808 Saints - The Struggle

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
808 808
Gotta cope, gotta struggle
I know people everyday who gotta hustle for the bag or the break
Trying to keep from going under
Too legit to crumble
Horror stories got a couple
Gotta cope, gotta struggle
I know people everyday who gotta hustle for the bag or the break
Trying to keep from going under
Too legit to crumble
Horror stories got a couple

I know people still woke with the blinds down
Trying to claim I'm in the fucking wrong at the same time
Telling me the bond's fucking broke now
Broker than the change we've been asking about?
Thought it was the same page but you drafted out
Never read the same book or even chapters how?
I ain't jiggy with the lord or any pastors touts
But I'll tell you how I'm feeling in a passage now so hold up
Had to tell the preacher man
Gotta give props to the African Americans
Paved a better life for we Nigerians
How could I say no to all the struggles they still facing on the daily
When they never get the upper hand out
Lesser man coasting on the wave of the suffering
Damn that used to be me back in Carter man
Tenth grade shapes had to put me on then
But you better see your tears in a better light
And you've gotta seek resolve in the dead of night
Cos at the end of the day this shit is hard we gotta tussle
I know people every day who duck and cover
From the facts or their feelings while you maybe thinking of it
I'm just sharing hard facts I ain't mad that you above it
But you plugging up the function
I'm trying to cause a ruckus
You trying to pray to God
I'm trying to reach him through the public

Gotta cope, gotta struggle
I know people everyday who gotta hustle for the bag or the break
Trying to keep from going under
Too legit to crumble
Horror stories got a couple
Gotta cope, gotta struggle
I know people everyday who gotta hustle for the bag or the break
Trying to keep from going under
Too legit to crumble
Horror stories got a couple
