- Verse #1
This is my lifes struggles, askin myself is it worth the trouble
Working so hard so my family can eat
I dont know If I can last any longer
We cant even sleep eat and drink in this heat
Sometimes I feel like I wanna cry, but I cant I need to be a man
For my parents sake, I got to take that fucken stand
We cant go on livin life like this
Its too hard to even miss,
Im trying to make it to the top, You cant do anything for me to stop
Askin' myself why, why did it have to be this way
Livin' so hard in the past, so my family can stay
Felt like running away sometimes I dont know why
Thought about joining the street life, But I changed my mind
-
Chorus
This is my lifes struggles
Getting up out of the streets
This is what I go through day to day
So my family can stay
This is what I live for
Going through more and more
- Verse #2
My first motive was to live a good life
Trying everything to succeed with all my might
Living like this didnt seem so right
Working day to day, so they dont kick us out
Paying the bills, so they dont shut us out
It seems you live too good , to imagine my struggles
This what I go through , Living life with so many troubles
Everyday is like a mission, going through many ambitions in life
Felt like I didnt have much to live for
But I thought it through the nights I layed in bed
Could'nt sleep with all the thoughts running in my head
I need to change my life, do whatever it takes
So whatever I do in life, Imma finish what I started
- Chorus
This is my lifes struggles
Getting up out of the streets
This is what I go through day to day
So my family can stay
This is what I live for
Going through more and more
- Verse #3
I spit bars of steal with lyrics real explicit
My real ticket to get up out of this bitch
And now my life is decent , Thats the update, really recent
How much can we take of this life
How many more gotta die through out the night
Before we all see that this life will never be right
Now looking back from today, my life was really hard
Im glad we made it this far, never knew my life can lasts
With all the bad memories in my heart to keep
I'll remember where I came from, born and raised in 909
Still living in this city, away from hard crimes
Never catch me slipping, in the wrong position
Second thoughts would be kicking, of the good life I was wishing
- Chorus
This is my lifes struggles
Getting up out of the streets
This is what I go through day to day
So my family can stay
This is what I live for
Going through more and more
- Verse #4
Many years have passed by, My life is doing alright
Gots a good job supporting my family
No more street life for me, no more riding on the enemys
I thought about this for so long, wondering if my kids will ever do the same
Its like there gonna re-live my life , I cant blame them for that
As a matter of fact , I'll tell them some day about my life
About the way my family had to survive
Respect it and earn it, never bring shame to the game
Now Everybody wants to know about me
Just sit back and relax, let me tell you
The life and the story of this young ass V
- Chorus
This is my lifes struggles
Getting up out of the streets
This is what I go through day to day
So my family can stay
This is what I live for
Going through more and more
