Lyrics Struggle - Mr. Criminal, Mr. Capone-E

Struggle

I’ve seen some hard times in my life
But I kept on going
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
When it gets too rough
You’ve go to fight
And this I’m knowing
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
I’ve seen the hard times
I seen the hood
I seen the money
And I seen the hood
I seen the good things
And the bad things homie
I seen the realest
And I seen some phonies
I seen a rough life
From a childhood memory
Growing up broke
Trying to make some money
It all started from
What’s my name?
And ever since that record
My life started to change
Getting chipped off
It’s hard to be the boss
Starting out small
Trying not to floss
Pissed off from all these fakes
Smiling in my face
Getting stabbed in the back
Not letting me brake
Meditating on a come up
Staying unconditional
Dreams do come true
When you don’t need a miracle
So keep your head up
And reach for the stars
Don’t let no one get you down
You know you we are
I’ve seen some hard times in my life
But I kept on going
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
When it gets too rough
You’ve go to fight
And this I’m knowing
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
Now I struggled in the start
From right there
But when I dropped my first album
It caught many ears
It was the underground CD
That shook the scene
In your local swap meet
I was a little OG
Selling units by the thousands
I was ghetto gold
If you didn’t know me back then
Now you know
And the radio shows
I was most requested
But all my BDS went undetected
Just listen a second
See the struggle I went through
And all the DJs know
About paying dues
It’s all true
About the hardship & success
Before you see a check
You gotta have respect
Prospected in the game
My name remains the same
Ain’t a damn thing change
Just the money & the fame
But beyond all that
It’s the love for the community
Unity with all the people
Chilling with the family
I’ve seen some hard times in my life
But I kept on going
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
When it gets too rough
You’ve go to fight
And this I’m knowing
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
2004 I’m on a worldwide tour
City to city
I see my name up on the billboard
It feels good
But the key is to be humble
Cause the quicker you come up
Is the quicker you crumble
Stumbled in the studio
With the vision of 2
Speaking about the true
And the future for the youth
Making my debut
Somebody gotta step up
Without any struggle
You’ll never come up
As I drive away
Sunset in LA
It’s a good ol day
But it’s time for a change
Looking amazed
As I continue my struggle
Heart of a hustler
Now it’s time to bubble
I’ve seen some hard times in my life
But I kept on going
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
When it gets too rough
You’ve go to fight
And this I’m knowing
You’ve got to struggle
Before you bubble
No sun without no rain
No joy without no pain
