Lyrics
[Chorus]
Ayo, we still grindin', still shinin'
Caught my steel survivin'
Souls alignin', bitches kill for timin'
I load up the nine, a couple shots for the lines
I sold their soul, I beat the totem pole
How we survive where we make one
In a disguise, you can take some
Ain't no pride where it ain't none
You can see the blood in my eyes
This is all day twenty-five
[Verse 1: Joell Ortiz]
Uh, I'm nice nice
The mic's Mike Tyson, Jordan and Jackson in a prime fight
Ballin' while walkin' backwards
To all you rappers, talkin' savage
If a war should happen, based on ballpoint action
I would storm you like the North and cause your walls collapsin'
This stealth bomb versus horse and carriage
You'll fall every time based on the laws of average
Speakin' of fall, I get on any track and leave you like the autumn
Apples don't fall far from trees, and my daddy left me stranded, so, there you have it (Woo)
I'm Booth Magic, poof, you're enamored by every paragraph full of truth and passion
Then true compassion sets in when you presume
You're lackin' some tricks in your bag
Ain't no rabbits in that hat, you just out here cappin', captain
Crunch all the numbers you want if that makes you feel better
You sold more records but I'm still better, still clever
Still sharper than steel, never had a standstill
Still, I can stand still and move on whoever
[Chorus]
Ayo, we still grindin', still shinin'
Caught my steel survivin'
Souls alignin', bitches kill for timin'
I load up the nine, a couple shots for the lines
I sold their soul, I beat the totem pole
How we survive where we make one
In a disguise, you can take some
Ain't no pride where it ain't none
You can see the blood in my eyes
This is all day twenty-five
[Verse 2: KXNG Crooked]
Shit get cold in California, nigga, it's on the night
When you survivin' in the jungle, ain't no wrong or right
To you critics misjudgin' all of the songs I write
You won't get it till I'm dead, I put that on my life
You want me to freestyle, nah, that ain't the style I'm on
'Cause everything you get for free, you put no value on
They love you underground and they hate you 'cause now you on
They wanna behead you the same day that they crown you on
I got my county on, jail cell
Till I reversed welfare and told them farewell
And dipped like I was hell rail
Me and Joell, two goats, we LL
Just put it together for niggas who can't spell well
To rob banks, sometimes it takes two, but we live legal now
Bars we leave 'em out, if they ain't true
At times, life will try to break you, till you're almost through
That's why we call it a breakthrough
[Chorus]
Ayo, we still grindin', still shinin'
Caught my steel survivin'
Souls alignin', bitches kill for timin'
I load up the nine, a couple shots for the lines
I sold their soul, I beat the totem pole
How we survive where we make one
In a disguise, you can take some
Ain't no pride where it ain't none
You can see the blood in my eyes
This is all day twenty-five
Ayo, we still grindin', still shinin'
Caught my steel survivin'
Souls alignin', bitches kill for timin'
I load up the nine, a couple shots for the lines
I sold their soul, I beat the totem pole
How we survive where we make one
In a disguise, you can take some
Ain't no pride where it ain't none
You can see the blood in my eyes
This is all day twenty-five
