Sometimes you give me kisses that you want me to believe
I've been understanding you that im everything you need
using me it's over now and soon you'll gonna see
I'm done with you 2x
Would there be a difference if i follow what you say?
Taken from my mind and i can't seem to get away
using me it's over now and soon your gonna see
I'm done with you 2x
Everyone is the same When you point the blame

All I know is that life is a struggle
(Why?)Everyone is the same When you point the blame
All I know is that live is a struggle

this song is by Adema not KoRn

I couldn't fall asleep late last night, thinkin' what we had just might be all over baby
And I don't know if you meant what you said when you told me you was sick of tryin', you was
sick of fightin', cryin', lyin' and didn't wanna do this again
We may have said some things, we may have did some things, we should've never did
But we both know it takes more just to apologize, boy
But from what I'm feelin' inside, boy I'm yours, and boy you're mine
And even if I said I was leavin' babe, I couldn't picture no more you and me
See, I ain't perfect babe, and you ain't perfect baby, so listen to the realest thing that I
can say
Sometimes it's a struggle babe, and it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth, I will struggle babe, cause I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep
tryin'
Over and over and over and over again, over and and over and over again
(Til we get it right baby)
Over and over and over and over again
See, we done been together for a few years now, and ain't no way we just gon sit right here
and throw it out
See even if it's my mistake, or if it's your mistake, and we would scream and shout
You gotta know I love you babe, and I'mma show you babe, we can work this out
So many nights when we would tear rooms up in this house
And we both know, we're both wrong - what is this about?
But when I look into your eyes, I'm in your heart, and you are in mine
Even if I said I was leavin' babe, I couldn't picture no more you and me
See, I ain't perfect babe, and you ain't perfect baby, so listen to the realest thing that I can say
Sometimes it's a struggle babe, and it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth, I will struggle babe, cause I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep tryin'
Over and over and over and over again, over and and over and over again
(Til we get it right baby)
Over and over and over and over again
Said I don't wanna be alone baby, cause you are everything I know baby
See, you're everything I need, and you're everything I see, and you're everything I feel, and
you're everything in me
Said I don't wanna be alone baby, cause you are everything I know baby
See, you're everything I need, and you're everything I see, and you're everything I feel, and
you're everything in me
Sometimes it's a struggle babe, and it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth, I will struggle babe, cause I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep tryin'
Over and over and over and over again, over and and over and over again
(Til we get it right baby)
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over and over and over, over agai..yayi..yayi...yayi.
Said, I don't wanna be without you bae, cause I love you babe.
Said, I wanna be in your life, so I'mma keep tryin'
Over and over, and over and over and over and over, over again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, said I love you babe. I don't wanna see you leave me baby

Travelling down a dirty road
Covered with moss
And see the grey stones
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes by
Coming down from heaven like a falling star
That you wish upon
Isn¡¯t it a struggle
To find a good friend?
Isn¡¯t it a struggle
To have to defend?
Isn¡¯t it a struggle
You have to take that chance to lend a hand
Well I¡¯m travelling down a dirty road
Clearing up all that¡¯s known
A misty occurrence happens all the time
Around every corner a brighter day lies
Loads of mercy, beauty beholds
An eye for a partner as good, as good as gold
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes

Understanding the meaning of struggle
Giving your whole life to a single passion
Which others may or may not
Consider obsolete
Like a rare flower
Seen by a few before it withers and dies
(before it withers and dies)
Seeing it all
All the way through the very end
Regardless
A full stop followed by an exclamation mark
Written in your flesh and blood
Getting knocked down every time
Getting knocked down every moment
you get up - until you love getting up
I know what you've been going through
I've been there too
God knows I've been pushing hard Pushing so damn hard -
I've forgotten what the hell I'm even -
Pushing for
Recognize it when it happens to you
Learn to recognize it and know what to do
Stop clinging on, let go, own nothing
Do it out of love
Do it out of love
Words cannot substitute
Losing everything
Losing your home
Losing your money
Your dignity
Losing your mind - your beliefs, ideals
Then and only then
When everything is gone
You no longer care
Your soul standing naked and bare
Stripped down to the truth
Then you'll find everything
On heaven and earth
On heaven and earth
On heaven and earth
The struggle is long
The struggle is hard
The struggle is beautiful

Strugglin goin through the motions
Day in day out
Another commotion
Backstabbed don't know how to stop
A friend is only a dollar in a pocket
Won't let you
Chase the dream that I had since I was
Just a little chico in my teens
Now you're gone and I'm doin fine
And you are since you went to
Can you see the tears?
Can you see the pain?
Do you see the hate that I have today?
Can you see the tears?

