Lyrics
0:12i see you writin' on my wall, why you wanna do that?

0:22and they do it right in my face
0:25see i can't sit back and let it all wash away
0:29i worked too hard for it to be erased
0:32before you talk, i'ma finish what i gotta say
0:37cause i already put in time with all of my grindin'
0:40you know i grind, through all of this trouble, all of this trouble
