Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You got me forced to crack my lids in two I'm still stuck inside the rubber room I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind I'm just another gear in the assembly line-oh no The noose gets tighter around my throat But I ain't at the end of my rope 'Cause I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Get it? A routine injection, a lethal dose But my day in the sun ain't even close There's no need to waste your prayers on me You better mark my words 'cause I'm history, yes indeed You might beg for mercy to get by But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side 'Cause I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind I said slave to the grind Slave to the grind, slave to the grind
