Thank You for Your Love - 大沢伸一

Had a conversation the other day with my old man/
He said something that almost made me hang up the phone man/
Not that every time we talk it's a problem,//
But he really had me heated at this particular comment////
Why don't you stop chasin’your dreams and rapping all the time/
Come back to the States and try to find a 9-5?//
He might as well have told me to just kill myself/
Like I'ma start over and leave what I built myself////-8
See, me and my father have some fundamental differences/
He's the type to find 1 chick to kiss and kick it wit//
I'm the type spend a grip, to get in fights and hit my fist/
I'm the type to invite multiple mistresses to kick it wit////
And to act pretentious and pretend like I ain't seen their clitoris/
Basically taking risks is what makes this life interesting/
I ain't interested in entering a business when/
There's a cap on your digits but the work you’re puttin' in is unlimited////-16
Chorus:
So I'ma grind... all night
Until I see the sun shining, yea (come on, let’s grind)
Then I'm gonna grind all night
Until I shine (shine for me y’all)I shine (shine)
I'm gonna grind all night, ‘til I shine all day
3x
Or I'll take the sun rays, that's the American way
2nd verse:
But this economy is constantly in poverty/
I mean in regards to independence, man, they're committing robbery//
Then they say that they gon' help with discounts on some property/
Then they give you funds so you can function properly////
Now this sounds all good, but what's funny to me/
Sound like the situation I was in when I was 15//
Get some money from my parents from time to time/
And I'd lay my head down in a house that wasn't mine////-8
So government give food and a place to sleep/
Sound to me like it's some modern day sla-ve-ry///
Sound like the set up like Amerie/
Thick legs, no ass. I'm ashamed that he////
Would even suggest something, that's so plain to me/
Get involved in a system that'll take from me//
And give away for free, it's not appropriate to mis-appropriate/
I'm working to make change, but not to give away////-16
(Chorus)
3rd Verse:
Sallie Mae is banging at my door, but I ain't rich yet/
You'll get money when I get mine bitch (yea)
I'm not interested in your interest/
I'm just tryna hit a lick like I got a mistress////
My patience is wearing thin, Lady Luck ain't struck/
The slut better hurry up, my time almost up//
Mother nature will hate ya, when it's rain it pours/
And I'm feeling like I'm drowning in the middle of a storm////-8
I got too many female problems/
My girl wanna leave, cuz she think I'll be a star soon//
Now I'm writing this verse, thinking that I might quit/
Cuz a star ain't shit if you ain't got your moon to share your light wit////
Nice whips... fly kicks/
Means nothing if it isn’t priceless//
If I don't have my heart with me then I'm lifeless/
But that pain in my heart is what's helping me write this////-16
