[Intro]
One
Yeah
Yeah
[Hook]
Fuck the fame, I'ma give my music meaning, yeah
Fuck a chain, I'ma give my niggas freedom, yeah
Fuck the game up and split it with my people, yeah
Switch the plays up, we finna take the season, yeah
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
[Verse 1]
Barely make the cost of living
Got my bosses bitchin' while I'm washing dishes
Called my girl and told her that I got's to quit it
Then pop my CD's out the trunk like I'm Percy Miller
In the mall with it, or your block with it
Bumpin' Jonah when you hit the parking lot with it
Niggas tellin' me by now I should be poppin'
Like leavin' from the hood, ain't nothing good that I accomplish
So many times I could've found the goddess
So many days I fed my fam, I'm slingin' that CD that I put time in
No pressure, you don't have to buy, you'll just miss the wave cause I'm on these rappers ass like when children misbehave, yeah
I said I would do it, they ain't believe me
I know you see me movin' no nut like Georgia Weezy
Golden elevators, I took it straight up, I had to leave ya in the lobby
How this go from a hobby into believers, nigga?
[Hook]
Fuck the fame, I'ma give my music meaning, yeah
Fuck a chain, I'ma give my niggas freedom, yeah
Fuck the game up and split it with my people, yeah
Switch the plays up, we finna take the season, yeah
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
[Verse 2]
Yeah
As I grew up this music was all I had
Losin' faith in my mama, too many problems with dad
The only thing that heals me in times that I'm feelin' sad
Spending hours in my room all alone with a pen and pad, huh
My teacher caught me writing raps in class, suspended for three days cause she couldn't understand
That a gift was manifested, might be a curse and a blessing depending on how you use it but the hurt, my shit was bad
The language and violence, I can't believe that I found this
Drug dealer, pimpin' women, boy, what you know about it?
I told her that I'm paintin' a picture of my surroundings
Public housing, police show up after couple hours
A hypocrite, you think that I should watch what I say
Last week you taught me Shakespeare, this shit is the same
This is vanity shame, tragedy, laughter, and rain so my profanity actually is an action of pain, so when I say
[Hook]
Fuck the fame, I'ma give my music meaning, yeah
Fuck a chain, I'ma give my niggas freedom, yeah
Fuck the game up and split it with my people, yeah
Switch the plays up, we finna take the season, yeah
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
It's been a beautiful struggle, my nigga
[Outro]
If you gonna get into something, you get prepared, you gotta do something, G (Mhm)
You know and you gotta-you gotta, you know-it's just real, it's timing
You know, I mean, I tell you all the time I ain't on my time, we on boys time (Absolutely)
So, have Lebron James, one in the field, [?], you gotta go practice, work on your jump shot
Work on you game
I feel like boys now need to spend their time in the studio instead of partying
Now my thing is, sometimes you gotta look at it like how far you wanna go
My thing is, independence, I thought that this was an avenue that I was able to open up and create and still be able to empower our own people in the community, so I just think that we just have to figure out how far we wanna go
(Ordinary)