Ever really thought that I would make it
Never really took another second
To reply to all the letters
Sent all the people asking me
To be president
And whether you or me or him
Ever really thought that I would make it
Never really took another second
To reply to all the letters
Sent all the people asking me
To be president 180 Degree turn
You never learned your lesson
Your mistakes that
Cause and effect the brainiack
Acting like you're a punk 180 Degree turn
You never learned your lesson

Cause and effect the brainiack
Acting like you're a pun
Stabbed your back

To live the dream

there was a hint of danger
they told him it's ok
there was a chance of failure
they told him it's alright
a false security driven by
a weakened state of mind
it's calling and calling
he had a big decision
they told him it's ok
bound by his inhibitions
they told him it's alright
time for reality
time to gain control of his own life
it's calling and calling
do you know what is wrong?
try to keep it in line
you can't go back (can't go back)
there must be something
he tried
once was not enough
they told him it's alright
he tried
wasn't good enough
that doesn't make it right
there was a hint of danger
they told him it's ok
there was a chance of failure
they told him it's alright
a false security driven by
a weakened state of mind
it's calling and calling
do you know what is wrong?
try to keep it in line
you can't go back (can't go back)
there must be something
he tried
once was not enough
they told him it's alright
he tried
wasn't good enough
that doesn't make it right

You can keep a good man down
if he won't stand up and fight
it's time to wake up
it's time to see the light
equality doesn't exist
it's just an ideal in the mind
there's not enough to go around
so take what you can find
Mud on your face
Kick me sign on your back
they took it all
it's time to take it back
do unto others
and watch them beat you down
don't fall below the surface
they'll let you drown
they'll let you down
Black and blue
Tattered and torn
You've been gettin stepped on
since the day that you were born
they say give up
cause you can't win
you're stuck on hte outside
and they wont let you in
I took all the crap I can
and I can't take no more
if they won't let me in
I'm breaking down the door
Disregard the rules
Disregard the laws
they'll get you nothing
I want it all
they'll lead you to believe
that you're doing just fine
they'll live like kings
and you'll fall farther behind
I remember a song i had to sing when i was 10
"this land is your land, this land is mine"
and i believed what they said
and you believed what they said
and we believed what they said
but they lied to me
and they'll lie to you too
and they'll go on denying
and we'll go on dying
I'm not afraid to die
just afraid to never have lived
and the struggle goes on and on

[Hook:]
Even though I know I struggle, I hustle till the end
I'ma stand on my own feet, can't be a boy amongst these men
All I need is a rang, and a lil' bit of Henn
And black tint up on my window, so you can't see me within
Here I come here I come, I know you see me coming
I know you see me coming, I know you see me coming
Here I come here I come, I know you see me coming
I know you see me coming, I know you see me coming
[Rasaq:]
If you see me in the booth ski mask on, I'ma blast off
Pitching niggaz in your ass dog, blast your ass off
Hit the mic with a do' boy, cause I'm so raw
Is I'm with y'all, naw nigga I don't know y'all
Hoping for my downfall, but I'm standing so tall
Do' all in my pockets, trying to make it snowball
Fell off hell naw, nigga I done came back
Different track, but the same nigga with the same tats
You fake niggaz rapping, trying to spit the same facts
And that's why they never feel it, when y'all niggaz say that
So stay back, let a lil' nigga in the front now
Before I show you how to do it, let me put this blunt down boy
[Hook]
[Rasaq:]
I stand on my own two, come and knock me down
Haters frown in my face, but they don't ever fuck around
Everyday I roll G'd up, puffing on a pound
Daydreaming bout the money, to the ceiling from the ground
Throwedest in my town, got my own buzz and my sound
Fuck a punchline and noun, I'm a real nigga bound
Hope you fake niggaz drown, in your own damn flow
Cuz I'm so damn real, and you niggaz so-so
This is for my real niggaz, holding up the fo' fo'
This is for my real niggaz, still repping solo
This is for my real niggaz, Big Roy and Waynehead
Keep that lead in your pocket, cause we finna make bread

