[Verse]
This ain't life unless you struggle baby
I mean just look at me, I been through so much trouble lately
God I swear to you—how could I believe
When I'm begging for help from someone I've never seen
Dear Mr. Righteous Man, can I write you man?
I haven't picked up your calls but I sure like it man
Call me back
And if I miss your call again and I fall again
Asking you to help me up when I just gotta crawl again
Up on the walls again, they talk a lot
My game is fame without the pay and I work off the clock
So tell me how fair is it out there?
Im in an elevator looking at you clowns scared
Tryna count stares
But I doubt there's any chance that you could be me
Telling Mama that EBT's gonna turn into BET
And I bet the debt is something that you couldn't forget
But that's life Ma, what's the point if it ain't a test?
They say this ain't life unless you struggle man
I understand, but that sh** ain't messing with my plans
Cuz like you, I got a dream to follow
Spending time making sure these hooks
Are hard enough to beat Apollo
This beat, I eat and swallow
I'm deep, you n***as hollow
Ya'll been shooting for the stars but your crash is 16 Apollo
I demolish 'em
I nail 'em down, no need to polish 'em
Fresh Mint, fresh enough to show you how a college kid
Switch cla**, I'm going from the middle to upper
Life has been a b**h to me, but now she wish I would f** her
I'm so mean, hate to wake you from your sleep
But it's funny ain't it—I'm all that you dream
[Outro]
Now I'm all alone
Are you on your way?
It's been a long dark road
Listen to me when I say
I can't believe that we made it this far
Now I'm standing in the rain
I'm gonna open up my arms
Because I'm ready to be saved
