The Grind.

NOVA

Like the beginning of "Mean Streets" (oh)
Like the beginning of "Mean Streets"
Like the beginning of "Mean Streets"
I'm prolific, so gifted
I'm the type that's gon' go get it, no kidding
Breaking down a Swisher in front of yo' building
Sitting on the steps feeling no feelings
Last night, it was cold killing
You gotta keep the devil in his hole, nigga
But you know how it go, nigga
I'm front line every time it's on, nigga
Hunnit proof flow, run and shoot pro
458 drop, playing Bullet Proof Soul
Every few shows I just buy some new gold
Circle got smaller, everybody can't go
Downtown diamond district, jewelers like
"Yo, Hussle holler at me, I got Cubans on the low"
Flew to Cancun, smoking Cubans on the boat
And docked at Tulum just to smoke
Look, listening to music at the Mayan Ruins
True devotion on the bluest ocean, cruising
My cultural influence even rival Lucien
I'm integrated vertically, y'all niggas blew it
They tell me, "Hussle dumb it down, you might confuse 'em"
This ain't that weirdo rap y'all motherfuckers used to.

As I continued walking down the crowd went crazy. Red lights filled the audience and Dee lifted the ropes to let me onto the ring.

I made eye contact with Duke and we continued staring each other down before the reg stepped in between us.

"Corners!"

I scoffed before turning back at Dee and he removed my hood and took my robe off of my arms. I jumped up and down to get a feel of my adrenaline before shaking my head

"Let me ask you something ?" Dee said

"How bad you want it ?"

I looked at him before shaking my head

"I want it more then he do." I replied

"Prove it."

"Let's go son." My paps clapped and I looked over at him and Zae before walking over.

I pointed my glove out to him before waving Zae over.

She reached up on her toes to peck my lips and she touched gloves with me before smiling

"Be careful please." She told me before walking over to her seat

The announcer got over the speaker before speaking on the event and sponsor ships before he got intro introducing us.

"Listen, I want you to go out there and show the fuck out, fuck the press, fuck the media, it's you and him out there ight ?" Dee said and I nodded before we heard the bell

"Touch gloves." I dapped Dee up before walking to the center. We stood straight as we stared each other down with a straight face

"Gloves now!"

finally I raised my glove and he touched it before smirking and shaking his head.

We both went into our corners and the crow grew even crazier.

"Tune em out." Dee said

Once the bell rang everything except for the sounds of us scuffling went silent as we began circling each other.

Duke threw the first two punches but I dodged them both as we continued circling. He tried waiting for my go, but one I didn't he sent another blow and I dodged it again.

Once I noticed him going for another one I ducked left before swinging right, which connected with his jaw. I sent the same blow again before ducking from his left and swinging left.
