Struggle and Strife


Look at my life

All the struggle and strife

I deal with on the daily

Haters are spineless

Like snakes, scaly

My words never fail me

King Liam, hail me

grew up like a peasant

Still like that in the present

But I'm looking to the future

To the day that my face

Is on your computer

My name is Elemental

Livin' in a rental

Got about 99 problems on my mental

Doubters get smacked in the temple

Only true believers in my temple

Stressful, days I don't feel so special

School and work

Pushing me past the threshold

Pushing me over the edge

Gotta smoke a bowl of rege

To deal with the struggle and strife.
