Granite and Grime

(Verse 1)
C'mon y'all know we stress
Ain't no lie it's what we do best
Every time we face life's grand tests
We all end up a hot mess
More or less it's a shame how we play this game
Doing real bad things just to keep a good name

(Hook)
Now we can struggle for it all our life
But in the mean time we best do ourselves right
We needs to take a break before we get broke off
Cause we'll be livin in strife until we're livin the life
And that ain't no fun

(Chorus)
C'mon get up, get out, get to have a good time
Get low, bend back, till you're breakin ya spine
Get loose, get crunk, like it's a damn crime
Get down and get dirty in the granite and grime

Get hot, get wet, like you're breakin a sweat
Have class, spend cash, like life is a bet
Show them east coast boys how the south can grind
Get neck deep funky in the granite and grime

(Verse 2)
Now people we lose
When we make mistakes but it's because we choose
Not to raise our stakes when we act a fool
Then we end up all getting schooled
But it's all cool it's a shame cause we play this game
Doing real bad things just to keep a good name

(Hook)
Now we can try to fake it every time
But in the mean while we gotta do something right
We needs to take a break before we get broke off
Cause we'll be livin in strife until we're livin the life
And that ain't no fun

(Chorus)
C'mon get up, get out, get to have a good time
Get low, bend back, till you're breakin ya spine
Get loose, get crunk, like it's a damn crime
Get down and get dirty in the granite and grime

Get hot, get wet, like you're breakin a sweat
Have class, spend cash, like life is a bet
Show them east coast boys how the south can grind
Get neck deep funky in the granite and grime

(Bridge) We needs to live till livin is out of style
We needs to give till we've given all we've got
We needs to hope  till hope is hoping on us
We needs to quit all the crying and quit all the fuss
We needs to wreck out loud till the wrecking is hushed

(Refrain)
C'mon get up, get out, get to have a good time
Get low, bend back, till you're breakin ya spine
Get loose, get crunk, like it's a damn crime
Get down and get dirty in the granite and grime

Get hot, get wet, like you're breakin a sweat
Have class, spend cash, like life is a bet
Show them east coast boys how the south can grind
Get neck deep funky in the granite and grime
