Struggle

[Intro]

Yeah, uh

It used to be like that, haha

I remember that, dawg, I can talk about it

Yeah

[Chorus]

I'm familiar with the struggle (I’m familiar)

My mother's my father (True story)

I'm familiar with the struggle (What?)

No lights, cold water (Yeah)

I ain’t never had nothin' (Shit)

That's what got me cold-hearted (That's what got me like this)

I'm familiar with the struggle (Yeah)

That's what made me go harder (Solid)

That's what made me go harder (No way)

That's what made me go harder (Give it)

I done witnessed plenty nights (What?)

No lights, cold water (For real)

That’s what made me go harder (No way)

That’s what made me go harder (Solid)

I remember, I remember (I remember)

That was just last Winter (Last year)

[Verse 1]

A nigga had to go and get it (Go and get it)

Sellin' dope, breakin’ bitches (What else?)

Got sick of hopin' and the wishin' (I did)

Had to catch a nigga slippin' (Got him)

Timmy couldn’t do nothin' with me (No)

Daddy brought us, I don't work pimpin' (I don't work)

She tell me he moved out to grandma house (Then what?)

I couldn't do it, man, I went missin' (I couldn't do it)

House for house, stayin' with different bitches (Woo)

Ask Tabo, he was right with me (Ayy, ask him)

See, I know about the struggle (I do)

Still a meter, now we got lights in this motherfucker (Voilà)

That's what motivate the hustle (It did)

Thank God I made it out the struggle (Amen)

'Cause I remember, I remember

One Thanksgiving, we ain't have dinner (I remember that)

I remember, I remember I couldn't get the Js

Now, there go my Timbs (Ayy, I remember that)

Wiggin' out, flippin' out, hoes in the wall trippin' out (I was trippin' it)

I remember, I remember me havin' dreams

Of ballin' on hard wood (Whoopin')

Then reality hit a nigga (What?)

I was just sleepin' on hard wood (Damn)

[Chorus]

I'm familiar with the struggle (I'm familiar)

My mother's my father (True story)

I'm familiar with the struggle (What?)

No lights, cold water (Yeah)

I ain't never had nothin' (Shit)

That's what got me cold-hearted (That's what got me like this)

I'm familiar with the struggle (Yeah)

That's what made me go harder (Solid)

That's what made me go harder (No way)

That's what made me go harder (Give it)

I done witnessed plenty nights (What?)

No lights, cold water (For real)

That's what made me go harder (No way)

That's what made me go harder (Solid)

I remember, I remember (I remember)

That was just last Winter (Last year)

[Verse 2]

You ain't never got Reepo (No)

You ain't never pulled the kick door (Nah)

You ain't never had to wait to the fit

To pay your rent, 'cause your money low (I don't think you did)

And when the field came around, still ain't have it (Then what happened?)

Now they puttin' you out, that's tragic (Crazy, son)

Now it's a house full of madness (Woo)

Mama cryin', got her head down (Hol' up)

Guess I gotta be the man now (Deafed up)

Ain't no sense of me cryin' (No)

I gotta get down and grind (Get it)

I called the baby Lil' 9

My friend 'nem thought I was out of my mind (Thought I was losin' it)

I had to take off some action (I did)

I had to get it and stack it (I got it)

That was way 'fore the rappin' (Way back)

Got a bomb, unwrap it (Woo)

Unravellin' the plastic (Now what?)

Now I'm on the block trappin' (Hey)

First charge was a dope charge (Yeah)

Caught another charge tryna steal a car (Hahaha)

Ain't ashamed of where I come from (No)

Put my life in each and every bar (Real talk)

[Chorus]

I'm familiar with the struggle (I'm familiar)

My mother's my father (True story)

I'm familiar with the struggle (What?)

No lights, cold water (Yeah)

I ain't never had nothin' (Shit)

That's what got me cold-hearted (That's what got me like this)

I'm familiar with the struggle (Yeah)

That's what made me go harder (Solid)

That's what made me go harder (No way)

That's what made me go harder (Give it)

I done witnessed plenty nights (What?)

No lights, cold water (For real)

That's what made me go harder (No way)

That's what made me go harder (Solid)

I remember, I remember (I remember)

That was just last Winter (Last year)
