It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, you don’t know what I seen

It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, you don’t know what I seen Tryna make my mama proud, I got blood on my jeans If I die before I shine, put my heart on the screen I gave my all up in this fight, even when nothin’ was clean It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, they don’t see how I’m bleedin’ Everything I lost in life is the reason I’m breathin’ If they take me from this earth, swear I died while I’m dreamin’ ‘Cause I fought for every chance, every shot I believed in (Verse 1) They ain’t never see them nights I was starvin’ in the dark Tryna hustle in the rain, swear I gave it all my heart Watch my cousin catch a case, now he livin’ behind bars But he told me chase the bag, be a legend, leave a mark I ain’t never had no peace, every moment I pray Every time I close my eyes, feel like time run away I been standin’ on that business, gotta keep my head straight Even when I feel alone and I’m battlin’ all the hate Pour the pain up in my cup, hope it numb what I feel Lot of snakes up on my block, tryna test if I’m real I keep goin’ through the worst but I climb every hill ‘Cause I promised I would make it, and I’m chasin’ that mill (Pre-Hook) They say pain gon’ make you stronger But I been hurtin’ too long Pressure buildin’ on my shoulders Tryna right all my wrongs (Hook) It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, you don’t know what I seen Tryna make my mama proud, I got blood on my jeans If I die before I shine, put my heart on the screen I gave my all up in this fight, even when nothin’ was clean It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, they don’t see how I’m bleedin’ Everything I lost in life is the reason I’m breathin’ If they take me from this earth, swear I died while I’m dreamin’ ‘Cause I fought for every chance, every shot I believed in (Verse 2 — more aggressive flow) I done took so many L’s, I ain’t tryna lose more They put dirt on my name, but I rose from the floor Say I’m cold-hearted now, I been hurt to the core Ain’t no love in these streets, only pain at the door I got brothers in the grave, I got brothers doin’ time Tell me how the hell I’m s’posed to keep peace on my mind I been duckin’ all these demons that be tryin’ to see me blind Still I push through every battle, ain’t no fear in my grind I put trust in the wrong people, now I move on my own I been broken too deep, that’s why my heart turn to stone This a war with myself, I been fightin’ alone But I stand on all ten, until my legacy known (Pre-Hook) They say pain gon’ make you stronger But it been makin’ me cold Tryna carry all this trauma But I got too much I hold (Hook) It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, you don’t know what I seen Tryna make my mama proud, I got blood on my jeans If I die before I shine, put my heart on the screen I gave my all up in this fight, even when nothin’ was clean It’s a strugglin’ lifestyle, they don’t see how I’m bleedin’ Everything I lost in life is the reason I’m breathin’ If they take me from this earth, swear I died while I’m dreamin’ ‘Cause I fought for every chance, every shot I believed in (Bridge — emotional melody) Promise I’ma make it out Even through my darkest doubts I been hurt but I ain’t bow Tell my haters watch me now I know God gon’ heal this pain Storms don’t last, look past the rain Even if my luck don’t change I’ll die tryna make my name (Outro — spoken + soft singing) This that pain you can’t hide… Every tear got a story… We gon’ rise through the struggle… ‘Til the struggle don’t own us no more… Strugglin’ lifestyle… Ohhh, ohhh…
