Battles fought lessons learned we just keep it on the griddle

Living life upon the struggle but we never gonna dwindle

Feel the pain accept the hustle it ain't as easy as a riddle

But every challenge is a chance to glow so let your strength kindle

Battles fought lessons learned we just keep it on the griddle

Living life upon a struggle but we never gonna dwindle

Feel the pain accept the hustle it ain't as easy as a riddle

But every challenge is a chance to glow so let your strength kindle

They say life's a struggle we keep pushing on

Underneath the rubble we find a song

Got dreams in my duffle ain't no right or wrong

Yeah, it's a hustle but I stay strong

Raised in a place where dreams often get shattered

But courage in our veins we refuse to be battered

See the world is cold opportunities scattered

But a winner's heart knows success is all that mattered

They say life's a struggle we keep pushing on

Underneath the rubble we find a song

Got dreams in my duffle ain't no right or wrong

Yeah, it's a hustle but I stay strong

They say life's a struggle we keep pushing on

Underneath the rubble we find a song

Got dreams in my duffle ain't no right or wrong

Yeah, it's a hustle but I stay strong

Grew up with nothing but hope and that street knowledge

No silver spoon but possessed an inner college

Everyday's a battle with reality paying our homage

But dreams don't discriminate between Harvard and community college

I remember days when dinner meant some leftover stew

Cold nights no light yeah we've been through a few

Mama struggling, working two jobs just to pull us through

Life ain't no fairytale it's hard and this is true

We all got broken pieces but it's about how you mended

Struggles are like puzzles that we gotta comprehended

It's not about where you're from or how much you can spend

It's all about the hustle and the message you send

They say life's a struggle we keep pushing on

Underneath the rubble we find a song

Got dreams in my duffle ain't no right or wrong

Yeah, it's a hustle but I stay strong

They say life's a struggle we keep pushing on

Underneath the rubble we find a song

Got dreams in my duffle ain't no right or wrong

Yeah, it's a hustle but I stay strong

Born from strife rose from the ashes

Countless nights counting my cashes

The world was cold and unkind but I've outlasted

In the darkness my light never got masked

Making the best of what I got that's how I manage

Life's a canvas pain is another language

In between the lines there's a whole bunch of anguish

Struggle is real we all been famished.
