Grizzly by Gabino Grhymes

"Grizzly" is my anthem about relentless hustle and unbreakable determination. Inspired by my cousin Ray, whose nickname is Grizzly, go follow him ==> https://www.instagram.com/ray_ray_the_grizzly80/

He is a competitive powerlifter who has really put himself on an incredible trajectory over the past few years. You can say this project was long overdue. This track is also a reflection of my life, my grind, and the journey I've been on. While you will hear references to lifting throughout, these can also be interpreted for any type of competition that you are doing. Even if it's just with yourself every day to be and do better than yesterday.

The hook is all about the necessity of hard work—'Boy, I gotta work' is a mantra that drives me every day. It's about starting from nothing and proving to the world and to myself that I can achieve greatness through sheer will and effort.

In the first verse, I wanted to capture the essence of both of our journey's. I've been prepping and grinding non-stop, visualizing success even in my sleep. Climbing Everest is a metaphor for the challenges I face, and every step is a testament to my resilience. It's about battling past demons, addictions, and ghosts and pushing forward with a relentless spirit. When I say 'Grizzly Boy back to work,' I mean it—we're both always ready to put in the work, no matter what.

The second verse is a continuation of that message, but with a focus on the grind versus the quick fame. It's about the consistent effort—the blood, sweat, and tears that go into making dreams a reality. The imagery of lifting thousands and pushing beyond limits is real—it's about the strength we find in ourselves and each other. This is more than just a song; it's a movement, a testament to what hard work and dedication can achieve.

"Grizzly" is a high-energy track meant to motivate and inspire. It's a declaration of my work ethic and my commitment to success. This is the soundtrack for anyone who knows the value of hard work and is ready to put in the effort to make their dreams come true.

Thank you for listening, and consider adding more of my catalog to your library and playlists! 🙏🏽

Lyrics

Hook:

Boy I gotta work
On my Grizzly from the first
I’m the truest watch me prove it
Boy I do this till it hurts

Boy I gotta work (yeah)
Said I gotta work (yeah)
You don’t got this in your soulllll yet
You better search

Yeah Yeah Yeah
WORK
SAID I GOTTA WORK
Grizzly BOY back to work
Man I got it from the dirt
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Work
Boy I gotta work
You don’t got this in your soulllll yet
You better search
Yeahhhhh (background)
Grizzly boy back to work

Verse 1:

I’ve been preppin all week
I could see it in my sleep
Out here steppin as a legend
See These roads aint for the weak

If you saw it how I see it
You would see an Everest Peak
That’s the goal for me to climb
Every time I go compete

And it’s never Out of reach
I don’t need some dumb speech
I got me and thats enough
Trust ya boys a fuckin beast

Boy I Sow it till it reaps
You better dig deep
Cause if you don’t
The past ghosts are out to fuckin eat

What was then isnt now
You can see I made a vow
It’s gonna take everything
You can hear them plates pound

We built it from the ground
Want a monster hear the sound
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Want a monster heres the sound
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ima roll into the front
I’m the first to show up
And the last to take my cuts
Oppenheimer
Blowin up
You ain’t here to work (nah)
Blood sweat and tears a must
If you plan to overcome

Verse 2:

You think I want the lime light
You’re reaching for a sound byte
We’re reaching teachin crowds
That work is how to shine bright

I’ve shed pounds
And lift thousands
Sit down when we round
The beat nows a heat count
Oh how Cals can be silent

vibin in this bitch
I’m the type to see and lift
Got my team and we
Don’t stop until we see over the cliff

This a movement that is provin
To be rawkus see we rockin
When the roll is in a pinch
Now we locked in
Try to stop us if you quick

And we caught ya
Now I’m boppin with the drop

Tell me somethin I don’t know
I’m workin till my soul pops
I don’t stop

Those minutes mean nothin on the clock
Grand entrance
Grand closing
I’m a fold em in a box

Tell them all to go to church
You want it now?
We want it worst
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
on our shield
And it works

I don’t play
This is me on my grizzly
See I’m winning till the hearse
Drops
Come and visit
Triple digits
Out here Doing work!