Here comes the bang
Here's an attempt to synthesize the thoughts you've come to realize
With that of any chance of doubt that we all struggle in this life
Not wanted (x4)
Here's an attempt to dramatize the pain you've come to realize
No finding commonalities with any decorated side
Not wanted (x4)
Silence all apologize, all apologize
Silence all apologize, all apologize
Here comes the bang
Ensure communicate decline, ensure communicate demise
Said sins seven passed in time - blood, love, hate, and tears with open eyes
Not wanted (x4)
Silence all apologize, all apologize
Silence all apologize, all apologize
Here comes the bang
Not wanted (x3)
There's got to be - someone waiting for me
There's got to be - something waiting for me
There's got to be - someone waiting for me
There's got to be - something in this life I won't pretend to fuckin' care for
Not wanted (x4)

Watch as illusions' fade, revealing disaster impending.
Has hope succumbed to such frailty?
I feel the return that familiar void, like an old close friend.
Revelation that all has been lies.
Now I understand why truth died.
What do you do when no truth stands to comfort you?
Close your eyes?
Shut your ears?
Cover your mouth?
Fight back the tears?
Try to stand on your own; I'll help you.
We'll stand together.
Try to stand on your own; I'll help you.
We'll see it through, make it through.
Won't give up the fight, won't just sit back.
Won't give up the fight, won't just sit back in despair.
I'm reaching out for something, someone, something.
There's no one there.
I'm reaching out for something, someone, something, someone.
Will you be there? Please be there.

Well it's a struggle - Baby
It's a struggle - Yeah Yeah
If it's a struggle between love and hate
Baby's gonna have to wait
Yeah Yeah Huh Yeah Ooh Yeah Struggle
I'm in the middle
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
It's a struggle
It's a struggle
Baby Baby Baby Yeah
Well it's a struggle to make ends meet honey
Under pressure to express yourself
Then admit it
Don't deny yourself Yeah Yeah
Hard to fight
Struggle, struggle
You and me should never feel neglected, overlooked,
One worked, overhooked
Doing as you're told
Hell on hold
Through the night
Without a fight
You gotta face the day
If you struffle baby

Momma went and made a thug nigga,
And by the grace of god you can die a drug dealer.
My soldiers on the grind tryin to climb out the struggle,
In time youll be fine, keep your mind on your hustle.
Remember back, I was a snot nosed nigga,
They told me I was small so I wore my clothes bigger.
Alotta homies dead cause they ran with hoe niggas,
So I ain't never ran with a hit from no nigga.
My soliders 9 to 5 on the block to stay alive,
They know they gotta ride, get that rock away or die.
Ain't got no peace of mind, all they got is peace of mind
with their pistol by their side, tryin to dodge a homicide.
Cause even I ain't tryin to put those tears in mommas eyes,
Gramma know I love her and my momma know I try,
My grandaddy died 'fore I got to say goodbye,
I knew him more than daddy, daddy I ain't gotta lie.
My head up to the sky, when i pray at night I cry,
And ask father why he even bothered with my life.
Cause I ain't here for nothing but the cause of dealin trouble,
If you feel me when you hear me then you know
you feel the struggle when we struggle cause...
Momma went and made a thug nigga,
And by the grace of god you can die a drug dealer.
My soldiers on the grind tryin to climb out the struggle,
In time youll be fine, keep your mind on your hustle.
My soldiers on the grind keep your mind on your hustle,
A nigga look you down, try to shine, show you muscle
My soliders on the grind keep your mind on your hustle,
In time you'll be fine, you gonna climb out the struggle.
Remember back, I was a snot nosed nigga.
For snack, I put the water in my cheerios nigga.
Sugar in my water and a sandwich I was eatin.
Showed a lotta niggas wasn't nothin sweet if I was feining.
Them suckas up the hill tryed to ride around the block,
Tryed to jump us, kept me quiet when we fired random shots.
I knew alotta legends that retired on my block,
Some niggas turned feds and put wires on my block.
But still I'm gonna ride and teein until I die,
I rep one-seven-four 'till the choir harmonize.
Militia get this money, B-X where i reside.
No matter where you bangin, keep your step in solid line.
They want us on the corner, shot to death or on that line.
You feel me when you hear me, how we really know who liein,
Thinkin you ain't here for nothin, but cause of dealin trouble,
If you feel me when you hear me,
then you know you feel the struggle
when we struggle cause..
Momma went and made a thug nigga,
And by the grace of god you can die a drug dealer.
My soldiers on the grind tryin to climb out the struggle,
In time youll be fine, keep your mind on your hustle.
My soldiers on the grind keep your mind on your hustle,
A nigga look you down, try to shine, show you muscle
My soliders on the grind keep your mind on your hustle,

