  • Yo, I go by the name
    (I'm yo' Pusha) of Pharrell from the Neptunes
    And I just wanna let y'all know (I'm yo' Pusha)
    The world is about to feel
    Something (I'm yo' Pusha)
    That they've never felt before, c'mon

    From ghetto to ghetto, to backyard to yard
    I sell it whip on whip, it's off the hard
    I'm the neighborhood Pusha
    Call me subwoofer, 'cause I pump bass like that, Jack
    On or off the track, I'm heavy, cuz
    Ball 'til you fall 'cause you could duck to the Feddy Govs
    Sorry, my love, what I'm seeing through these eyes
    Benz convoys with the wagon on the side
    Only big boys keep deuces on the ride
    Gucci Chuck Taylor with the dragon on the side
    Man, I make a buck, why scram?
    I'm trying to show y'all who the fuck I am
    The jewels is flirting, be damned if I'm hurtin'
    Legend in two games like I'm Pee Wee Kirkland
    Platinum on the block with consistent hits
    While Pharrell keep talking this music shit

    (Ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)

    Patty cake, patty cake, I'm the baker's man
    I bake them cakes as fast as I can
    And you can tell by how my bread stack up
    Then disguise it as rap so the Feds back up
    Watch it, like my whip, like my chick, topless
    Doing a buck-six with me in the cockpit
    Grindin' cousin, I got hoes for a dozen
    Even 11-5, if I see ya keep it comin'
    And my weight, that's just as heavy as my name
    So much dough, I can't swear I won't change
    Excuse me if my wealth got me full of myself
    Cocky, something that I just can't help
    Especially when them twenties is spinning like windmills
    And the ice thirty-two below minus the windchill
    Filthy, the word that best defines me
    I'm just grinding man, y'all nevermind me

    (Ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)

    (Huh-huh)
    Grindin' (whoa), you know what I keep in the linin' (whoa)
    Niggas better stay in line when (whoa)
    You see a nigga like me shinin' (grinding)

    Grindin' (whoa), you know what I keep in the linin' (whoa)
    Niggas better stay in line when (whoa)
    You see a nigga like me shinin' (grinding)

    My grind's 'bout family, never been about fame
    Them days I wasn't able, there was always 'caine
    Four and a half will get you in the game
    Anything less is just a goddamn shame
    Guess the weight, my watch got blue chips in the face
    Glock with two tips, whoever gets in the way
    Not to mention the hideaway that rests by the lake
    Consider my raw demeanor the icing on the cake, I'm grinding

    I move 'caine like a cripple
    Balance weight through the hood
    Kids call me Mr. Sniffles, other hand on my nickel
    Plated whistle, one eye closed, I'll hit you
    As if I was Slick Rick, my aim is still an issue
    Lose your soul in whichever palm I'm holdin'
    One'll leave you frozen, the other, noddin' and dozin', I'm grindin', Jack

    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)
    Grindin' (ah)

    (Huh-huh)
    Grindin' (whoa), you know what I keep in the linin' (whoa)
    Niggas better stay in line when (whoa)
    You see a nigga like me shinin' (grinding)

    Grindin' (whoa), you know what I keep in the linin' (whoa)
    Niggas better stay in line when (whoa)
    You see a nigga like me shinin' (grinding) Writer/s: Chad Hugo, Gene Thornton Jr, Pharrell Williams, Terrence Thornton
