Grind Ya Down Lyrics

When there's smoke there's a fire burning

When there's light all over the sky

There's people learning

To your left and to your right

You're always facing a fight

A world all evil and cruel

Better wake up and wise up

Don't be such a fool

There's a war just outside your window

And no pot of gold waits at the end of the rainbow

Guns a-shootin' in the street

Bodies burning in the heat

People dying all around

Sooner or later this world will grind ya down

City streets where the shadows flicker

Loaded gun in your face

The kid is ready to pull the trigger

You ain't down with the hood

And soon you won't look that good

Take a good look around

'Cause sooner or later this world will grind ya down

Yes, sooner or later this world will grind ya down

Oh, sooner or later
