Struggle Season

Yeah, this for the ones they overlook

Let me tell you 'bout the real, uh

Wake up every morning with a dollar and a dream

Pockets looking shallow but the hustle running deep

Mama working doubles just to keep the lights on

Daddy disappeared, left us singing fight songs, yeah

Rent due tomorrow but the check don't come till Friday

Skipping meals so the kids can eat, that's the highway

No cap, we been grinding since we learned to walk

People judge the struggle till they hear the story talk, skrrt

We ain't got much but we got heart

Came from the bottom, yeah we playing our part

They sleep on the poor but we stay awake

Turning pain into power, watch the moves we make

Struggle season, yeah we living it real

Struggle season, you don't know how it feels, let's go

They say money don't buy happiness, easy to say

When you never had to choose between the rent and the plate

We the ones invisible walking down the street

But we got more soul in our shoes than they got in their feet

Diamond in the rough, pressure make us shine

Every setback just another mountain we climb, gang

Poor in the pockets but we rich in the mind

One day they gon' see us, yeah it's just a matter of time, sheesh

We ain't got much but we got heart

Came from the bottom, yeah we playing our part

They sleep on the poor but we stay awake

Turning pain into power, watch the moves we make

Struggle season, yeah we living it real

Struggle season, you don't know how it feels

This for everyone still fighting through it

We gon' make it out, yeah we gon' make it out, it's lit
