about

This track is a perfect reminder that you should be doing something you love, if not only for your sanity, but to become king/queen of your world!

To be able to succeed at something, you have to be passionate about it; you have to love it; and you have to embrace it with all its challenges, otherwise you will most likely burnout and go crazy.

This sounds so easy in theory, but when it actually comes to our daily actions, this can be far more difficult than we think. This is why we have monthly online discussions (known as 'The Raw Truth' ) to talk about these challenges and the steps we can take to overcome them.

Go over to Facebook or Instagram and have a look at our weekly highlights post where we put up a little nugget from our previous Raw Truth episode. This is a great place to join in the conversation and help others, and ourselves, stay on the Warpath!

lyrics

Listen up

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 queen of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
You gotta 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 queen of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND

They swallowed their daggers by turning their tricks
They tore my ambition apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
They talk verbal insecticide

They swallowed their daggers by turning their tricks
They tore my ambition apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
They 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 queen of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND

I said SLAVE TO THE GRIND
SLAVE TO THE GRIND
SLAVE TO THE GRIND
