4 The Struggle

Let my body be the vessel
My soul woah that's another level
I couldn't even start to tell you
I just pray the evil don't prevail you
Uh, we can't let the demons win
I see 'em in my self, I see 'em in my kin
I just started writin' as a way to vent
I just started rappin' just to make a cent
Ten years later different slate of risks
Found out this whole time was already rich
You can't explain it when you start to feel your mind switch
I always knew some things just ain't make no sense
(yea) Now, it's obvious
Don't look at me like I'm no lobbyist
If I anything tell em I wanna be copying
Rasullah Salalahualahi Wa Salam
I don't wanna see Jannaham
Out here blocking my own blessings
That's the type of feeling when you see the feds coming
Speaking of that, we need better for the children
Let's invest 'til we all see a billion
I don't even count bars it's just a lil something
They'd prolly look at me wrong if I said F a cop
But they running up in yards bustin' twenty shots
This prolly the type of -- that got Huey hot
And him and Bobby Seale out patrolling blocks
We just do it for the struggle, we don't need the props
Just want to be comfortable, I don't need a lot
I got lost, I get lost, I keep going
Any problems in the way we just heave-ho em
Got to make salat before I leave home
Cause I don't know if I'ma make it to the next one
Yeah, yeah that's real
Yeah, yeah that's life
Long days, short nights
We all got problems we tryna get right
Rappin' don't keep on the lights
But they tell me I sound like
Mos, Common, or Cole
That's cool, but word to my soul
It's not on my five year goals
Crazy thinking I was doing this at five years old
With no intention to go bigger than I'd ever go
Prolly partly for show, to impress my Umi
Back then in school pictures I had on the Kufi
Are you Shia or Sunni? Prolly closer to Sufi
But no division, I don't know what type of talkin' you doing
That kind of thinking we'll have us, and everybody in ruins
We're all pursuing the same
Can't get lost in the game
It's easy to do, but in the end there won't be nothing to gain
Yea, In the end there won't be nothing...

In the end there won't be nothing to gain
So I'm just looking for the blessings in the rain
