Strugglin |
I start out, just to vibe out, I ain’t about to bow out, |
I’m more gangsta than you are but I ain’t about the rou' rou'. |
My season will come, it has to, |
Honestly I feel like I’m ten months pregnant or something, I’m passed due. |
Sincerely I’m touchy these days I can’t take nothing, |
I’m tryna treat my record like the law, shit I’m dying to break something, |
And mostly, I’m up and stressin', when other folks sleep. |
Believe me, I know struggle, and struggle knows me. |
My life owes me, like an overdose I’m slowly, |
Drifting in the arms of trouble, than trouble holds me, |
And nothing else is close to me, more than pain unfortunately, |
Like a self fulfilling prophecy, I’m suppose to be: |
Strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in, |
I find myself in the corner huddling, with some angry men, |
And I gotta settle shit again before they gotta kill again. |
I’m strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in. |
I find myself in the corner huddlin', with some angry men, |
and I gotta settle shit again, before they gotta kill again. |
I should be chillin' on beaches, instead my bone freezes, |
Ducking glocks and I walks, well, like Jesus. |
The realest thing for me is since I was a fetus, |
The only break I ever got, was at recess. |
So legitimately, I remain very little relieved, |
And at thug rappers, I remain very little intrigued, |
and can you blame me? |
Look how we lived in the late eighties, |
Throwing rocks at the crazy ladies, and when we’d play these, |
Crazy games, the whole crew had crazy names, we |
even had a cripple we use to call em lazy legs. |
But my faith remains, untouched and unchanged, |
Still in my block you hear more shots than a gun range, |
I’m… |
Strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in, |
I find myself in the corner huddling, with some angry men, |
And I gotta settle shit again before they gotta kill again. |
I’m strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in. |
I find myself in the corner huddlin', with some angry men, |
and I gotta settle shit again, before they gotta kill again. |
Aight aight, more to the truth, no writing, just record me at the booth, |
Forced by the loop and the guitar but I’m the boss of the groove. |
I speak truth my deep roots remain in equal danger, |
The pain on my song is crazy but the sequel is stranger. |
Hey man, I’m from the hardest heartless projects. |
Dear departed I’m now known as a recording artist. |
Spilling what little remains of your memories in the process, |
Bitter a little, but making your names in to a colossus. |
Believe me, I’m thankful my brother’s still with me, |
And ain’t much changed Bobby is still troubling Whitney, |
And Bush is still bombing poor people yo he’s deadly, |
And me I got a little recording |
gig but evidently |
I’m… |
Strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in, |
I find myself in the corner huddling, with some angry men, |
And I gotta settle shit again before they gotta kill again. |
I’m strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in. |
I find myself in the corner huddlin', with some angry men, |
and I gotta settle shit again, before they gotta kill again. |
Strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in, |
I find myself in the corner huddling, with some angry men, |
And I gotta settle shit again before they gotta kill again. |
I’m strugglin', and it’s trouble in, in this circumstance I’m dwelling in. |
I find myself in the corner huddlin', with some angry men, |
and I gotta settle shit again, before they gotta kill again. |
Ya… |
Ya… |
The pain in my song is crazy. |
The pain in my song is crazy. |
Strugglin', still strugglin'. |
