I'm Strugglin
I'm strugglin,
In every possible medium
Finances gettin dry, why can't I just
Get what I'm needin from
This Life.
Success, a blessing, a couple wishes, no second guessing
On whether I can sustain, but the pleasure of maintaining.
Where can I draw the line when this struggle keeps me behind
Plus in debt I'm up to my eyes, and to opportunity blind.
So blind I don't see when good is in my midst
A huge skeptic, so I miss
Out on chances for expansion a Mis-
Fortune, mistake, a mishap
I'm missin the days
When worry never flourished
Now in mid-summer my worries flurry
Then begin to snow and rain and drop on me like hail
And I feel like when snow falls it turns blizzard
Within a matter of moments
Man I'm Strugglin
And not too many gonna care, even though I was always there
They turn they're backs or sit and stare
It's also rare that they came to see me
Unless their problems overbear
But what about mine, because my family need me
They deserve to live life freely
Feed me the bull the excuses and lies
Don't tell me u can help, thinking I'll be satisfied
With knowing at least you tried? Naw,
You could've, but the minimal
Never got applied by you.
So I look to no one,
Walking through life with a chip on my shoulder
And with each step and each day I'm just growin stronger
Plus naturally a loner, reclusive, yet getting bolder
With mental strength that makes me an unmovable boulder
Yo I'm Strugglin
Which adds stress
It's getting the best of me
Probably might be the death of me
I need to be thinking health and wealth
But struggles weighing Heavily
I'm no worse off than the victims who live with leprosy
In this diction I simply wish just to speak through my pencil
And I'm even strugglin with This.
Struggle by definition is
to make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction
Picture an anaconda squeezin the very life out ya body
You unknowingly have the power to overpower this powerful situation
My inspiration and motivation stems from determination to terminate
And exterminate, sending struggle its obliteration
One day I'll overcome it, but today I'll keep on strugglin
Until then, what Life gives me I'll keep loving that
The fact will always stand that when the day comes and there's none of it
I'll accept that until I'm free, I'll be Strugglin
