[Intro: Lil Durk]
(I swear to God, man)
Uh, oh-oh-oh, yeah
(Only if you give a fuck)
Ayy
[Chorus: Lil Durk]
All my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Wanna slice? Got to roll the dice, that's why
All my life, I been grindin' all my life, yeah
[Verse 1: Lil Durk]
Look, all my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Wanna slice? Got to roll the dice, that's why
All my life, I been grindin' all my life, yeah
Look, I grew up in the streets without no heart
I'm prayin' to my Glock and my card, yeah
I risked it all, put twenty in a jar
I risked it all, juggin' at the park, yeah
Starvin' in them trenches, not a penny in my pocket
I was searchin' for a way, no one ever tried to stop it
I've been grindin' all my life, never been no other option
I was cuttin' off my safe for the ones who never clocked in
Lot of times I wanted to put the drank down
Yeah, I know the feeling of my mans down
No, I ain't perfect, I done got around
But all the times I've been, you better stand down
Yeah, I was stuck inside the trenches, tryna make it out
I was hittin' licks, tryna take the safe out the house
First I had to find myself, had to find Durk
Then I had to find my style, gotta find the work
In the cut, smokin' Zaza, me and Von, we high as hell
I'm tryna make my momma proud and buy her Chanel
And I done went to war with the city, got 'em scared as hell
Hatin' on me 'cause I'm next, they want me dead as well
Woo, all my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Wanna slice? Got to roll the dice, that's why
All my life, I been grindin' all my life, yeah
[Chorus: Lil Durk & J. Cole]
All my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Wanna slice? Got to roll the dice, that's why
All my life, I been grindin' all my life, yeah
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Painkillers in the cabinet
Mama steady grabbin' it
I was runnin' from my feelings
Tryna hide 'em, didn't know I'm stackin' it
Dyin' on the inside, tryna look like I'm intact
But the truth is, I'm crashin' and burnin' in fact
Tables turnin', lesson learned, my best look
You better have some back-up if you press Durk
See I was juggin' in the hallway on the dead end
Tryna make it back to class 'fore the teacher catch me
Every mornin', I'ma hit the block, play the wind
Keep an eye out for the cops, just to make a penny
Turned me into a menace
Saw the circle gettin' smaller, only made me a chemist
All them nights I ain't eat, oh, that made me a gorilla
Did some things I couldn't sleep, it's a hell of a feelin'
But I was dreamin' of Bentley's, Phantom's with 'em, sittin' pretty
I was schemin' since a jit, doin' jobs, gettin' fifty
Said the don, J. Cole, ain't dropped in a minute
Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds, nigga
[Chorus: Lil Durk & J. Cole]
All my life, been grindin' all my life
Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price
Wanna slice? Got to roll the dice, that's why
All my life, I been grindin' all my life, yeah
[Outro: Lil Durk]
(I swear to God, man)
Uh, oh-oh-oh, yeah
Ayy
