The Struggle
[Verse 1:D. Ciano]
I get so caught in these thoughts, it's taught to prolong
As true as it gets, I'm losing my grip tryna hold on
But it's tough, going through hell when you're no Spawn
Sallie Mae blowing up your cell like Gohan
Left my city once I saw how bad the envying gets
They hang like gangs, ya own Blood'll treat you like Crip
How lethal I spit… tho this is GOOD music I'm embodying
This type of flow ain't common, I'm far from Lonnie Lynn
In all these righteous songs, I write the wrongs to right the wrongs
Rehearsing conversing intricate verses with a microphone
After their hype is gone, the dark'll show my light is strong
So blinding that I'm finding that's why I'm spending some nights alone
Don't wrestle or question the message… the lesson'll come, Brock
Or what not, the people fear you being Big as 1 Pac
Saw success through my pupils once this proctor was given one shot
But It's awkward, this author still has Chakras he needs to unblock
[Chorus: Tracy Nicolette]
1+2 never equals 4, silver spoons never feed the poor
Everything isn't what it seems
What does the struggle really mean?
All I have ain't all I got, Sun still sets, if the clock stops
Everything isn't what it seems
What does the struggle really mean?
[Verse 2: D. Ciano]
What I showed you was unconditional, you know the consistency that could last
But you held back on our future cause you got hurt in the past
And it happened so fast, yet it left me so torn
My love for you is still present, just my presence is gone
Your exes made you cynical, so only my mistakes were visible
How pitiful, having your teammate go against you too
Being taken for granted we've both been there
So why create the thickest of tension from out of thin air
Raising your voice but got the details wrong
I swear that choice make me wanna call her a female dog
But, I'm too respectful, and yet, Did you forget? I'm here to help you
Now This falls timing's Carl Thomas, I wish I never met you
Cause it's hard to even bring your name up
You were supposed to stay down until we came up
I know the rain sucked, but your mindset effected what was meant to be
And now I get to see someone enjoying what was meant for me… the struggle…
But I love you
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: D. Ciano]
Caught myself stuffing my face, but forgot to say my grace
And well, the bigger picture is I've started losing faith
I know.. such a disgrace, I know I'm here for something greater
But I've seem to let temptation, distract me from my maker
Yea.. It's hard to be in this world, but not of it.. I discovered
There's insurance for Saints but I'm not covered.. because it's
This thing called lust, and I love it, I love it
Plus at times those tithes not in my budget
But it's never too late, to pray and ask you
To detach me from these material things I'm attached to
Creationism vs evolution, that there's pollution
Dividing believers while non believers think we're stupid
I went to service, cause as of now I can't accept my fate
But are they more concerned with what quest I take or the collection plate
Despite my obstacles, the Lord knows my heart
I just hope I find my light on this path before it's dark.. the struggle
[Chorus]
