Grind Lyrics

[Intro]
Don't let the bastards grind you down

[Chorus]
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down

[Verse 1]
Up down, turn around, give a little more
Inside, outside, knocking on my door
I don't need no preacher man telling me what to do
All I want is to live my life, the rest is up to you

[Chorus]
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down

[Verse 2]
Primetime, my time, take it on the run
Place your bets, get set, have yourself some fun
Look into my crystal ball, I'll tell you what's in store
Another rich man getting fat, taking from the poor

[Chorus]
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Come on down, hang around, feel like number one
Pump and grind, stand in line, the show has just begun
Don't be fooled by what you see, nothing's ever free
Everyone must pay the price, they're just like you and me

[Chorus]
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
Don't let them ever grind you down
Get on top, keep it up
But don't let the bastards grind you down, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
