Grindin'

Clipse (Pusha T)

Legendary, you should see the way I pillage In the village, I'm a god, I'm a king, I'm a killa In the mirror, I can see the heart of a winner I'm the sinner that was born with the spirit of a dealer

Rhyme Scheme

Compound internal rhyme scheme shifting from /ɪlɪdʒ/ to /ɪlər/.

Producer Notes

Pusha T demonstrates how to bridge two rhyme sounds using assonance. He starts with a hard /ɪlɪdʒ/ sound (pillage/village), then seamlessly pivots to the softer, slurred /ɪlər/ sound (killa/mirror/winner). The genius lies in the parallelism of lines 3 and 4: he places 'Winner' and 'Dealer' in the exact same rhythmic position.
