Struggle

(album: Good Grades, Bad Habits - 2015)

Look, do you really wanna fuck with a nigga like me?
Chain icey, no spikily
Just might be the best MC coming out the CB
Sip lean out my cup feeling sleepy
Lil niggas telling me they wanna be me
I'm 16 living life like I'm 23 with the OG's in the cut sipping Hennessey
And I'm just a lil nigga with the old heads tryna make my bread thicker
Started praying even though I was a born sinner
Working hard everyday like I'm born to be a winner
I need time, writing lines for the fiends like I serve dimes
Octomus in is prime, got the right drive
You want pennies? I'ma snatch fives, take yours then I take mines
Swear I'm never in the right mindset, is it my time yet?
God taking too long, I ain't shine bright yet
Drop a bomb on the beat, no bomb threats
Spent nights looking back, I don't have no regrets
I'm a young nigga, earn my respect
When you see me better view me as a vet
Free my niggas out the cell, we up next
Rest in piece to gunna gunna, that's my flesh, gang
Chill with gorillas, but mob with them killers that snatching yo chain
Shit ain't been the same since niggas got change now niggas just bang
My brothers, my brothers, no bitch in between, I'll die for my blood
I say "fuck what I was" cause now I'm that nigga who rising above

Chambersburg Pennsylvania, what I'm repping
That's that 717, all my niggas we some legends, yeah
From the dirt and now we get it off the muscle
All my niggas gotta hustle just to make it out the struggle, yeah
Chambersburg Pennsylvania, what I'm repping
That's that 717, all my niggas we some legends, yeah
From the dirt and now we get it off the muscle
All my niggas gotta hustle just to make it out the struggle, yeah

Say fuck what I was, I'm stuck in my ways of being a thug
Nobody showed love, my niggas sold drugs
I knew all the plugs, their shooters wear gloves
I walk to the gate, hate on my face
Life was a race and I'm down for the chase
Still getting faded and snatching this cake
He passed away now I see rainy days
My uncle in jail, my soul full of anger
My circle stay small, I can't fuck with you strangers
Always been ready providing them bangers
I left the old me hanging up on the hanger
This life is a bitch, I'm fucking her good
I bought a new chain just to say that I could
Smoked my first blunt in the back of the woods
Pop open the hood then back to the hood, I'm
I'm the nigga with the gold chain getting brain from a bad bitch, you believe that?
Used to be a broke boy making no noise now I'm walking in the store screaming "That I need that"
Used to see all the niggas with the 45's giving high fives to the niggas on the come up
Niggas, got thrown in the dump truck
Cops run up and they pulling out handcuffs
It's just the life that we live
Hol up, God can you forgive me, for the shit that I did?
I realized it was a trip
Shit, but that's just how it is, uh
When you tryna make it big, uh
And I never liked cops, nah
I just can't fuck with pigs
