Recreation
[Intro: Blaine Wesley]
Ayy, ayy
When you grind for a livin'
Yeah

[Verse 1: Blaine Wesley]
I found my passion and my patience
Ok wait, now let me demonstrate
I’ve been benefittin’ from this since I was twenty-eight
Fresh on my mind, one at a time
Let me innovate a way up out here
Without rhyme, k i'm fine
I’m on the interstate
I hit the stage for all the homies that I’ll thank
But ain't getting a dinner plate
Appreciate the gesture but just learn
I see the long term a littlе more than y’all from round here
So lеt me jot all these feelings instead of fillin' prescriptions
Turn the feelings to words, turn the sentence to digits
If this is for recreation then I might just skip it
But if this, is competition, then i’m right here pissin'
This season we undefeated, last year winless
Judge the track by the listens, and the bag by the millions
Got em jumpin' the fences, just to mind their own business
Hide the women and children, guess that makes me a villain
[Chorus: Blaine Wesley]
When you grind for a living, hey
One day you'll shine, One day you'll shine
One day you'll shine
When you grind for a living, hey
One day we'll shine
One day we'll be, we'll be just fine

[Verse 2: XV]
I found passion in recreation
My art is my craft
I raise the bar and put it all on the graph
I keep my one eye, CBS, on the GPS
For peeps who wanna see you stressed and fall off of your path
Through hours of Jedi training
You could say I made some right decisions
My homie schooled me to the poison like he Michael Bivins
Some people like the Venom, but my mission
Before I fell in love with Mary Jane, I had to have my Spidey senses
Suit by Tony Stark, sad that I can’t starch it
Car got Ned Stark'd, man I took the top off it
Park the invisible car on the red carpet
Don’t beg for a thing, don’t even beg pardon
Is what I told the homie, know that’s it’s your time for it
Tom Fords on Grammy night, is on my mind for it
Top notch delivery, you gotta sign for it
You not gon’ get it G, unless you grind for it
(yeah)
[Chorus: Blaine Wesley]
When you grind for a living, hey
One day you'll shine, One day you'll shine
One day you'll shine
When you grind for a living, hey
One day we'll shine
One day we'll be, we'll be just fine
