Name: Grinnin'
Duration: P00H02M27S
Description: Grinnin' was cut from DETOX because I couldn't figure out how to get the Son House sample cleared, and I'm too broke to get sued. I can't put it on the album since I get paid from streaming services and I don't have permission to sell this, so here it is for FREE 99.

lyrics

Don’t ya mind people grinnin' in yo face
Don’t ya mind people grinnin' in yo face
Bear this in mind a true friend is hard to find
Don’t mind people grinnin’ in yo face
Don’t ya mind people grinnin' in yo face

Ain’t got the energy to be your enemy
Haters are welcome to eat at the feast
Proly a friend to me
know how to get to me
Can’t be betrayed unless they on your team
All the discernment won’t help you a thing
It be the ones that you never would think
That’s why my table is large
and I leave it to God
and I just keep on holdin my peace
I been a Judas so deep in my shame
I been a Peter denying the gang
I been forgiven that’s why I keep lovin
‘Cause I believe Cain is still Able to change
Smilin and laughing and grin in my face
Spread your deception and piss on my name
I am not trippin I’m drippin in grace
If you is dippin please take you a plate

Bear this in mind
A true friend is hard to find
Don’t mind people grinnin' in yo face
Don’t ya mind people grinnin' in yo face

I will confess it I used to be jealous
of one of my fellas until I discovered
that very same fella was jealous of me
I was like brethren how could it be
You have achieved the American dream
Your wife and children are beautiful
business is boomin and bought you a crib by the beach
He was like homie that's crazy to me
I am so jealous of everything
that you be doing you writing your poems
and making your music and travelling free
Look at this foolishness We are a shame
Envious hatin but grin in you face
We could be grateful instead of complain
congratulatin' instead of competin'
and frontin and phony and showin our fangs

Don’t ya mind people grinnin' in yo face
Don’t ya mind people grinnin' in yo face
Bear this in mind a true friend is hard to find
Don’t mind people grinnin’ in yo face
Don’t ya mind people grinnin in yo face