This world is grinding me down. The faith I've got seems so thin.
I know exactly how I want to live, but I crumble so fast.
There's no discipline!
My weakness is my downfall, but I only got myself to blame.
So two-faced and hypocritical, am I worthy to bear Your name.
This Struggle I embrace. Strength to run the human race.
Christ is worth twice the pain of life against the grain.
Forgetting what is behind, we press on toward the goal.
Striving for what's ahead, we take hold of this Struggle.
I think about how He suffered.
And how His sweat was like drops of blood.
Then I see how quickly I'm broken, and how fast I lose my faith in the flood
of dissipation, temptation, frustration, I fall on my knees.
This pitiful celebration of self, its got to cease!
how many times have I walked this ground
with repentance on my lips.
God how long will You strive with my selfishness?
how many times have I turned my back
to fill my heart with nothing
Father, You never forsake me, You gave Your life, I'll do the same.
We Struggle on!
FORGET - what is behind.
PRESS ON - toward the goal.
STRIVE - for what's ahead.
We take hold - OF THIS Struggle!
The pride and the greed, the selfish sense of need,
the anger unjustified, and self-righteous conceit.
The pitiful self-indulgence, the lack of self-control,
the self centered motives, and the trip of the ego.
It's time to rise, confront, and crucify.
It's time I start to live, it's time "I" finally died.
See, self is the thing, you've got to kill for the King,
there ain't room for the two within you. That's the truth.
Day in, day out, the sun rises and sets.
Pages turn in the life of ours, and we can't count the regrets.
Given free will to chose the path of Life, or to wallow in our failure.
From this point we'll Struggle on,
and never take our eyes from the Father.

"Hey, come to me to fullfill your dreams
Just trust and see 'cause my word is true"
Disgust is what I feel
Before those you want to kneel
Sucking every trust
To extend their lust
Rage undoes the knot
I carry in my throat
Feeding their belief
"In the far I see two silhouettes standing
there, watching me
They reach out their hands and with glancing eyes
they speak to me..."

There goes Elvis kicking up a landslide
Close shave now he's back on the flipside
Stretch taxi gonna fly me to the Hollywood Bowl
It's a bitch Jack when you need some feedback
You hang while they hold you and you never get the ring back
But I like you best when you're down with the rest of us
I just want to move ahead
I just want to free myself - but it's a struggle
I just want to stay in bed
I just want to be myself - but it's a struggle
Milk the mailboy you just might get some insight
Knock it back Jack you're faded but you're alright
Make sense of this mess I'm just taking the piss out of you
I just want to move ahead
I just want to free myself - but it's a struggle
I just want to stay in bed

Is there something on your mind
Does that something now reside
Is it eating at your soul
Will your heart mend the hole
Will the wicked pain replace all your shame
Or is it the same solitude
Reality, well it don't come free
Rate your dignity as it should
Did the rotting fame of decaying days
Bring you to your knees where you stood
Self democracy breeds hypocrisy
Reflected vanity sure looks good
Play as role as fate consumes you whole
Deny it if ya could
What's the toll can you save your soul
Halleluiah if ya could
Is there something on your mind
Is there danger deep inside
Is it eating at your soul
Do you think you'll loose control
Will the wicked pain replace all your shame
Or is it the same solitude
Reality well it don't come free
Rate you dignity as it should

Ima make it im a g since a child I been in these streets
Hustling tryna make ends meet its plenty mo niggas jus like me
Trapped behind violent shit right from wrong they didn’t learn dat shit
Pitchin moves that’s all they learned cook it up but don’t let it burn
Gota make this money the best way we kno how
Cause aint nothing funny when they cut the lights out
Mamas always workin n daddy hes gone been tired of the struggle so god took him home
Understand stuff we go through barely even got clothes or shoes
Forgive me god but that’s all I kno wheres the faith when I need hope
No one got us right, that’s y I was up all night
Getting harassed by the cops 50 deep on the block
Slamin me down in front of the folks cause I supply wat they smoke
The street was open, so I went that’s the only way how it made since
If I didn’t then I would starve n maceo wouldn’t b no star
Older brother kep me in line gave me advice told me grind
Get yo money nigga fuck them hatas block em out nigga get this papa
Live it up we stack this cash fed time if they bust our ass
Street nigga know how I fell maintain and keep it real
Street nigga know how I fell maintain and keep it real
Chorus2x
This is for the streets 2x
This is for the hoods this is for the blocks
All these crooked cops
This is for the brothers that always gota hustla day in and day out gota make it through the

