Struggle

(الألبوم: ELO (Everybody Lives On) - 2016)

Yeah, uh
It used to be like that, haha
I remember that, dawg, I can talk about it
Yeah

I'm familiar with the struggle (I'm familiar)
My mother's my father (True story)
I'm familiar with the struggle (What?)
No lights, cold water (Yeah)
I ain't never had nothing (Shit)
That's what got me cold-hearted (That's what got me like this)
I'm familiar with the struggle (Yeah)
That's what made me go harder (Topless)
That's what made me go harder (No way)
That's what made me go harder (Give it)
I done witnessed plenty nights (What?)
No lights, cold water (For real)
That's what made me go harder (No way)
That's what made me go harder (Sunny)
I remember, I remember (I remember)
That was just last Winter (Last year)

A nigga had to go and get it (Go and get it)
Selling dope, breaking bitches (What else?)
Got sick of hoping and the wishing (I did)
Had to catch a nigga slipping (Got 'em)
Timmy couldn't do nothing with me (No)
Daddy brought us, I don't work pimping (I don't work)
She tell me he moved out to grandma house (Then what?)
I couldn't do it, man, I went missing (I couldn't do it)
House for house, staying with different bitches (Woo)
Ask Tabo, he was right with me (Ayy, ask him)
See, I know about the struggle (I do)
Still a meter, now we got lights in this motherfucker (Voila)
That's what motivate the hustle (It did)
Thank God I made it out the struggle (Amen)
'Cause I remember, I remember
One Thanksgiving, we ain't have dinner (I remember that)
I remember, I remember I couldn't get the Js
Now, there go my Timbo's (Ayy, I remember that)
Wigging out, flipping out, hoes in the wall tripping out (I was tripping it)
I remember, I remember me having dreams
Of balling on hard wood (Whoopin')
Then reality hit a nigga (What?)
I was just sleeping on hard wood (Damn)

I'm familiar with the struggle (I'm familiar)
My mother's my father (True story)
I'm familiar with the struggle (What?)
No lights, cold water (Yeah)
I ain't never had nothing (Shit)
That's what got me cold-hearted (That's what got me like this)
I'm familiar with the struggle (Yeah)
That's what made me go harder (Topless)
That's what made me go harder (No way)
That's what made me go harder (Give it)
I done witnessed plenty nights (What?)
No lights, cold water (For real)
That's what made me go harder (No way)
That's what made me go harder (Sunny)
I remember, I remember (I remember)
That was just last Winter (Last year)

You ain't never got Reepo (No)
You ain't never pulled the kick door (Nah)
You ain't never had to wait to the fit
To pay your rent, 'cause your money low (On bitch-ass niggas)
And when the field came around, still ain't have it (Then what happened?)
Now they putting you out, that's trash (Crazy, damn)
Now it's a house full of madness (Woo)
Mama crying, got her head down (Hol' up)
Guess I gotta be the man now (Deafed up)
Ain't no sense of me crying (No)
I gotta get down and grind (Get it)
I called the baby Lil' 9
My friend and them thought I was out of my mind (Thought I was losing it)
I had to take off some action (I did)
I had to get it and stack it (I got it)
That was way before the rapping (Way back)
Got a bomb, unwrap it (Woo)
Unravelling the plastic (Now what?)
Now I'm on the block trapping (Hey)
First charge was a dope charge (Yeah)
Caught another charge tryna steal a car (Hahaha)
Ain't ashamed of where I come from (No)
Put my life in each and every bar (Real talk)

I'm familiar with the struggle (I'm familiar)
My mother's my father (True story)
I'm familiar with the struggle (What?)
No lights, cold water (Yeah)
I ain't never had nothing (Shit)
That's what got me cold-hearted (That's what got me like this)
I'm familiar with the struggle (Yeah)
That's what made me go harder (Topless)
That's what made me go harder (No way)
That's what made me go harder (Give it)
I done witnessed plenty nights (What?)
No lights, cold water (For real)
That's what made me go harder (No way)
That's what made me go harder (Sunny)
I remember, I remember (I remember)
That was just last Winter (Last year)
