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 |
Then trouble holds me |
And nothing else is close to me |
More than pain unfortunately |
Like a self fulfilling prophecy, I’m suppose to be |
(Hook X2) |
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 should be chillin' on beaches |
Instead my bone freezes |
Ducking Glocks and I walks |
Sort of 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 |
Then at thug rappers I remain very little intrigued |
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 |
(Hook X2) |
Aight aight, more to the truth |
No writing, just recording in 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 |
Dared 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 into 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 |
(Hook X2) |
(Outro) |
Yeah… Yeah…The pain in my song is crazy |
The pain in my song is crazy |
Strugglin', still strugglin' |
