Official lyrics
Chorus:
We out here grinding we working X 4
Tell me how to do it and I do/
Fuelin my ambition like I’m filling up a pool/
Aint my choice but its up to me to choose
Hammered out my goals like I’m working with my tools/
On the same page like da headline news
even jimmy fallon couldn’t shake me out my roots/
best foot forward like we dancing wit a groove/
we gone stay grinding till We all make a move\
Said are you gonna find it , baby my way
Are we gon grind or are we gon play
We gon give it time never gonna wait
Said it either black or white but no grey
Chorus:
We out here grinding we working X 4
We could only win never loose/
Cause the only thing we ever share be da truth
We gon feed the fire till its burnin down the roof
Focus on ya heart cause the feels be the proof
Yeah cause my soul lighting up like a fuse.
Always down to share never “thats our food”
shoulder to the wheel like a nascar
crew
Head in the word baby thats our school
Are you gonna find it baby my way
Are we gon grind or are we gon play
We gon give it time never gonna wait
Said it either black or white but no grey
Chorus:
We out here grinding we working X 4

Oh my gosh! A “cameo” used to be an old fashioned piece of jewelry that my grandma put away in a box. This cameo has so much energy there will be no containment possible. Don’t know what Gladys said, but I see “I Never Thought” in there. Haha. If anyone thought David could do this, it would be Gladys. And I love Bluesky mentioning bossy David. I see we are all chair dancing.

Dayzee, I’m really curious as to how this video is going to play out for David.
David did an edit to his instagram “Sometimes I get a little too into the moment and start bouncing all over the place. ;)”

Slide right past this post if you are tired of my keychain stories. Today I drove up to Boulder City. A Nevada town with no casinos, no slots, no gambling. In an old hotel is a museum about the Boulder/Hoover dam. The lady who sold me my ticket looked at the keychain and said, “Is that your grandson? He is really handsome.”
No, that is David Archuleta.
Oh, he fixed my computer.
He fixed your computer?
Yes. He’s the IT man. He fixes all the computers around here. It doesn’t look much like him though.
This David Archuleta is a singer
Oh yeah! From The Voice! He sure is handsome.

I never have stories like you so please don’t stop them :)) So fun.
Tawna, David is not a techie. I keep wondering why his cameo post from instagram is not posted on his facebook, he has over 3mil followers there! Who knows lol
Jan #bestconcertever “ditto!”
Fen, yes stick around please, your chinese is better than my chinese 🙂
Abrra, You know I’m one of those fans that doesn’t have a problem with David’s faith and the way he goes about it. But I’m with you on JTM, just a little much for me, not wrong or right, just how I feel. Interesting that his first video JTM made with the soundcloud teaser was posted on David’s facebook and taken down within minutes and then JTM’s second video posted to his own facebook was taken down. Interesting stuff but with that being said David’s voice and moves are perfect in that cameo clip IMO 🙂

The kitty is on duty as David travels to China.
Dee’s prayer for his safe travel.
Dear Lord,
Please take care of David.
Watch over him, protect him from all harm.
Cloak him with your love and give him the strength to endure all that is thrown in his path.
Give David the courage and guidance to say no to those who ask for more than he can reasonably give.
Surround David with loving and supportive people who love him unconditionally as we, his devoted Archangels do.
Separate David from those who have agendas other than for his well being.
Give him rest when he feels weary.
Give him stamina to sustain his hectic pace.
Give him assurance when he feels doubt.
Give him joy when he feels sad and never allow David to feel alone or lonely.
Give us the wisdom to always do right by David.
Help us support David so that it’s always in his best interest.
CLOAK DAVID IN YOUR PROTECTIVE ARMS WHILE DOING GOOD AND CHARITABLE WORKS.
Keep David and his voice healthy & strong as he fulfills his Destiny which was written in his Book of Life before he was born.
Though we may be unworthy Lord, we humbly pray. Amen
David, have a good & restful night’s sleep with sweet & happy dreams when you get to your destination. HOPE YOU HAVE A SAFE & ENJOYABLE FLIGHT to wherever you are going.
Thank you for all you do and for who you are. Keep with you all our love, support & prayers always. Contigo siempre! We will be with you always! TAKE CARE!

Thanks for bringing back Dee’s beautiful prayer. We have David’s safety in our thoughts as he travels. Always give a sigh of relief when we hear his plane has landed
Like Jan I love Above the Northern Lights. This is another song that only David brings out the many colors of the lyrics. I have heard others sing it and am always disappointed. A song I have only heard him sing one time, but it was so perfect. And the skaters were a great accompaniment for David’s singing
My second favorite part of the Workin’ video is David’s hands. I could be happy with just the David and his hands parts. Most favorite is David’s voice of course.
