Unkle Adams feat. Dubbs The Grindstone song lyrics
Just like anybody I've been knocked around
I started on a mic wrapped in paper towel
I just wish my grandma could see now
I'm getting played around the world makin' you proud
I used to care what these other rappers thought of me
Things they used to say to me really used to bother me
I always felt that I was an anomaly
My audience has grown like my province's economy
I was like damn these kids that I speak too
Lonely and broken hoping for a break through
They need a role model that they can relate too
I want you to stay true even if they hate you
Even if they tell you that you'll never make it
They said it to me now I'm getting famous
Just because they talk doesn't mean you gotta' listen
Block em' all out and focus on the mission
Let's go!
Focus the road that you're travelin' now
You can fall but you know you could never back down
If you stay focused and go and maintain control
And you know that you got this! (got this)
Keep your nose to the grind stone
Sky is the limit if you believe in a limit homie I don't
I stay focused and go and maintain control
And I know that I got this!
2002,
That was the first time
Unkle Adams freestyled the punch line
I didn't have a name yet but I ran with it
I started practicin' and became passionate
After a bit I became decent
I was always rappin' at parties on the weekend
You see the people would gather in a circle
And yell words for my freestyle word flow
I kept flowing until I would turn purple
It wasn't perfect but I was being heard though
I started recording and thought it was killer
My computer mic was wrapped in a pop filter
Made out of paper towel along with some scotch tape
Doesn't matter how you start as long as you've got faith
I've always had a sense that I was meant to do this
Whatever you love the advice I give you is
Focus the road that you're travelin' now
You can fall but you know you could never back down
If you stay focused and go and maintain control
And you know that you got this! (got this)
Keep your nose to the grind stone
Sky is the limit if you believe in a limit homie I don't
I stay focused and go and maintain control
And I know that I got this!
I built this brand as an independent man
With priceless advice and support from my dad
My family and friends what more could I ask
Furthermore I think I was born for the task
I used to make tracks in my mom's apartment
Lived through a rough patch made it through the darkness
Now I'm played overseas look what I've accomplished
The tougher the struggle the sweeter the conquest
I'm on this every little bit of it
It's about time that I started seeing benefits
Ever since I was 14 I've been doin' this
I'm new to some of you but I am not new to this
I have calculated and revaluated
I kept working I never sat around and waited
I put my shovel in the dirt now the ground is breakin'
If you refuse to quit then you're bound to make it
Focus the road that you're travelin' now
You can fall but you know you could never back down
If you stay focused and go and maintain control
And you know that you got this! (got this)
Keep your nose to the grind stone
Sky is the limit if you believe in a limit homie I don't
I stay focused and go and maintain control
And I know that I got this!
