Four Oh Tree - The Grind Lyrics

I look around, I'm watching people making moves
I look at me I see careers I put up into tombs
I got the blues, and I ain't talking bout that boogie woogie
I'm speaking straight out the soul in torn jeans and hoodies
The winter wind blows something bitter sweet
The sky is grey, dripping snow crunching round my feet
I'm skipping stones, but in a frozen river skidding
I'm skipping stones, because my time's no longer healing
It's given me a wound to wear open for the time
That's not why I'm here is to complain and to whine
Because I'm tired of the bitching, the excuses and lies
I'm accountable for me and I been wasting my time
That's why

I'm at the grind, I know I never should've stopped
I'm at the grind, stress hurting more than I thought
I'm at the grind, this time it's never gonna end
I'm at the grind, in the lab, with a pad and a pen
I'm at the grind, I know I never should've stopped
I'm at the grind, stress hurting more than I thought
I'm at the grind, this time it's never gonna end
I'm at the grind, in the lab, with a pad and a pen

There's shows on shows on shows in the season of winter
I guess these artists like performing in the freezing cold blizzards
But the flurries ain't affecting my vision, I got precision
I'm cutting, chopping, writing while persistence keeps me fighting
Lighting dimming with the days, getting shorter by the minute
December solstice solely shows me not to take it slowly
Push the pen to the paper, applause you're sure to be getting
Go get it, grinding, gruesome, tiring, top approaching, keep on climbing
F*ck, I can't believe this, I ain't seen this side of me before, fire flying from my core
The pistons pumping pressure push me past the boiling point
I made a choice, I'll make a killing off my voice
And now

I'm at the grind, I know I never should've stopped
I'm at the grind, stress hurting more than I thought
I'm at the grind, this time it's never gonna end
I'm at the grind, in the lab, with a pad and a pen
I'm at the grind, I know I never should've stopped
I'm at the grind, stress hurting more than I thought
I'm at the grind, this time it's never gonna end
I'm at the grind, in the lab, with a pad and a pen
