We always living through the struggle
I mean it's been a couple
Years but all the problems getting doubled
Out here tryna hustle
My family stay in trouble
I remember days we solving problems with our knuckles
I mean it's been a while since I had a good day
I mean no worries everything was ok
Now I always wonder when imma get paid
Or who running out tryna pop an AK
Dang
I ain't in the street but my fam gotta eat
I be tucking in the kids but we missing the sheets
We got 2 pairs of shoes but four pairs of feet
We be eating cheeseburgers but we missing the meat
And I ain't talking bout some vegan thing
I'm talking real life struggling
Tryna get into a better lane
They told me it will never change
I used to be living it up
But now I ain't really living for much
I probably should be giving it up
But I got hope we gon bring it back up
I used to be living it up
But now I ain't really living for much
I probably should be giving it up
But I got hope we gon bring it back up
Got fired last week
And my car broke
All of that after paying off the car note
It's feeling like a bad joke
But I ain't playing man this is how my days go
I want a couple a mill
Or even just a couple of meals
Yesterday I seen a meme that said the struggle is real
Come to my house and see how I feel
For real
I'm tryna see the positive light
It's kinda hard when the positives fight
I could really use some problem advice
But they said they got no dog in the fight
So I'm running on my own
Me I'm just running to my home
It's crazy cuz I'm running alone
But I ain't tryna be running no more
I used to be living it up
But now I ain't really living for much
I probably should be giving it up
But I got hope we gon bring it back up
I used to be living it up
But now I ain't really living for much
I probably should be giving it up
But I got hope we gon bring it back up
But I ain't never been this down before
I used to be the honor roll
I'm just tryna let my family know
We gonna kick it from this struggle man that's the goal
Now I'm running round the city
Hoping that my team be coming with me
Man we gotta do it but it's never been easy
I'm just hoping that my fam really won't leave me
For real
Now lemme offer what I offer
Out here tryna do it really proper
What the hells a kid without his mother or his father
I'm just out here tryna really do it for my daughter
And my sons too
If anybody touch em that's the one two
I'm the same dude you can come to
I'm still looking up hope you come through
I used to be living it up
But now I ain't really living for much
I probably should be giving it up
But I got hope we gon bring it back up
I used to be living it up
But now I ain't really living for much
I probably should be giving it up
But I got hope we gon bring it back up
