Trials & Tribulations

[Verse 1]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, lemme get situated
Guilty by affiliation and association
So be careful 'bout who you associate with
I seen niggas get life over a conversation
Born in eighty-six, my president was Ronald Reagan
The crack epidemic nigga, if I'm not mistaken
I'm just rollin' this Backwood and just contemplatin'
Niggas still sleepin' on me, they not awakened
Time to wake they ass up, a legend in the makin'
I greet you in peace, As-Salaam-Alaikum
I'm concrete, fuckery, I don't partake in
No snakes in my grass, nigga, I'm always rakin'
No matter what you got, niggas always hate it
Jealousy, envy, disloyalty, they all related
Stop hangin' 'round the moves and see how far it take you

[Chorus]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, lemme get situated
Guilty by affiliation and association
So be careful 'bout who you associate with
I seen niggas get life over a conversation
Born in eighty-six my president was Ronald Reagan
The crack epidemic nigga, if I'm not mistaken
I'm just rollin' this Backwood and just contemplatin'

[Verse 2]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, fought a million cases
Never made a statement, just made it to the state pen
Nigga had to write raps with a state pen
I watched them snakes, they poisonous with venom in 'em
Some niggas won't support you unless it's beneficial
You can check my background, I been official
I'm authentic, y'all rap niggas is artificial
Show no mercy on a opp, nigga, I'm optimistic
Been goin' hard on this rap since I got outta prison
Hangin' 'round with crash dummies was not the mission
Them them niggas have you booked like a composition
Fake niggas, they be lyin', they're a contradiction
My raps all facts, nigga, non-fiction
Stop repeatin' with your niggas, kill the competition
Start eatin' with your niggas, get that out your system

[Chorus]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, lemme get situated
Guilty by affiliation and association
So be careful 'bout who you associate with
I seen niggas get life over a conversation
Born in eighty-six my president was Ronald Reagan
The crack epidemic nigga, if I'm not mistaken
I'm just rollin' this Backwood and just contemplatin'
