Man it’s so many layers to this record right here. I literally was struggling around this time. Mentally, emotionally and spiritually. There is a lot of moments that I had to pull out of myself in order to do this song. Once again you can hear the aggression, and the pain in my voice .
Intro: Julius De'Von]
Ok....ok ye' ..yeah..here we go...ugh
[Verse 1]
Young nigga with ambition my goal is the title
I will reign king, word to the holy bible
Never did that hatin' shit my nigga that is vital
Lyrics like gorilla's man my heart be pumping primal
Have you ever had to drink pool water for survival
Maybe pain then push to the point of suicidal
Constant struggle was custom to the childhood cycles
So me and my niggas look up to the gangsta disciples
For a moment step in my real life
Look in the sky ain't shit bright
Look at the walls they peeled white
Struggle and stress is a daily vice
There's no brain food for the appetite
To keep the flame going for the candle light
A lot of souls gone no candle lights
You ain't give me life so why should I fight
For it, he replies because I'm bored
Like a piece of plywood that should be boarded
I can't reply so I ignore it
The house of pain key is stuck inside my windpipe
Want a jumpsuit with those pinstripes
Give insight, there's no help for you in sight
So dim the lights and close the blinds
[Chorus]
You gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on ugh
Gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on
If they asking why you hustle nigga, tell em everydays a struggle nigga
Cause everydays a struggle nigga, that's the reason why I hustle nigga
If they asking why you hustle nigga, tell em everydays a struggle nigga
Cause everydays a struggle nigga, that's the reason why I hustle nigga
[Verse 2]
You can see the power in pain, the pain in power
If concrete can sprout a flower , even a crew can knock down a tower
Even Tony said this world was ours
There's a man inside of every coward
That stood inside the house of pain
With lots to gain , the shit is not a game
Look around you this shit is real
Cmon God I need a different deal
Cause this house right here is hell for real
Life is driven, I ain't behind the wheel
Time to delete this scene and cut the movie reel
I don't feel like pushing up daffodils
I'm just stating on how I feel
Cause the hood had gave me the right to kill
Damn why must I go through this all the time
I must be out my mind , cause I'm hustlin' for a dime
Just waitin for my time
Don't try to size me up or read what's on my medulla
Just read between the lines
Man I'm tired of the poverty stricken life we live
I mean I love it , but man my crib you have no idea
That the amount of the fear , the scream in my ear
The struggle through the year, I can swim in my tear
We were meant for the rear , Gotta clean my mirror just to make it all clear
My letter to God should I start it with a dear
[Chorus]
Gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on ugh
Gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on
If they asking why you hustle nigga, tell em everydays a struggle nigga
Cause everydays a struggle nigga, that's the reason why I hustle nigga
If they asking why you hustle nigga, Cause everydays a struggle nigga
They asking why you hustle nigga, Cause everydays a struggle nigga
