Against the Grain may refer to:
Far from the ridges and rivers we crossed
So in our wandering we're lost
Far from the shores, the mountains and hills
Nothing but dust moving still
Try to forget the leaves and the shade
Focus instead on the time we made
Now the horizon is nothing but sand
So we have reached the deserted land
But the grain is so fine
In your teeth in your time
But the grain is precise
In your veins, in your eyes
Nought but the sand and the night-fallen stars
Only the cold desert moon
Sound of your voice is so shocking and strange
Suddenly so out of tune
Oh how the sound of our hearts beating down
The gusting and howling will drown
There is no shade but the shadow of you
Lost in the dust of the dunes
But the grain is so fine
In your teeth in your time
But the grain is so nice
In the veins of your eyes
But the grain in the breeze
Is like fire in the trees
But the grain is precise
Benisour... Akon...
Convict
So soft and slow
Never knew a girl could be so Godamn cold
I know, the way she move
Got me spinning my dough, and yo
If you seen what I had seen on that pole, just know
That I was wrong for falling in love
I was wrong for falling in love
(They always say don't love a hoe)
I was wrong for falling in love
(don't do it yo)
I was wrong for falling in love
(they always say don't love a hoe, but I just went against the grain)
It was a feeling I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singing in my face like Diddy, daddy, doo da dey
I don't want it to ever go away
It went around me every day
Singing in my face like diddy daddy do da dey
[Verse 1: Benisour]
Silly me, so foolish
Voice in my head sayin "man don't do it"
But she stood 6 feet in them heels
Face like a china dog, with a body to kill
Know it was about cash, wish it was real
I smile, her walk, plus I good the kitty feel
We were takin trips every other week
Grenade epimony, gifts from Tiffany
Said she was sick of me, said that we need space
Come to find out she found another dude with more cake
From the beginning I knew I made a mistake...
I was wrong for falling in love,
I was wrong for falling in love,
(they always say don't love a hoe)
I was wrong for falling in love,
... (don't do it yo)
I was wrong for falling in love,
(they always say don't love a hoe, but I just went against the grain).
It was a feeling I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singing in my face like diddy daddy do da dey
I don't want it to ever go away
It went around me every day
Singing in my face, like diddy daddy do da dey
[Verse 2: Benisour]
Yeaa...
I'm here feeling like me ya'll
So sick
Thought this was the chick I could spend my life with
Settle down, do what grown folk do
In my eyes she was the one I would give my last name to
Was a fool thinking I could ever change her
Caking every day, to totally upgrade her
Louis V this, Erb mace that, Christian Ascota, Dolce Gabona
May say I'm crazy but I wish I had her with me
And I would take her back if she said please forgive me
But in her eyes I was just another guy...
I was wrong for falling in love,
I was wrong for falling in love,
(they always say don't love a hoe)
I was wrong for falling in love
(Don't do it yo)
I was wrong for falling in love
(They always say don't love a hoe, but I just went against the grain)
It was a feeling I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singing in my face like diddy daddy do da dey
I don't want it to ever go away
It went around me every day
Do you wanna see it?
Do you wanna see it?
I'm gonna do it for ya
I'm gonna do it for ya
I'm gonna do it for ya
I'm gonna do it for ya
New Ghostface!
Yo deep in the trenches
Wig, young black green beret
Chrome laser guns blazing at spades
Wallabies, cherry noose, kool-aid
10 niggas call it Tai-Chi
Black blades, one hundred dollar seats
Hold up, we at the opera
Queen Elizabeth rub on my leg
Had ketchup on her dress from a whopper
Chunky ass necklace
Must be her birthstone
John Paul cop the biggest stones outta Rome
Told ya eyes up on her prince
Fucking with Diana
Two rows across, Dirty giving hickeys to Vianna White
Fingering Pamela Lee
We on the balcony
Dare one of ya'll to Malcolm X me
Somebody might catch a Kennedy
Yo let me adjust my lens
Through these binoculars
I paid 5 g's sliding off like Kid Vitamin
Viking
Patriot of Broad Street
Bet you think I'm laying like a hyphen
Tony Starks make the narc's dogs bark
With the Benz parked
Up against the boulevard
Starks had the bone sparked
One cop tapped the window glass
Like a cymbal crash,
"What the fuck son! You trying to break glass?"
He flashed his badge,
"License and registrations"
At that moment
His fat partner started chasin'
Chicken heads they was racing wit' they hearts pacin'
For snatching gold
Trying' to dip into the god's basement
Our location
Lead steel shed spread
Cracked shorty head
Left sweetie there for dead
Ghetto poodles
Fingers sticky from cheese doodles
Starving' for a 50 cent bag of Oodles and Noodles
Neighborhood sick wit' it
Clinton 'bout to cut WIC
Maybe one ya'll rich rap niggas need to politic
Reach for the sky
They throw bleach in your eye
Don't teach you why
You be keeping 'em high
Dipped like an Oreo cookie
In cold milk, bold silk
Gold-filled cap, Wu wear hat,
Low tilt
True Islamic
We speak verbal rhyme phonics
Why ya'll trying to change this hip hop to technotronics?
Don't go against the grain (the grain)
Don't go against the grain (the grain)
Don't go against the grain (the grain)
Girl!
Because of you I'm hurting
Within my within my heart
I know it's not right to be flirting
But a relationship has to start
You're the one that I'm clocking
It's time for you to start jocking
Don't want you to see me cry
This is why this is why this is why
I met this girl named Rhonda from way down yonder
Hey yo god don't fuck with her!
I met this girl named Liz she was all in the biz
Hey yo lord don't fuck with her!
I rocked a hoe named Tina from the heart of Medina
Hey yo kid don't fuck with her!
Yea that girl Kit Kat she got the good poodle cat
