The Struggle (Fallin')

[Intro] Yo This goes out to everybody who's living in the struggle Whether you're in the hood, the suburbs, the city Any of y'all [Verse 1] I've been rapping since 8th grade, that's '06 Back then my lyrics were so dry, I couldn't spit But in the present, people tell me that my flow is sick Something like a dealer, I'm only pushing that dope shit But now the struggle's really blowing me I barely got the money to buy me an Arizona tea Plus I'm not popular with rap, not even locally I vocalize my pain, but these producers barely notice me And I don't make enough money for studio time But even when I do scrape together all the nickels and dimes Engineers are faking so I feel like I'm losing my mind But I don't have the heart to bitch 'em out, I'm too fucking kind I know life ain't meant to be perfect But some of the trials, I really don't see the purpose Sometimes I sit alone and wonder why I deserve it But I just hope that in the future, all the struggling is worth it [Verse 2] The only thing I want is respect But all I'm ever really shown by anyone is neglect Whether it's the producers or the blogs on the 'net Or even friends and my fam, but, hey, what do I expect I'm the nice guy who always seems to offer some help When others are down, when I should really fend for my self And it gets to the point where it's too much to manage Because people take full advantage, and when they're done, they abandon That's why I never put my faith in people I meet I'm not shy, I'm just sick of everybody's deceit And then you got the fucking nerve to wonder why I'm insane Cause all of the pain, it starts to take a toll on my brain Yeah, I came a long way from the start place But now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place I'm sick of being slept on, sick of heart break But I gotta win this battle for my heart's sake [Outro] Gotta win... No matter what your struggle is in life Just know, there's always gonna be a light at the end of the tunnel Keep going towards it no matter what One
