Everything's a hustle anymore If you ain't selling something, Dashing, or driving, whatever How do you make enough dough to even live You hear what I'm saying I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I ain't got no cash But them bills keep comin' in, hey Three degrees and nothin' in hand startin' Etsy and an Onlyfans, ey Got work again Will it ever end Push it to the brink and break down Keep going till you're in the ground, aw Hey hey, ey ey ey ey I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind Got some hobbies I can monetize Anything to get them dollar signs, breakin' free from the rat race Really tired of inflation's pace Serving time in this prison Work always got me trippin' Can't stop even when I'm burnin' out 'Cause we all know money makes the world go 'round Hey hey, ey ey I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind Overtime, out of money Work overtime, but out of money Workin' overtime but, out of money, Always grindin' for ya honey Overtime, out of money Work overtime, but out of money Workin' overtime but, out of money, Always grindin' for ya honey Hey hey, ey ey ey ey ey, I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind I'm on the grind

Hey, hey If you were me, if you were me You wouldn't talk so casually If you were me, if you were me You'd make believe you understand, and that you see If you were me, if you were me You see me one place And you think you know me, baby No need to read the story, 'cause you've seen the cover Always say "if I were you" And proceed to tell me just what you would do How to get rich quick, and how to find the chicks Thinking you're so clever Hey, hey If you were me, if you were me You wouldn't talk so casually If you were me, if you were me You'd make believe you understand, and that you see If you were me, if you were me You do things one time and you Think you know it all down to an art You find me so naive That you constantly patronize (patronize!) Always say "if I were you" How 'bout ya piss off? That's what I think you should do Never asked for advice, not when yours is so trite, Do it yourself then, if you know better Hey, hey If you were me, if you were me You wouldn't talk so casually If you were me, if you were me You'd make believe you understand and that you see If you were me, if you were me Not cuttin' my hair, don't tell me what to wear, no Think I ain't got the skills, but I'm still paying my bills, oh Keep the free advice, you can go take a hike, oh Aw… yeah Hit 'em with the key change, uh Hey, hey If you were me, if you were me You wouldn't talk so casually If you were me, if you were me You'd make believe you understand and that you see If you were me, if you were me You see me one place And you think you know me, baby No need to read the story, 'cause you've seen the cover Stop saying "if I were you" You're not. You can take a seat, too It's great that you got a plan; no I don't give a damn 'cause you ain't me! Nah, you ain't me Hey, hey If you were me, if you were me You wouldn't talk so casually If you were me, if you were me You'd make believe you understand and that you see If you were me, if you were me

That Arrow Ain't From Cupid 04:02
lyrics

I'm adrift in the ocean Swimming in a mess of emotions Got no one to hold me All these no-replies got me lonely Candid pictures, empty smiles Guess that I'll go out for a little while Is this my crutch, should I resign Does she want too much, can't she decide? Old flames are more like Dull embers now But I can't be free From the memories We take things for granted When they go our way Then when it's all gone It feels so wrong That arrow ain't from Cupid It's just another shot in the dark Trying to make a connection, But I don't know who you are The search for love is hallow Whether you're looking near or far Once again I'm sitting alone Once again coffee's getting cold Pull out my little black mirror Faces and chances getting clearer Then I said hi as she walked right past That girl I knew well, she was so high class So many times we'd talked, she had no ring But like so many others, she let the silence sting She only stared, uttered no single word Guess by now I really should have learned That arrow ain't from Cupid It's just another shot in the dark Trying to make a connection, But I don't know who you are The search for love is hallow Whether you're looking near or far That arrow ain't from Cupid It's just another shot in the dark Trying to make a connection, But I don't know who you are The search for love is hallow Whether you're looking near or far That arrow ain't from Cupid It's just another shot in the dark Trying to make a connection, But I don't know who you are The search for love is hallow Whether you're looking near or far
