Grind

I'm on a lonely walk trying to be tony hawk

Skating past the little spot where my homie fought

Ask my parents for the sneaks that my homie got

But we barely speak at all I aint home a lot

Cuz every hour every week I just rode the block

Little skate rat got a dollar in my only sock

Skate back to store for a soda pop

I'm in the mall food court with my friends a lot

Sneaking out at night sometimes we getting caught

Speeding on my bike like up and down the block

I call this girl I like I think she kind of hot

But will she call me back that's my only thought

Wrong place wrong time almost got me shot

By a cop rolling by at the dealer shop

But I skate away I'm never getting caught

Watch it fade to grey and this I thought

I was on my grind grind grind grind grind

You can find me all the time time time time time

Cats went from skate or die to skateboarding aint a crime

Even though sometimes crime and skateboard coincide

I was on that 180 heel flip to a backside tail slide

Better stick the landing right

Around that time the scene went from punk rock to hip hop

Started spitting rhymes in the skate shop

Felt like i was in the midst of a renaissance

When culture collide and give birth to a new time

Back then i was blind chasing girls

Had a split from the world industry

Flip mentalities got real spit fire for the king

The original vision Christ was never plan b

Life changed when a switch stance kick flip to rail slide

Broken growth plate shattered tail bone

Put my board away started picking up a microphone

Since that day you could say i was on my...

I used to kick flip to grind now I kick flip the rhyme

Got mind on my money and the money on my mind

But my money is a dime and that aint helping me to shine

Contemplating crime just to help me get by

But I can't see the time and I can't seem to find

A little peace of mind and I can't seem to climb
