Chords for Masta Ace - Da Grind Feat. Apocalypse (With Lyrics)

[F#] _ [D#m] _ _ Yeah, send [F#]
this one out to everybody [G#] trying [C#] to make ends meet.
_ [F#]
Yeah.
I'm on the grind, still got my money on my mind, and I feel like I'm walking on a line.
When [G#] it seems like I'm running [Fm] out of time, that's when I'm going [F#] on the grind.
Hey yo, I'm trying to make my dollars [D#m] double.
I done found a place to fit in.
Niggas trying to get [F#] into this power struggle.
I work [C#] hard on a job like immigrants, and always try to get my first [F#] half in advance.
It sounds strange, [D#m] but the rap game is not a game.
You can make a lot of money, [F#] gain a lot of fame, but don't get it [G#] twisted.
You can get [C#] addicted, buy a mansion in the [F#] Hamptons, and get evicted.
Now if you call [D#m] me and I'm not around, I'm probably putting my grind down, doing [F#] shows out of town.
I be the [G#] manager, road manager, and call [C#] handler, book an agent, [F#] choreographer, and tour planner.
I be the [D#m] VP of marketing and promotions, producer and arranger, with a [F#] range of emotions.
And after it [G#] all, I still gotta [C#] perform at 3 o'clock in the morning when half [F#] the fans are gone, but it's fine.
[D#m] Been on the grind since like 88 or 89.
The game is [F#] foul like a plate of swine.
Now is there [G#] anybody kind like me?
[C#] Is there anybody out there on the grind [F#] like me?
[D#m] For everybody working 9 to 5.
For everybody trying to rise with their eyes [F#] on the prize.
I'm with you.
[G#] We all going through it.
But [C#] yo, deep down inside, I know we still [F#] gonna do it.
Oh, I'm on the grind.
Still got my money [D#m] on my mind.
And [F#] I feel like I'm walking on the line.
And [G#] it seems like I'm running out of time.
That's why I'm [A#m] always on the grind.
Yeah, I'm on the grind.
Still [F#] got my money on my mind.
And I feel like I'm walking on the line.
When [G#] it seems like I'm running [Fm] out of time, that's when I'm going [F#] on the grind.
I really feel I'm blessed, cause I was [D#m] born with a talented rhyme.
But the stress got me this close to quitting [F#] sometimes.
On a crowded A train [G#] every morning.
I can't wait [C#] for the day my hustle game don't gotta start [F#] this way.
Niggas think it's all [D#m] good when they see me and hear my CD.
And think I'm jumping in the [F#] 745 with TV.
They don't know [G#] I miss tours and shows [C#] to go to work and pay bills and keep doing [F#] my clothes.
In the shadow of a [D#m] legend, so they expect me to spit and sound like him.
But y [F#]'all need to let it go.
Every day [G#] I face the crossroad of rapid [C#] drugs, album cuts, and singles.
And [F#] crackheads and clapping thugs.
When I'm broke [D#m] my mom won't even give me a hug.
But on payday I'm a baby [F#] and she call it love.
I keep [G#] making my moves cause one day [C#] I'ma prove I got what it take and I [F#] will not lose.
Yeah, I'm on the grind.
Still got my money on my mind.
And I feel like I'm walking on the line.
When [G#] it seems like I'm running out of time, that's when I'm going [F#] on the grind.
Yeah, I'm on the [D#m] grind.
Still got my money on my mind.
And [C#] I feel like I'm walking on the line.
When it [G#] seems like I'm running out of time, that's when I'm going [F#] on the grind.
