lyrics

Yea this is dedicated to the strugglers and the strivers
All the hustlers and survivors who be on a mission doing what they gotta do to make it thru on my soul

Spend so much time in my mind wondering what the fuck I'm doing wrong
All this built up frustration I get out thru the song
Battling life lately, tryna figure where will this life take me
Stage 2 hypertension hope I get thru the night safely
Ain't tryna see no strokes or heart attacks don't want no part of that
Music I put my heart in that and that's a artifact
I'm almost 40 still tryna piece it together tough as a piece of leather
Tryna wisen with each endeavor
Yet I still feel like, certain shit be working against me
Feeling empty these negative emotions hit me intensely
Miss me, with talks of optimism that shit don't convince me
I'm simply fed up with life and the obstacles it present me
Some shit don't be about nothing although it seem big
Too in tune with my own reality to dream big
Emotions overworked my mental's overloaded
When I can't control it fuck can I do but compose and quote it ha

And this is for the strugglers and the strivers, the hustlers and survivors
Who be on a mission doing what they gotta do
Whether you punching on the clock or you hustling on the block get ya money and stack it cuz all you got is you
This is for the strugglers and the strivers, the hustlers and survivors
Who be on a mission doing what they gotta do
Whether you punching on the clock or you hustling on the block get ya money and stack it cuz all you got is you

Now when you see the next enjoying success salute em cuz ain't no telling what they had to get thru
Shit ain't no need to be a hater keep grinding and get ya weight up cuz sooner or later that can be you
Now when you see the next enjoying success just salute em ain't no telling what they had to get thru
Shit it ain't no need to be no hater keep grinding and get ya weight up cuz sooner or later that can be you

Feel like I'm here for a reason and this music is what I'm meant to do
But shit get expensive when you got these expenses and plus the rent is due
This shit get critical they pay you decimals
When ya music is digital royalty statements looking pitiful
That's why I keep it a hundred when in these interviews
Win or lose I made the choice to step foot up in these shoes
Can't be out here just making any moves
My seeds need a good education ain't tryna send em to any schools
But I can't afford to live in the district with better academics
Shit I'm 9 to 5ing and rapping lyrics
It's real life in every word of the song
Can't help but to feel like I should be further along
Try not to let it kill my confidence, despite the praise and all the compliments
All I see is my lack of accomplishments
Can't take no more mediocre I been done lost it
Who the strong 'posed to call on when our strength been exhausted? Huh

And this is for the strugglers and the strivers, the hustlers and survivors
Who be on a mission doing what they gotta do
Whether you punching on the clock or you hustling on the block get ya money and stack it cuz all you got is you
This is for the strugglers and the strivers, the hustlers and survivors
Who be on a mission doing what they gotta do
Whether you punching on the clock or you hustling on the block get ya money and stack it cuz all you got is you

Now when you see the next enjoying success salute em cuz ain't no telling what they had to get thru
Shit ain't no need to be a hater keep grinding and get ya weight up cuz sooner or later that can be you
Now when you see the next enjoying success just salute em ain't no telling what they had to get thru
Shit it ain't no need to be no hater keep grinding and get ya weight up cuz sooner or later that can be you

Yea for everybody going thru a struggle, THEY struggle
Cuz you know in this life it's always one
Just keep yo muhfucking head up
Always put yo best foot forward
Stay emotionally strong and mentally strong
And I promise you a be able to get thru whatever
On my soul
Just can't get around this shit it's always gone be some shit testing us
