My heart warms for this art form
It's pastoral part sparked up an arsenal
The other half's so harsh when it harms you
Punch to your mouth like you're out on a bar crawl
YEAH
Superstars have it hard true
Everyman don't get cinema views
Not much check through or even glance tunes
I guess I'm contactless when they ask you
DAMN
So many rappers like me
What's my U.S.P?
I say UFC
Coz I've battle self
N Ls got plenty
They're speaking French now
So oh c'est la vie
Wrong side of twenty
Thought I'd have it altogether
Younger me still wondering when things will get better
Packing on the pressure
Like my packet said the best be-fore
A certain date
Or your potential goes to waste
Nah brudda I ain't got the luxury of hate
I got the "Are you still doing music?" Kinda mates
No this ain't faze
I may never break
If I'm calling it a day
Then my sanity may fade
I'm struggle rapper
HUH
YEAH
Struggle happens but the passion makes for better chapters
HUH
YEAH
YEAH
I guess I really am a struggle rapper
DAMN
MAN
Struggle happens
But the passion makes for better chapters
Yeah it really makes for better chapters
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
Yo
Yo
I'm coming from a lineage of Kings
The irony for me is how is juggling a thing?
While humbling is synced
Can I ever stop n think
Mental health is really wealth
I am dancing on the brink?
Coming from a place where the traumas normal peak
Is to where you need assistance
But you're made to feel weak
I'm a strong IC3
No counselling for me
Under no circumstance am I talking to police
Black men don't cheat but your girl I might teef, see
Honestly I ain't 2d
I'm too deep
Raising a daughter
From Princess into a Queen
Tryna keep the magic alive with her Mumsy,
Late night tryna get these verses done
Sunrise then I gotta hit that nursery run
N surprise more fees eat my income
Educations key keep that latch up
I could never condemn it like it's ketchup
But the sauce from home call that pack lunch
If I'm coming out the shower
Or my scarfs tucked
Is the only time you'll hear that I'm all rapped up
I'm struggle rapper
HUH
YEAH
Struggle happens but the passion makes for better chapters
HUH
YEAH
YEAH
I guess I really am a struggle rapper
DAMN
MAN
Struggle happens
But the passion makes for better chapters
Yeah it really makes for better chapters
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
So real man I can't pretend
Uh huh
Uh huh
Right now I'm tryna pay the rent
Few years mortgage and Benz
I'm a struggle rapper
(Coming in now?)
(Ite)
(Yer)
Yeah
Here lays a man who had a lot of heart
Everything he started got fully torn apart
Nice wid it, you already know he finished last
Unarranged overdraft he was in it every month
Celebrated peers
They ain't celebrating him
Human being fully now he's disappeared
Now you're like who is he?
At a wake nine night followed by a eulogy
