About Grinding

[Intro]

(Filthy Gears)

[Hook]
Don't tell me about grinding, who are you telling?
I was doing Grime when shit weren't selling
Had to put in work blud, JME tell 'em
These MCs don't know about fretting
One 'til 3 in the morning, stressing
On the night bus and an op end sweating
Bout twenty yutes were screaming out "GET HIM!"
Back then, you couldn't make it by breading
About grinding, who are you telling?
I was doing Grime when shit weren't selling
Had to put in work blud, JME tell 'em
These MCs don't know about fretting
One 'til 3 in the morning, stressing
On the night bus and an op end sweating
Bout twenty yutes were screaming out "GET HIM!"
Back then, you couldn't make it by breading

[Verse 1]:
Sick of these complainers talking crap
Man get on my nerves when they do that
What do you know about being booked for a bill
But it cost 70 to get there and back
Me and sketch on a 1.2 hatchback
With dodgey insurance moving mad
Promoters talking about they got half of the money
Now somebody's got to get slapped
Everybody's getting decent cheques
Back then I didn't even have PRS
18 years old causing a mess
Every week I was told "you're under arrest"
What do you know about people's day on tag
You won't believe how many phones got jacked
Cos a man needed studio time that bad
Trust me, them times there were mad

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of these guys blud
I see man tweeting shit all the time blud
What you know about no social media
In fact, what do you man know about dial-up
Had to send tunes when your mum weren't home
'Cos your net cuts out when she uses the phone
These days you can send that by phone
Privileged MC, how dare you moan
Today these fools are vital
There weren't no Spotify
There weren't no Tidal
What do you know about being 14
Saving a weeks lunch money to buy one vinyl?
About "struggling", you need to sit down
Fam, man didn't even know about mix sounds
Nowadays you can re-tweet your new shit
Them days I had to bluetooth it so

[Verse 3]
Oi, oi likkle mic man
I remember when we had no mic, fam
Had to use my DJ headphones to MC
Still that DJ was mixin' tight fam
I remember them days, can you?
If you never had tekkerz, you wouldn't survive fam
Now you got Serato and CDJ's that show man how to mix in time fam
I'm not sayin' you man got it easy
Nah, I'm just sayin' compared to that shit us lot had to...
D'You know what? Scrap that. You man got it easy
Your damn right me and you are not equal
Half of the stations you go on are legal
Never had youtube, there weren't no funding
Complaining? I can't relate to you people
Why don't you mash some work instead of sittin' there tryin' to make your instagram look nice?
I was working with rude kid for like four years before I even knew what he looked like
I got bumped off Money Over Everyone
I got paid once, It's not what it looks like
Some of us have been here for over 10 years
Only now it looks hype
