Verse 1:
I'm a reckless heart
I’m a hard case on my own
Never pay no mind to anything I'm told
Pre-Chorus:
I've got no intention
Of ever bending to crawl
I don’t need redemption, not at all
Chorus:
It's a slow grind
It's the same old story line
I'm in a slow grind
You've taken your soul, I'll take mine
Yeah
Verse 2:
Never waste my time cause I ain't got time to waste
Never compromise when I know things will never change
Pre-Chorus:
No commendation
But still the same old song
No mediation for right or wrong
Chorus:
It's a slow grind
It’s the same old story line
I’m in a slow grind
You took yours
It may took so long
To see your true intentions
It took so long
To come around
It took all down
But now it's time to mention
You were wrong, so wrong
Guitar solo:
Chorus:
It’s a slow grind
It's the same old story line
I'm in a slow grind
You've taken your soul, I’ll take mine
Outro:
It's a slow grind
It's the same old story line
I'm in a slow grind
You've taken your soul, I'll take mine
It's a slow grind
It's a slow grind
It's a slow grind
You've taken yours but I'll take mine Last updated:
