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

Can't be king of the world

If you're slave to the grind

Tear down the rat racial slime

Can't be king of the world

If you're slave to the grind.

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

Can't be king of the world

If you're slave to the grind.

They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick

They tore my intentions apart brick by brick

I'm sick of the jive

You talk verbal insecticide.

They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick

They tore my intentions apart brick by brick

I'm sick of the jive

You talk verbal insecticide.

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.

Slave to the grind. [x4]
