[Intro]
Yo, yo, check this out
There's a lot of cats out here tryna get a deal
There's a lot of cats out here makin' promises and never following through with 'em
I was in the same boat, I feel you
Yeah, so we gonna reverse this and ask them how they would feel, yeah
[Verse 1]
How would you like it if somebody came along claimin' they money's long and they wanna put you on?
All they doing is playing with you
They got the money and the deal but they won't give it to you
All you tryna do is get this money
A crib for your mommy, a sample from a honey
Come through the hood with ya 5 or ya 6
Or some 21s with some fake niggas on your dick
[Chorus]
Why should I keep on strugglin' and goin' through hard times?
Somebody tell me where do we go?
'Cause at this point I can't give up
But it's takin'
(Forever, forever, for)
[Verse 2]
Could stay hungry 'til your ribs start showin'
Where your next piece of change is comin' from? You not knowin'
To your friends, you're always beggin'
Now you ain't cool, you find yourself doin' things you never do
Like stealin', robbin', man, you better chill
Damn, I gotta keep it real
I let the pen do the talkin', let the haters keep walkin'
I pray for the day word gets out my album's droppin'
[Chorus]
Why should I keep on strugglin' and goin' through hard times?
Somebody tell me where do we go? (Where do we go?)
'Cause at this point I can't give up
But it's takin'
(Forever, forever, for)
Why should I keep on strugglin' and goin' through hard times?
Somebody tell me where do we go? (Where do we go?)
'Cause at this point I can't give up
But it's takin'
(Forever, forever, for)
[Verse 3]
Yo, this is what I told them cats, yo
I see a lot of cats on TV with record deals
They got a clique or an entourage with no skills
Everybody who hears me be like, "Damn, you can flow"
I guess it's not about my skills, it's about who I don't know
But that's cool, I'ma deal with you laters
I'ma be weight platinum plus on the regular
Whoever wants beef with me
I'm tryna stack these figures, no time for hatin' niggas
[Chorus]
Why should I keep on strugglin' and goin' through hard times?
Somebody tell me where do we go? (Where do we go?)
'Cause at this point I can't give up
But it's takin'
(Forever, forever, for)
Why should I keep on strugglin' and goin' through hard times?
Somebody tell me where do we go? (Where do we go?)
'Cause at this point I can't give up
But it's takin'
(Forever, forever, for)
[Outro]
All I gotta do is keep on goin'
The man upstairs gotta plan, I gotta keep on believin'
I just wanna get away someday
Every time I look up and try to smile
Something goes wrong and it brings me back down
