Intro

Imagine if you got what you want every time, no struggle, no hard work, no challenges No hard work required Some of you are saying that would be great, you would be weak And then when something hard comes up in your life, you wouldn't know how to handle it I said I wake up every day like why this world is fucked up I'm praying to Allah, why I can't get no luck I'm trying to fly high, but I'm sitting like a duck Cause if I don't get a deal, then I'm buried in the back of a truck A lot of people live the struggle, but I suffered then most Heart burning like some allergies burning your nose I couldn't heat up the crib, so we turned on the stove And I had to hit the block, I needed money and clothes Little sister in college, my mom working on the move Dad working two jobs, little brother doing good in school I'm on another path, trying to make it to greatness Flow going through your mind, got it sticking like braces This that hungry shit, fill it in your tummy shit Gotta rob a nigga, give it to him with a hundred clips Do whatever to get it, for them fucking chips If this ship sinking, then I'm going to the other ship Niggas gotta live, kids gotta eat A bitch don't give a f*ck, she just wanna lie and cheat But if the shoe don't fit, don't wear it, it ain't really hard to see Cause no matter where they at, independent where I be It's just me, myself and I, all these people ask me why Cause the closest niggas to you, they'll kill you by surprise If I'm always on my own, then it's easy to survive When it comes down to it, niggas do before they die, Damn Because you have never gone through anything that strengthens you You cannot grow without struggle You cannot develop strength without resistance Without challenging yourself, without struggle Pain is your friend Maybe not in the moment But for the evolution of your soul For the long term benefit of you As a stronger human being Pain is your friend Thank you for watching
