her feet

The engine needs a meetin', the family ain't eatin'

And the taxes is ten percent the rest is for the rent

The crime is what you get and niggas is innocent

See it really ain't about if your eatin' is freedom or not freedom

Reepin' or not reepin'
