The Struggle (Fallin’) Lyrics
[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
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

About
Genius Annotation
Another track for my upcoming mixtape “Metempsychosis”. Produced by DJ Vinyl, this track samples JMSN’s “Fallin'”.
Basically this song is talking about my struggles in life, and is dedicated to everybody else’s struggles, no matter where they live, who they are, or how miniscule their struggle is.
