You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I`m still stuck inside this rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I`m just another gear in the assembly line
- oh no
The noose gets tighter
around my throat
But I ain`t at the end of my rope

`Cause I won`t be the one left behind
You can`t be king of the world
If you`re slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can`t be king of the world
If you`re slave to the grind

Get it?

A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain`t even close
There`s no need to waste your prayers on me
You better mark my words `cause I`m history
Yes indeed

You might beg for mercy to get by
But I`d rather tear this thorn from my side






`Cause I won`t be the one left behind
You can`t be king of the world
If you`re slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can`t be king of the world
If you`re slave to the grind

They swallowed thier daggers by turning their trick
They tore my intention apart brick by brick
I`m sick of the jive
Talk verbal insecticide

They swallowed thier daggers by turning their trick
They tore my intention apart brick by brick
I`m sick of the jive
Talk verbal insecticide

Well I won`t be the one left behind
You can`t be king of the world
If you`re slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can`t be king of the world
If you`re slave to the grind

I said slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
