Black struggle
Living outside the bubble
Ain’t got no truck, must take the bus
X said it best, Plymouth Rock landed on us
Steve Wonder, so what the fuss
Beep Beep / Beep Beep / Beep Beep / Beep Beep
Shame on you Nino slang crack from a Jeep!
Livin’ just enough for the city
But better off than most what a pity
Paralyzed by fear
Too scared to leave my career
Got bills to pay
So that’s mostly why I stay
If I jump and follow my dream
And my parachute fails as I plummet and scream
Wishing I’d counted my blessings legit
The other grass is greener cuz it’s fertilized with $#!+
But what if I can fly?
Take a chance and try
You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take
You gotta break some eggs before you make cake
Struggle is a hurdle you can’t get around
Get over, get under, or knock that $#!+ down
