Every Cent Lyrics

It really ain't that hard

Keep it real

I know you just tryna eat

You just tryna heal

I don't really trust no one

That's my Achilles' heel

And I ain't making nothing up

I ain't Key and Peele

Something wrong

Something don't feel right

They don't wanna see us win

They wanna give us life

This one for my people

All we know is strife

And we need help

We don't need advice

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

Don't lock me up I'll jump the fence

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

Don't lock me up I'll jump the fence

I don't wanna talk

I just need to speak

How you let em graduate when they can't even read

And I don't like to talk about it, ain't easy for me

I had my hand out, but I ain't got nothing for free

I'm up now, but for a minute it was looking bleak

I ain't had no free lunch, so I had to scheme

You don't wanna stay here but you can take a peek

I've seen murders go from Geyer Springs to 14th

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

Don't lock me up I'll jump the fence

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

I had to grind for every cent

Don't lock me up I'll jump the fence
