They say Struggle comes before success
I Smoke a 5 pack of woods just to cope wit the stress
So I prepare for the worst and hope for the best
Sum times I wish I was still young and never left the nest
My momma told me tht life gets hard
And she also said never let down your guard
At times I still can't believe That i made it this far it seems like jus yesterday
I had sleep in my car
I got 4 boys but only 2 I can see one got adopted by the state
And the others mother hates me
I pay child support for him and my youngest baby
My oldest lives in Mississippi 800 miles from me
So I keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing
I'm pushing for the ones that's close to me
Rip keveen tatium yo name lives on thru me
I'm tryna get the family Str8 and I put tht on me
And for u I'm but to pour my soul on this beat
I try my best to put my soul in these beats
Cause if I don't then I'll be forced to out my all in these streets
And get it out the mud like the Homies did before me
Rip the homie Rell he was a young og
He used to say if u having It then u can spend it
And never stunt on yo homie u supposed to stunt witm
For u and my cousin I'll pour out a lil liquor
Cause when it came to the music y'all always told me stick wit it
I knw the struggle comes before success at night I get down on my knees
And ask the lord wats next then twist up another wood jus to cope with the stress
On the way to the hall of success I gotta take the steps
So I keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing
I'm pushing for the ones that's close to me
Rip those dead and gone yo name lives on thru me
I'm tryna put the city on my back and I put tht on me
