QuESt - Struggle Rapper lyrics

Ft. Melat (Intro) Wa**up wa**up, er'body! As you all know, Jermaine Dupri so so debt Posted Survival of The Freshest Rap Battle Tour to end last year Now we wanna thank everybody for comin' out Er'body for showin' they support Here's the deal I watched videos from all the contestants And I've chosen one who I think is the best It's the homeboy QuESt from Miami So QuESt, you on yo way to Atlanta Southside studios and get a track by me for your Demo deal! (Verse) And all I hear is 'QuESt you got the talent, so tell me why you aint blow, n***a?' Dont even know n***a, matta fact, I know I just hate to admit that I made mistakes in my past I wish I had the chance to erase Industry be treated like a relay and every night I replay Situations where it could have been on, n***a Masonry is still f**ing with my dome, n***a Whats even worse is that my 11 Gs they gave me To compensate for the loss, I blew in less than seven months, n***a Imagine coming back to what happened with JD After bragging to everyone, like n***as bout to pay me Nineteen, thinking like this is the sh** I work for I cried myself to sleep for three days straight, no h*mo f** it! Back to these rhymes, no wasting time on the could have been Or shoulda been, just spit my struggles till Im maxed out I black out, five tapes dropped in less than a year or 2 A buzz I felt would place me amongst the hottest But nah, n***a! Sit ya black a** down! You in the same situation with your black a** now One of your projects could have got you the shine that you revered But you dropped it, and like an idiot just f**ing disappeared I was young and stupid, plus no type of a**ist or direction A proper representation, no plan to keep me a method sh** it, Im hard headed Would think that I would learn, but did it again twice Like it was nothing of my concern Struggle rapper, what are ya after!? Ever since 7even I looked to heaven, dont let it happen! My barber gave me free cuts, told me if you aint rappin', forget it Im f**in' taxing, no asking Thats why my pa**ion has never been lacking Im looking for some answers! When n***as that you started with seem to master the art of it And climb beyond the stances Reminiscing when Kendrick was prepping on dropping OD When Cole released the warm up, but on my mama I had cold feet Fast forward a couple years later, you see the time pa** Like what progression have I made, excuses made At some point my jealousy ragin' When I should be lookin' inside But I dont want to face it, save it! Plus Im dealing with life sh** Like how the f** Im finna pay my life sh** Support a 9 to 5 or full time just rhyme sh** Choking on this music while it has me in a Heimlich The same that saved me can destroy me, what a science You dont get me up, but twenty two and in my mommas house Barely graduated, f** is college when the dramas out Fired from my recent job and filed for unemployment Pay a bill to silence scrutiny and bring about enjoyment This music is only real if you can somehow pay the bills And I aint eatin' wortha' sh**, but in time I know I will You can tell that to the woman who brought your life in this world Supporting you while you chasing dream and s** with your girl In your little brothers room while hes sleepin' out on the couch I feel embarra**ed to even let it come from out of my mouth, damn! (sh**'s real) And thats just only half of the story Ill take you back to '07, sh** is true When I was kicked out, spent my last 20$ on a cool In the course of 5 years, I returned to where I left from Acquired the desire, and lost it faster than redrum Dont even fret a piss when I hear these rapper you dis' Like they got it! And Im the one that was slept upon and just missed I dismiss that Peace to the n***as getting their kit kat No love and showing hate, thats how a b**h act I swear Ill never get that But wont even lie I wish that it was me Half of these n***as take for granted what they see Thats why when n***as get multiple chances to do it right And fail to follow up, it makes me sick to my knees Struggle rapper, what are you after This could be beautiful, or turn into a great disaster Truly my calling, I just hope I didnt miss it If I did, god tell me or just leave a lil message Im stressin' on a certain when certainty lies at fate And my faith must lie on yo labor Forgive me now for sinning, but ache a**ist the behavior Sometimes I get the holy ghost like Jesus is my savior Turn around and doubt the path you lay for me to walk your favor A human with a dream of rhyming Music is changing so much I barely notice the climate Maybe my image needs improvement Maybe Im doing too much on my own And need to drop some of this weight on my team for me to get known Im my own label, my own publicist, my own composer My own engineer, a lone soldier I got to keep me motivated Everybody I know has made it Struggling the most in a circle full of personal favors You know I spit it from the heart n***a Its been like its from the start n***a The only thing that I was taught n***a Honesty the policy and choice, so know your part n***a For real, you joke about it but I wake up having nightmares Lack of recognition, thirty plus, recitin' white tears Im torn, meanin' my thoughtsll never give me my shot of where I want to be Looking at my peers and feeling low within economy Pissed off, gazing in the mirror, hardly sleeping Missed opportunities haunting me Fighting from resentment, my wife is strugglin' to call me Breaking the T.V. when the Grammy's show and Im not part of it Thats why I got to hustle The nightmares feel as real as the dreams, stand clean with a lot of muscle Even the thought of becoming worthless is motivation So f** you to whoever thought in they soul hating Struggle rapper, just dont become a struggle rapper Whatever you after, dont waste your time and become a laughter The fans turn into a blind motivation But I still understand, it takes time, no patience Though, this is everything I saw Nothing else besides me and these motherf**ing flows I need this one chance, and I promise I will show Everyone who seem to tell me what I already know (Outro) What are you after? What will you sacrifice? No matter what you choose Don't let em see you die
