If I had to explain what the grind consists of, it would be staying consistent
While at the same time realizing that it could be gone in an instant
How many times I've failed? Several
But I'm trying to reach new levels
It can be unsettling for the satan how I never seem to settle
I don't—
I don't believe in the god they don't believe in
'Cause their god's distant, cold, and deceiving
The One I know, He's close, never leaving
Wake up every morning, thanking Him that I'm breathing
You see the potential in every day when you know that life has meaning
Yetzer hara thinking he can lure me in, tryna be my friend
You would think I was doing hachnasas orchim, I'm like "come again"
Told him he's the same now as he was then, and it will never end
So if I'm being straight, I won't dare to bend
And if I'm being real, I won't play pretend, 'cause
Speech is a vessel
Use it right and you'll feel complete
Poor satan
Before I gave him the L, thought he could compete
We don't speak rechilus, no, can't ever spill the tea
The studio's the only place I ever drop some heat
The words we say in only one moment could haunt a man for years
They say that walls have ears
But don't forget, they're not the ones shedding tears
Once you tell, there ain't no telling who hears
It spreads from one to the next, remember way back when you told yourself it was just your peers
Trust me, too many times I've been there — and looking back, it hurts
When it comes to the way they feel, you can't necessarily hit reverse
But we're also just as capable of making days with words
I must strive to realize the impacts, for better or—