Real motherfuckers man
You gotta hustle just to beat the struggle
I know
[Fed-Ex:]
You couldn't fuck with me
If we was runnin' trains together
Heard you keep your heat under your pillow
OK whatever, you's the victim
In and out of jail was me
Frontin' drugs to thugs
So who else could it be
I let the nine fetch ya
Bitch nigga, you catch the stretcher
I'm all about perfection
I run more blocks than you ran
When they was dumpin' you was actin' like a scared man
I boosted up my prices
Like the price of power
Or the cost of gas
We get money by the hour
Move fork on a hustla
I was raised that way
Young thugs on the block
Been out there all day
Catch me hustlin' in the rain feelin' pain that way
[Chorus: x2]
You gotta hustle just to bet the struggle, I know
You gotta bust down doors
Go and get it for doe
Don't nobody wanna see you live
You know why?
Cause everybody wanna see you die
And that's real
[Fed-Ex:]
All the way in New York
Cali on my plates
Funk Master Flex hit the tunnel for a day
Giving depth to them big stack holders
Dirty money folders pushin' valves on the corner
Cracks under they tongue
Garlic's on they shelves
Bodies on they guns
Chickens in the business
Celebrate when they done
Through the light like it's green
In my Benz, roadies fiilin' my team
Hittin' weed that's the? off my jeans
California dream, and I'm livin' it up
Up in Vegas at the magic show blowin' a buck
Spittin' more in niggaz' face
Then the police done laced
I'm a boss at the top of the list
Come fuck with me
Drug indictment, how could it be
Got runner's pushin' crack
Got runner's pushin'? than me
[Chorus]
[Fed-Ex:]
To all my G's up in a duffle bag
How would you approach it?
With your demo with your gun out
Barrel already smokin'
Never A-rab with this rap cat down on the floor
Or push it off on the North Star on highway 4
Reckless drivin'
A grown man locked in the trunk
Fed him a sock for lunch
Or a hog, tying him up
Yeah you know
The type a shit that happens in the ghetto
Heavy metal get pierced if you ain't careful
And that's real
I seen as the shit go down
Like being locked in a box
Buried under the ground
We do it mob style
And I swear that on my kids
If you come searchin' for clues and get did

[Fed-X]
You couldn't fuck wit me
If we was runnin' trains together
Heard you keep your heat under your pillow
OK whatever, you's the victim
In and out of jail was me
Frontin' drugs to thugs
So who else could it be?
I let the nine fetch ya
Bitch nigga, you catch the stretcher
I'm all about perfection
I run more blocks than you ran
When they was dumpin' you was actin' like a scared man
I boosted up my prices
Like the price of power
Or the cost of gas
We get money by the hour
Move fork on a hustla
I was raised that way
Young thugs on the block
Been out there all day
Catch me hustlin' in the rain feelin' pain that way
[chorus x2]
You gotta hustle just to bet the struggle, I know
You gotta bust down doors
Go and get it for doe
Don't nobody wanna see you live
You know why?
Cuz everybody wanna see you die
And that's real

400 G's in a duffle bag
How would you approach it?
Wit your demo wit your gun out

[Verse 1: Izzy G]
May 21st my mama gave birth
I was growing up in the city
with the shitty, places where you didn't not
remember any faces with no free spaces
I was 5 years old when my dad left me ice cold
then to myself I told I ain't gonna fold
I'm gonna survive this shit, I ain't gonna quit
I was playing cool, cause I never went to school
I took a tool, and broke the rule
I was a fool
I was seven years, but I never dropped any tears
I lived with my mom and my older brothers
who was growing up one after the other
we still live in this got damn world
like I told I was never seen and heard
I though that I deserved to be heard
[Verse 2: Chill Daddy]
me and Izzy G are up in this bitch
to show ya bitches we got luv for this ish
ridin in da house with clothes from bathing ape
but let me tell ya bitches bout these dayz
it's all good in da neighbourhood
i'm misunderstood, couse I ain't like Robin Hood
get the money for myself like I should
when im stealin from the rich, don't snitch bitch
[Verse 3: Izzy G/Chill Daddy switch]
Izzy G:
Days were passing by and I wanted to die
I didn't own a shit, nothing was mine
I started with the crimes, I crossed the line
God gave me a sign, so I started writing rhymes
Chill Daddy:
What a life? It's hell sometimes
Struggle with the cops for doing crimes
On the first page, of the New York Times
You'll see in my eyes that I'm havin' hard times
Izzy G:
Our music is fresh like bone with flesh
don't try to fake it, cause you'll never make it
Chill Daddy:
You'll never found a sound like cj's n brown's
