I Grind

I grind everyday like it's going to be my last day on earth 
I grind like  I'm going to be as broke as I was a few months ago
I grind for my future that won't be handed to me by anyone just because I want it
I grind like the world is against me
I grind because my ancestors fought for me to be able to be all that I deserve to be
I grind because my family believes in me even though this society stamps me as a criminal & I've never even been to prison
I grind for my future wife and kids so they can be proud of me and love me the way I've always wanted 
I grind for the man I use to be; because despite losing what he felt was everything, he would change everything around him
I grind because I can't afford not to be successful 
I grind because life won't give me handouts and feel sorry for me because my father was never there for me, I'm my OWN MAN
I grind because I will leave the kind of legacy that will shape and change the way this world will be forever
I grind because I can't afford to stop
I grind because my billions of dollars I've earned will give opportunities to Black Children that this society hates so much
I grind because I love myself enough to believe in me even no one else does
I grind because I want to be successful more then anything else
I grind because I see myself sitting at the head of my multi-billion dollar companies building futures for generations to come
I grind because GOD has ordained me to be a leader even when I use to not want to be one
I grind because I can't slow down my momentum because the road to success is a long one, and I can't afford to stop even if I'm tired
I grind because there were people that made me feel like I could never be the man I finally am
I grind because I love myself enough to love me even if the woman I was in love with left me
I grind because you can't seek love from everyone else if you can't fully love yourself first
I grind because I can't be everything to everyone else and be nothing to myself 
I grind because even though this society doesn't believe in me my success will speak for itself 
I grind to escape from being fine with complacency
I grind because my mind is my greatest weapon and standing in the midst of any adversity I will conquer it
I grind because one day when I'm an old man; sitting on my terrace looking out to the ocean that I own, sitting and watching my grandchildren play and my wife right beside me, I'll remember all what I faced to get what I have. To leave the legacy I always knew I would leave. And when my children bury me after living a VERY LONG LIFE; I would want them to remember that despite all I have, I was able to leave them all I had, because I grind....
