The Struggle (feat. Lexiz & Beats By Con)

I write these songs like I'm painting a picture
Clever with it, when creating these features
It's all I ever wanted, music my life
Give my all as I make these sacrifices
I put a lot of work put my heart into this
Put my thoughts, put my money, put my soul into this
And some days I don't feel inspired
Some days I want to let go, I'm tired
And my desire is to shine and set the world on fire
I'm serving you my life the several nights I cried
Feeling paralyzed by the fears that I idolized
Antagonized by the pressure that comes with this life
Struggling with it, my folks don't want me fumbling in it
They need me to win but some days I'm stumbling in it
I get back up, pick up the pace never quitting on this
Slow and steady wins the race so I cruise on the beat

Cause these voices in my head
They're trying to get me scared
They want to make me leave the path that I'll like to thread

On God I declare it I just want to be heard
I'm no sheep had to clear it for the love of the art
I stay unique on the streets I roam
Building up my skill till you see I'm goat and so the story goes
I recall all the times and the nights when
I'll be up performing all the songs that I liked in
The parlour with dreams of me hyping a crowd up
Remote control in my hands imaginary mic then
I used to want to rock a rhyme like Jay Z
Or maybe, the good kid from T.D.E.
But lately, I've been bettering my skill
These cats ain't me so I gotta keep it real
Lil'osh my gee I ain't forgot
First rhymes that you heard and you thought I was hot
Wasn't even mines but you gave your support
Gave me the boost now I'll never stop no cap
We had plans of doing collabs of raps
We stacked verses but your passion collapsed
You had your own path and I respect that
Matter of fact, back to the path I thread
Back to the times when, all I had were fears
Of what the future holds, thinking they wouldn't send
These gems I bear, but I felt no fears
The moment I cared less of thoughts in your head
What's up?
