STRUGLE

I came from the struggle, I came from the pain,

Where hunger was normal, just part of the game,

They counted me out, but I broke through the chains,

Now my name in the mix like a verse in the flame.

Never needed no favors, I got it alone,

Kept my back to the wall, kept my mind in the zone,

I been dodgin’ the snakes, see the fakes in the tone,

Now they all show me love, but the love overblown.

I remember them nights when the fridge had a drought,

Had to flip me a dream, had to figure it out,

Now my wrist got a glow like the lights in the south,

And my flow like a wave, it could drown any doubt.

They ain't built for the grind, they just flex for the ‘Gram,

I was stuck in the mud, had to stretch every gram,

Now I sit at the table, no need for a scam,

Put my life in these verses, no cap in the jam.

I'm the one they ain't see comin’,

Now my pockets got blue hundreds,

Now my name in they discussions,

And my life is movin’ sudden.

Told my mama I'ma make it, I was patient with the game,

Now these labels talkin’ numbers, tryna tie me to a chain,

I ain't movin’ like these rappers, I ain't switchin’ for the fame,

Had to battle all my demons just to elevate my name.

They gon' love you when you up, they gon' hate you when you not,

They be lurkin’ in the shadows, they be plottin’ on ya spot,

But my focus on the vision, I ain't never gon’ stop,

I been stackin’ all my wins, now I'm risin’ to the top.

Took my Ls like a lesson, turned the pain into blessings,

Turned my stress into pressure, now I'm built for the pressure,

I ain't here for the extras, only moves that’ll measure,

I been cuttin’ off the fake, now my circle look better.

If you talkin’ money, then we talkin’ the same,

I don't do it for the clout, I don’t do it for fame,

I been runnin’ up these racks, had to switch up the lane,

Now I’m countin’ up my blessings, they ain't feelin’ my pain.

I remember them days when they laughed at my dream,

Now my numbers goin’ up like the stocks on the screen,

I was hungry, I was starvin’, now I'm feastin’ with the team,

Now they all up in my DMs, tryna act like we was clean.

I been focused on the paper, I been focused on my grind,

I ain't never wastin’ seconds, I got money on my mind,

I ain't worried ‘bout opinions, I been stayin’ on my time,

If it ain't about the business, then I leave it all behind.

I was built for the struggle, I was made for the fight,

I been workin’ every day, I been grindin’ every night,

Now my future lookin’ brighter, I ain't worried ‘bout the hype,

Put my heart up in these lyrics, every bar is my life.
