Lyrics
Patrick Carmello on the beat
Introduction to the beatmaker, Patrick Carmello.
Ooh, I been grindin' everyday
Expressing continuous effort and hard work.
Yeah, got some niggas in the cage
Referring to friends in prison.
Yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis.
Been grindin' everyday
Reiteration of daily grind.
Ayy, got some niggas in the cage
Continuation of friends in prison theme.
Put 'em in the safe
Mention of securing valuables in a safe.
STN
Reference to STN (Sauga City, Toronto).
Yeah, yeah, yeah (what up JoJo?)
Greeting and acknowledgment to JoJo.
Bitch, I been grindin' everyday
Expressing commitment to grind, plotting against rivals, and navigating the dangerous lifestyle.
Got some niggas with me, they been locked up in the cage
-And bitch, I'm steady plottin' on the opp shit everyday
-In the hood for them dollars, you get shot up in the face
-Yeah, I stacked up to my cake yeah

-I like pretty girls but I don't like no makeup
-Just holla see me later
-Diamonds different flavors
-Money in the thang girl
-My life got so amazing
-I'ma pull up to the hood yeah, gotta keep a thang on me
Describing carrying weapons, facing challenges, and defying authority.
Glizzy in the cut and he really screamin' gang on it
-Lifestyle like a movie, ayy

Acknowledging friends serving time and readiness for confrontation.
If you pull up I'ma fire in this bitch, yeah
-I ain't playin' I'm going 5 lil' bitch, yeah
-You want smoke we goin' fives lil' bitch, yeah
-Bitch, I been grindin' everyday
Reiteration of commitment to grinding and describing a luxurious lifestyle.
Got some niggas with me, they been locked up in the cage
-And bitch, I'm steady plottin' on the opp shit everyday
-In the hood for them dollars, you get shot up in the face
-Yeah, I stacked up to my cake yeah

-Diamonds different flavors
-Money in the thang girl
-My life got so amazing
-I've been getting money since a young fucking age
Narrating a journey from a young age, success, and encounters with challenges and adversaries.
Designer when I'm steppin' baby, you know I stay paid
-Diamonds they be dancing different water like the lake
-She don't wanna leave, wan' take pictures with my chain
-And I got gold teeth why shordy give me brains
-Ran off on the P like Boonk Gang did the chains
-Same nigga say he looking for me, he can catch me in the North
-Same niggas that be plottin' on me like I ain't down for war
-Got it out the gutter like, nigga, I was poor
-I was tryna turn up but these nigga's close the door
-In the trap house with your bitch and I got her doing chores
-And my mans got tatted up, had to even up the score
-Money I be making
Highlighting financial success, mistrust, and a lavish lifestyle.
Bossman conversations
-They smile in my face say they love me like I'm Raymond
-But I know why they hatin'
-We spending what they saving
-And this that lavish life but all I gotta say is
-Yeah, bitch, I been grindin' everyday
Final reiteration of dedication to hard work, the paradox of liking pretty girls without makeup, and a reflection on an amazing life.
Got some niggas with me, they been locked up in the cage
-And bitch, I'm steady plottin' on the opp shit everyday
-In the hood for them dollars, you get shot up in the face
-Yeah, I stacked up to my cake yeah
-My lifestyle no makeup
