The Struggle Is Real by Keyontay Lyrics
(Intro)
(Chorus)
Okay I'm always on the Block always on the Move
God prepare me for the next thing that I gotta do
About to go to war I just call it life, ain't much of a deal
All these fiends and Bottom Feeders told em that the struggle is real
(Verse 1)
All-I ever wanted was to get my family out of the hood
Get my uncle off of licks and make sure he knows my intentions are good
Ashes to ashes
Best intentions for my cousins Sophie and Cassius
Cause the time I could of used to teach you wright from wrong is gone like some dust swept from under a mattress
I just want y'all to know my art
Know my heart
Know I've been grinding from the very start
I've been tryna find connections
Walk the right direction but my problems cut me off like an intersection
Switch lanes before you crash
An honest living's how I plan to make this cash
My music's how I cope with my sorrows I stay true to myself revealed no mask
For a minute I was in a disposition
Nothing to eat but noodles in the kitchen
Got a hundred problems I'll be damned if anybody listens
Many snakes up in the grass but you don't ever here them hissing
In other words you don't know what they say behind your back
Loyalty is something many people out here lack
Was a good for nothing fat kid I ain't never going back
I plan to make it out the hood cause I ain't really bout the trap
While I'm dedicated educated
A steady grind up in the mix is some how correlated
Clear mind never catch me faded
Yes I'm obligated
To lead my people to the promise land like Abraham because eventually they made it
For my title of a rapper yes I feel degraded
But it's all facts from my poetry and hopefully I was able to demonstrate it well
If somebody asks
I'm from lakeshore the first letter's the only time I'll willingly take the L
(Chorus)
I'm always on the Block always on the Move
God prepare me for the next thing that I gotta do
About to go to war I just call it life, ain't much of a deal
All these fiends and Bottom Feeders told em that the struggle is real
(Verse 2)
Going places God is gracious thank you lord for everything I said amen
Started out with a mind to rhyme and a sheet pen
Took the mike and my feeling's recited
Good beats and good vibes invited
But I'm too lit right now like a flame I think I'm ignited
In other words I'm a still sustain myself while I got this oxygen
Now take it back to days when broski moving packs and not a lot of guap too spend
But all things must come to an end
Growing up where the police is just looking for Daddy so the trap is not what I'd recommend
It's a falsely advertised mainly victimized type of a trend
Just know it's connections when you see me on my phone and someone I'm calling up
Not one of my family members graduated college and my siblings balling up
Tired of shorty's at 5 '2 saying if you ain't 6feet you ain't tall enough
So through the violence and the gang affiliation and God is the one that we only trust
In this music industry I do and I don't belong because I do know my worth
Saying you love God you smile inside the building and getting high right after church
You get involved with some other spirits when you say you trying to get connected with the Earth
I believe in demons lurking in the shadows that see you working hard and want to put you in the dirt
(Chorus)
I'm always on the Block always on the Move
God prepare me for the next thing that I gotta do
About to go to war I just call it life, ain't much of a deal
All these fiends and Bottom Feeders told em that the struggle is real
(Chorus)
Okay I'm always on the Block always on the Move
God prepare me for the next thing that I gotta do
About to go to war I just call it life, ain't much of a deal
