Struggles
Don’t tell me
I’ve never been through struggles
Tell me what you’ve been through
I’ll make it double
I’ve said this before
But I’m not doing this music shit for the dough
I do it cause it comes from the soul
And nothing more
People all around me said I’d never make it
Sometimes it hits my core
Need to make an arrangement
I’m always grounded thankful for the pavement
My words make the whole world shake
I’m the reason that the earth rotates
Man those are words of encouragement
Never discourage me
In anyway shape or form
Never leave me torn
Grew up with no role models
But I’m the new mold
These scars left in my brain
I just want them slain
Repressed memories that I’m just tryna forget
Flashbacks of my childhood
Times when I was upset
I grew stronger from my past
I just never had the time
To be a child
It was wild
I wish I could file a complaint
But it doesn’t work like that
Sometimes I have this urge to blast
Runaway from everything
But that won’t solve much
I want you all to listen with your heart
And not your brain
Feel my pain
See what I’ve been through
Maybe I can empathize with you too
But i don’t know
Word behind melodies
Rise above anything else
It’s the easiest way for me to show you what I’ve felt
I often come off as a jerk
Cause I don’t want new people to make me hurt
Ever again
My dad did it one too many times
And he wanted my respect
He must have been crazy
Sure I never understood from a young
Age
That what he was doing was wrong
But his words overcame mine
He was too strong
He hurt me physically and mentally
I always thought he would come around eventually
But truth is He didn’t
He went to jail and never came back
I call that good riddance
I started something and now I’m gonna finish it
I ain’t gonna be no delinquent
See your drive can change over the years
It’s best to read the manual before you shift the gears
Looking at me know I shed a tear
Im glad to be the man I’ve become
Im glad to be where I’m from
Im gonna graduate soon so thatll be fun
I’ve finally made it
I look back at the relationships I’ve had
Whether romantic or not
It has contributed to my mental stability
I utilize those weaknesses to the best of my ability
Now I just live in tranquility
I hope you realize your struggles don’t make who you are
But they’re part of your identity
There’s plenty more
There’s plenty more to see
Trust me
