Struggle & Progress ft. MC Trigga & Torino Lyrics

Allow me to reintroduce

No lies nigga he is the truth

And if you look in my eyes

All you see is the proof

That's why a nigga gets loose

And the only time I feel free is the booth

But I'm hoping the lord can save me

I'm serving fiends daily and hoping they all can pay me

Or never do me shady or feel the urge to play me

I've been crazy still angry I wasn't a mommy's baby

But now a spend different days on the same shit

And I stay with the same clique that I came with

And I stays OTF to the death

I love my niggas so much my white friends think I'm racist

But that could never be the case

Tell the truth I wish they never made up race

And we was all one all one just like how it used to be

Coz the shit out here just ain't how it used to be

The life in the streets shit it ain't sweet to survive

That's why I come and spit it on the beat

Get high all day for the pain and the stress

And write rhymes to reflect the struggle and the progress

The life in the streets shit it ain't sweet to survive

That's why I come and spit it on the beat

Get high all day for the pain and the stress

And write rhymes to reflect the struggle and the progress

I ain't even tryna get rich

I'm tryna to make changes like PAC said at 96

There's levels to this shit and I'm rolling with the most high

So most times it feels like the devil don't quit

He's on my shoulder blade

Creeping through the road so I blow the haze

Go my own ways I'm like a loner from the stoner's age

You know my face skate through the hood like I'm on roller blades

Tryna read the book but they don't know the page

Upgraded and grown a stage a Manchester messiah

And you could never reach the level

Cause my echelon's higher

And I can't walk over water But I'll step on the fire

The pen and pad that's my weapon attire

And yeah I step on a trier

Tryna shit on my parade for no reason though

This ain't the season though

But the wolves can still can do you greezy though

If you're greedy though believe me though

Cause life's hard But we still can't take death easy though

The life in the streets shit it ain't sweet to survive

That's why I come and spit it on the beat

Get high all day for the pain and the stress

And write rhymes to reflect the struggle and the progress

The life in the streets shit it ain't sweet to survive

That's why I come and spit it on the beat

Get high all day for the pain and the stress

And write rhymes to reflect the struggle and the progress

Life growing up hope that my demons don't win

The choice is yours to decide

This is where the story begins

Life's growing up we chilled in a place full of sins

I'll take you where the story ends

You know where the story begins

I've seen niggas switch on niggas that they say they love

Turn my shit off if you're thinking I'm a say what's good

You know them stories that you hear that's what makes the hood

My G you really need to watch them snakes because

They will plot they won't hesitate to cut your throat

I used to hit the roads and hang with niggas just to smoke

Back in the day it was all about them greens

Now they're powdering their noses on the daily I don't fuck with coke

It's fucked you know it's like the whole hoods sniffing

At the bottom of the food chain that's no good living

That's the streets though

I've been in it six feet deep bro

When someone tries to kill you for real that's beef yo

I've been through it there's no liar in the truth

I've been around the block now I'm inspiring the youth

I remember having visions of me dying on the gooch

Born with fire in my belly put this fire in the booth

The life in the streets shit it ain't sweet to survive

That's why I come and spit it on the beat

Get high all day for the pain and the stress

And write rhymes to reflect the struggle and the progress

The life in the streets shit it ain't sweet to survive

That's why I come and spit it on the beat

Get high all day for the pain and the stress

And write rhymes to reflect the struggle and the progress
