Been On the Grind

My own rags to famous rear view status Counting coins, chasing chaos, catching corners No stage but life's notorious performers Missed my bus, recapping my future past Bone broke dreams, now rocking a killer cast Actin' as a star but as an extra I thrust My word in the hat, mainstream is a bust Leaving tracks on trapped beats Riding steps tuned to high hat heat Loose to reality from the high game Noose to gravity pissed in drunk fame Making sense to cents in mind Shoulder to rock, been on the grind
