Kontender - The Struggle lyrics

[Verse 1] Violent environment changed the kid without acknowledgment Called em bad a** so much thought it was a compliment n***as that he hung with, ain't worried bout no scholarship Instead of steering away from danger, they do the opposite Victim of his environment Hitting licks and doing d** in order make a cent If you hang around something so long you keep the scent Now do that make sense gotta hop over that fence I bet the gra** look greener, desserts taste sweeter Ballin' like seniors when you driving in ya beamer So I made a choice to get up out my situation I touched down in Florida, feel like a vacation Working part time, going to school, life alright I'm looking up at the stars thinking bout my flight To Jacktown, where a youngin' was raised My momma told me there would be brighter days So I made a decision to get out my neighborhood And do something with my life that would bring good I never really follow my own advice But this time I woulda made the same decision twice [Hook] I ain't never giving up, I done sacrificed too much There ain't no way I'mma quit I got so much on my mind, they wanna see me fall But these haters can't tell me sh** There ain't no way im staying at the bottom (x4) [Verse 2] Life's a b**h with nice curves that we wanna feel I don't love materialism but I love the feel All you know at the bottom is M.O.B., M.O.E. smashing P.Y.T. till you d-i-e Effects of the environment System got us trapped man f** the government That's why they say you gotta use ya brain to get out Got em thinking damn man is he really from the south I'm in a new state, but still know where I come from When these songs drop, streets burning like napalm I don't get bothered by haters opinion Saying things hoping my mom don't pay attention Maybe if she judge me I'll second guess my intentions Same mindset that keep me out of school detention Looking back on how much I changed since I was younger Gotta make it out the bottom shout out to my brothers [Hook]
