Sild struggles Lyrics

Hey, hey, when it comes to life, it's all in your hands, man, you feel me

You got one motherfuckin' chance to shape it and take it, you feel me

Run with it, you understand

Believe in what you believe in and stand on that, on G-O-D

I was running wild, I was fucking up, bending out of schools, breaking rules, it was tough as fuck

I seen the struggles, saw I hustled, it was hard times

Looking at your photo album, crying about your pastimes

You lost your mama, granny, and your baby brothers

Uncles and co-cousins can't forget about your big brother

And I chose the same road as your little brother

Add mathematics to the traffic, slinging niggas' butter

Keep a thumper, Lord, watch me, case they try to smother

Empty out all 21, be dumb to let them get a one

Get low and aim them, send them to him

Send someone to kingdom come

I know you said a prayer for me, devil trying to get a one

Only thing I know is God is watching over Richard, son

I apologize, mama, please forgive me, I was living dumb

All these devs got a nigga sick, it had me feeling numb

Hard to feel normal when the norm is totin, send a bun

I lost a lot, it ain't too late, a nigga figured out

They wanna see me lose, get abused, and have me singled out

So I'm stepping up, trying to be a better me

I've been working on myself, but still won't let a nigga mangle me

D.A. got her hands around my neck, she trying to strangle me

Learning about convictions, cold picture, how she painted me

Headed toward destruction, but Insta must let me change rounds

I owe my kids different than I had, it was going down

I be paranoid, that's why I'm always rolling loud

I be moving fast, it comes the time for you to slow down

Gotta elevate, if you don't, you gon' lose out

Stagnation is a curse, on your turn, you gon' change rounds

Niggas love clout till they found what they brings out

I see a lot of hate, it's no love what I found out

Gotta stay on dry land, if you don't wanna drown

When you down, semen in your feet sink you to the ground

But it's also, when you know yourself, and you know that you are not perfect

It would be the height of hypocrisy, for me as a spiritual teacher

To look down on my brother or sister, because of some fault that they had

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that

We are the direct descendants of the Creator

And we are a part of the Creator's nation

So we are the righteous by nature, but wicked by circumstance
