[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Hold up, hold up
Feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it
I've been grindin', grindin'
I've been grindin', grindin'

[Chorus]
Boy, I've been grindin' way too long
I've been grindin', I've been grindin'
Tryna put my partners on
Have 'em shinin', have 'em shinin'
I hold it down for where I'm from
(West up, west up)
They wildin', they wildin'
Boy, this for all my dawgs that's gone (R.I.P., rest in peace)
I know you're smilin', I know you're smilin'

[Verse 1]
I'm from the the city where DJ Screw forever missed
I'ma buy the whole neighborhood, bikes like my name Lil Flip
Igbo kwenu, hey, just hopped off the mothership
Mama told me leave them beats alone, but I told her I can't quit

[Bridge]
'Cause I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
Told her I do this for my dawgs (Love y'all, all of y'all)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (You, you, you, you)
[Verse 2]
I do it for my dawgs like Scooby and Shaggy
For all my partners locked up tryna contact me
We all some young kings, we just really need a palace
I swear my partners good, they just got some bad habits
Boy, I swear they chase cabbage like a rabbit
Get treated like a savage
And keep something shockin' for the static

[Chorus]
Boy, I've been grindin' way too long
I've been grindin', I've been grindin'
Tryna put my partners on
Have 'em shinin', have 'em shinin'
I hold it down for where I'm from
(West up, west up)
They wildin', they wildin'
Boy, this for all my dawgs that's gone (R.I.P., rest in peace)
I know you're smilin', I know you're smilin'

[Verse 3]
I'm from the the city where DJ Screw forever missed
I'ma buy the whole neighborhood, bikes like my name Lil Flip
Igbo kwenu, just hopped off the mothership
Mama told me leave them beats alone, but I told her I can't quit
[Bridge]
'Cause I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (Yeah)
Told her I do this for my dawgs (Love y'all, all of y'all)
I swear I do this for my dawgs (You, you, you, you)

[Verse 4]
My dawg, they started from the bottom, Drake type
Yo' dawgs they hatin' on they partners, fake type
I try to calm 'em down, but they got an appetite
Head up in the clouds, something like a satellite
They want the limelight so they grind nights 'till they shine bright Hold up, and they play the post like Dwight

[Chorus]
Boy, I been grindin' way too long
I've been grindin', I've been grindin'
Tryna put my partners on
Have 'em shinin', have 'em shinin'
I hold it down for where I'm from
(West up, west up)
They wildin', they wildin'
Boy, this for all my dawgs that's gone (R.I.P., rest in peace)
I know you're smilin', I know you're smilin'

[Outro]
Boy I've been grindin', I've been grindin'
Tryna put my partners.. have 'em shinin'
I hold it down for where I'm from
