[Chorus]
I know times get hard but it's gon' pay off, it's gon' pay off
Grinding every day, can't take no days off, no days off
Ridin' 'round the city in a brand new coupe
I got a brand new coupe
Ridin' 'round the city with some brand new jewels
I got a bad bitch too

[Verse 1]
Run the money up, can't take no days off
Bitch I'm my own boss, I can't get laid off
Try me, them youngins will take your face off
Try me, them youngins will take your face off
Grindin' every day, I had to get it, had to work with what I had
I went and ran me up a bag
I got these pussy niggas mad
But I ain't doin' shit
Two door coupe, yeah the fast one
Hopped out in the brand new latest fashion
I know they can't stand that lil rich bastard
I'm gon' show my ass, I never had shit
I think I'm a junkie, I need rehab, I'm addicted to the lean
I went and get it with my team
Twenty-thousand on some rings
I bought my bitch a new Celine

[Chorus]
I know times get hard but it's gon' pay off, it's gon' pay off
Grinding every day, can't take no days off, no days off
Ridin' 'round the city in a brand new coupe
I got a brand new coupe
Ridin' 'round the city with some brand new jewels
I got a bad bitch too

[Verse 2]
Savage for the money, goin' hard for my kid
Sometimes I had nightmares 'bout the shit that we did
I come from the jungle, you can't live where I lived
Police they was on me, glad I hid where I hid
Can't sell dope forever, get the money and quit
Then go get the money, turn the money legit
Two four-fives, that's a hard nine
Stayed down for the pay out, now it's my time
I got out of prison at the perfect time
Got out, I was fucked up, bid gave me a dime
Now I got the money, kickin' shit in the sky
Now I got the money, kickin' shit in the sky

[Chorus]
I know times get hard but it's gon' pay off, it's gon' pay off
Grinding every day, can't take no days off, no days off
Ridin' 'round the city in a brand new coupe
I got a brand new coupe
Ridin' 'round the city with some brand new jewels
I got a bad bitch too

Dominique Armani Jones (born December 3, 1994) better known by his stage name Lil Baby, has established himself as a global force from the Atlanta hip-hop scene. From growing up with fellow Atlanta rapper, Young Thug to many arrests and struggles with poverty, Baby has experienced tremendous grown since starting to rap in 2017.

Raised by his single mother, Baby was born into poverty with his two sisters and one brother. He lived off of food stamps and government assistance. In January 2012, he was arrested and charged with burglary. Later that year in August, he attempted to drop out of tenth grade but once again was arrested for possession of dangerous drugs. Two more marijuana possessions and one more theft charge put him in jail for two years. It was during his time in jail when Quality Control Music’s Pee and Coach K encouraged Baby to pursue a career in rapping.

He released his first mixtape on April 14, 2017, with Perfect Timing. The project features fellow Atlanta rappers, Lil Yachty, frequent collaborator Gunna, and childhood friend, Young Thug. Baby immediately rose to fame and attracted many listeners. This led him to drop two more mixtapes, Harder Than Hard and Too Hard, in the same year.
