The Struggle (feat. Olawale) lyrics

Lyrics

Intro

(Hood with anotha1)
Ayeeyeaaaaaaa the struggle struggle (Oohhhhoooooo)
Ayeeyeaaaaaaa struggle struggle

Chorus

The struggle man it won't hold me
My losses to wins use the trials to mold me
Console me expose all the pain and the glory
I'll be damned if I give up surely just wait
The struggle man it won't hold me
My losses to wins use the trials to mold me
Console me expose all the pain and the glory
I'll be damned if I give up surely just wait
Just wait just wait just wait
My losses to wins use the trials to mold me
Just wait just wait just wait
Console me expose all the pain and the glory
Just wait wait just wait just wait just wait

Verse 1

I grew up poor I won't be poor forever
I keep letting you down I'll get my s**t together
Got thick skin just like that jacket leather
Why do I do wrong when I do know better
From the hand me downs to what I'm wearing now
My parents did their best hated to make em frown
Wanted to elevate was steady breaking down
Straight A student now the class clown
Used to wear a belt but now I'm sagging now
Was always humble now I'm bragging now
Stunt on me who you supposed to be
Look down on me but you too blind to see
That I come from where you come from
My home was never drama free
I used to look up to all the OG's
They used to call me they little homie
Ain't too surprised my mama try to block
Like if I don't know well it won't hurt me
What I can't see it won't affect me
Felt held back wanted to live free
Longed to roam the streets with the other peeps
First the cigarettes then all the cigarillos
Smoke a peace pipe with all the other fellas (struggle struggle)
Didn't know that skipping school would introduce the devil

Chorus

Struggle struggle (Oohhhhoooooo)
Ayeeyeaaaaaaa struggle struggle (Oohhhhoooooo)
The struggle man it won't hold me
My losses to wins use the trials to mold me
Console me expose all the pain and the glory
I'll be damned if I give up surely just wait
The struggle man it won't hold me
My losses to wins use the trials to mold me
Console me expose all the pain and the glory
I'll be damned if I give up surely just wait
Just wait just wait just wait
My losses to wins use the trials to mold me
Just wait just wait just wait
Console me expose all the pain and the glory
Just wait wait just wait just wait just wait

Verse 2

It ain't take too long for me to realize
Smoking doja gonna be a costly habit
We was squadding up riding five deep
Smoking back to back developing a habit
In them back woods like a jack rabbit
Started hitting licks clients coming rapid
Blowing out my meezy started getting thoughts
Had us freestyling made a n***a happy
Me K Dust Big D and G
Just trying to keep our a** out the street
Low key rolling trying to keep it G
But it never work how you plan it
See an ounce soon turn to a P
Then them pills started popping ask G
Purple styrofoam cups in the rain
No other n***a leaning like me
Maan we would all shine and all felt the same
I would hit the lick if you ain't have it man
And in the same vein you would do the same
My n***as kept it real and put me on game
I had they back and they had mine
A couple street wars but nobody dying
Throw them hands up we was bout it bout it
But now these days they just want a body
Pistol play it ain't no coming back
You might get one up on the first round
By the fourth quarter you'll get gunned down
And that's if you dodge getting prison bound
Open your eyes take a look around
We're responsible for all the young ones now

Outro

Struggle struggle
The struggle struggle (Oohhhhoooooo)
Ayeeyeaaaaaaa
We're responsible for all the young ones now (heyeeyeaaaaaaa)
