Everyday Struggle - Remix
[Intro: DJ Premier scratching]
Hip-hop
Hip-hop
Struggle-, struggle-, struggle to survive
[Verse 1: Hayden Forbes]
It started with the graduation of 2001
That’s around when my father’s many problems had just begun
Ended high school in a relationship with my soon to be mother
When two years go by they’d have me and my little brother
He knew he couldn’t take it, he became my favorite deadbeat
He was around for those who needed him, everyone except me
It hurt me, especially when he was demanded greatly
So when it came to escapes, I found mine through rappin Shady
Marshall was all the Mather-ed, I was a hardcore Stan
Cause he could relate, I felt purely connected to that man
Now where I stand in life is that his label I want to be signed
But I’ll keep dreaming that dream cause all my wishes are denied
I’ve dealt with all the verbal assault, so many times that I have cried
For all my friends have told me truth, for all my friends have told me lies
[?]
I wish I was rich, I would help out those who mean the most to me
For now, I’ll keep writing and see how the shows go for me
So I sit and pray every day, struggling for a rap career
But most important of all, I wish my brother was sitting here
[Chorus: Royce da 5’9”]
Instead of wantin' to change everything about me
How come you can't just be the change that you want to see?
You can question whatever you want but never my hustle
Or my everyday struggle, my everyday struggle
Everybody that's complainin' about it not an OG
If you ain't droppin' jewels or givin' knowledge to me
How can I even respect you? Better yet, how can I trust you?
That's my everyday struggle, my everyday struggle
[Intro: DJ Premier scratching]
Hip-hop
Hip-hop
[Post-Chorus: Hayden Forbes]
Money and the doubters, that’s my everyday struggle
Bullies and the shouters, that’s my everyday struggle
