Uh, truth lives in dreams even in nightmares, Give a fuck if you in clarks or in some Nike airs, If you going through it now know it don’t compare, Real, either wisdom or stress brought them gray hairs, One thang about life, if don’t play fair, If you waiting and not working, you gone wait there, Been in the trenches tryna get it through the pain, And my people wonder how I stay the same

Chorus

Trials and tribulations got me focused on the goal, Yeah I do get weak at times, but I’ll never fold, Get fucked over every day, but keep a heart of gold, One day I probably sell the greatest story ever told, And that’s just what I know /

Can’t tell me shit bout who I am if nothing else I know, V2

Picture you putting all of yo blood sweat and tears in to what you feel, For many years just to find out it ain’t what it is, That’s a blow that make u think about the way you give, And what you’ve built, it drain you of it, now you fight to live, Like ain’t no more to give, not even to you, Now you thinking on it more, word ain’t bond, you need proof, Toss and turning in yo sleep, mind restless, you need truth, that’s a pill that you can’t swallow, And too tough to try to chew, So you medicate, deadly habit so you flip it, try to meditate, That last a week, but still no changes and you barely ate, Not to mention life still moving, this a heavy weight, You pray for blessings and abundance, but this heavy plate, Full of shit you wouldn’t dare design, Shit that make you change, and lesser men would prolly let define, Who you become, but you don’t trip you draw a different line, Cause sacrifice is better than renting space in yo mind ... Chorus

Trials and tribulations got me focused on the goal, Yeah I do get weak at times, but I’ll never fold, Get fucked over every day, but keep a heart of gold, One day I prolly sell the greatest story ever told,And that’s just what I know /

Can’t tell me shit bout who I am if nothing else I know, That the rain come with mud, If nothing else I’m
