Struggle Lyrics by Gold’n Buddha

An Animal’s Struggle with Self Love

2016

[Intro: Girl & Buddha]
Girl: I feel like there's a lot about you that I don't know, like you're really deep
Buddha: What you mean?...Like-
Girl: Like tell me about yourself
Buddha: Well, what do you wanna know?
Girl: Tell me anything. Tell me about your early life
Buddha: Aight I got this...
[Verse 1:]
I was born cuz latex and safe sex wasn't something that the big screen portrayed yet
Mom had a crack in her thoughts then would spazz when she talked
And niggas with heart selling white like chalk
But it wasn't over with, moms on that never-being-sober shit
My mom was warping the womb, changed from the dosaging
Had me hearing colors and thinking sounds
You notice it when I rap or I talk my flow just shifts
You know what they say, from the fire to the frier
Or I guess it's more like from the washer to the dryer
From the womb to the prison, prevention for getting higher
I could've died from my birth but I guess I'm just a survivor
My father stepped up he was the ideal provider
When mama couldn't provide because her soul was just tired
I love 'em with all my efforts even when they expire
I respect the hardships that they faced, they made and perspired
But that's on some next shit
What's the next question?
[Post Verse: Girl & Buddha]
Girl: Shit...wow, that's crazy. I wonder why I'm just now hearing this, but do you feel like your family needs you as a provider?
Buddha: I...I guess. I don't know man. Everything is...
[Verse 2:]
I mean I guess they need me, guess they see me
Trying to do this rapping thing so they can be up next on tv
And so they can stop pushing this weight like the back desk at CVS
Accomplishing all the accomplishments accomplish-able
My best tryna trace my way to the top with mad flick, an architect
Basically believing the bastard could put families to bed
Avians attacking, apples turned over is for bread
In other words I'm trying make sure my family can rest
But it ain't never been easy to hustle
And they love the word describing ground, we call it the struggle
Survival of the fittest, the wicked or busy competing we could get eaten over the weakened, no one would see it
No overseers to oversee us, they need to be us
So I walk on water for my family to over see us, I'm Jesus
When I was made a golden globe covered my mother's fetus
And blessed to see a halo, horns and God's features
[Break: Girl & Buddha]
Girl: Wow...I would've never guessed th-
Buddha: No it's not fair! It's not fair that I have to live this way...
[Verse 3:]
Now that's garbage! I'm tired of living in these conditions
I got a vision of me shitting on niggas like pigeons
Everything my family could want I'm in position to give 'em
And I guess because I'm rapping for money I'm just a villain but
I only rap with the intention to change shit
And if money is the way that I do it then bank this!
Jump ship if you can't weather the storm, my brain did
I lost every screw that holds me together, insane shit
I sharpen my temper conveying a message
Some call it a weapon, I call it a blessing
A path to wealth: don't ask for help
I practice to perfect my craft like shelves
Since I was 5 been trying to rhyme because I have no other way of expressing myself
Talking up flames I'm gasping "help!"
Raised unique, so thank the meek
The story is only mine to tell
[Outro: Girl & Buddha]
Girl: I understand your pain but relax yourself please
Buddha: I just!...I just...Alright. Alright. I'm good. I'm good. I think we should have this conversation another time
