The Struggle

Growing up this dream was all I had
I was gonna grow up make my dad proud
I was nothing but a kid growing up all sad
Cause I couldn't make a friend or live a day without my mom mad
But I learned that I'd never give up
I endured too much to go die without a bit of love
Just a dream nothing real
I don't give a fuck
And I ain't about to stop until I've had enough
Now you know where I'm coming from
See I'm going to a war where I don't need no gun
I'm a stranger to this world but I'm having fun
Write another song just to top off the last one
Grade A to the z bro I'll be the greatest
See you in ten years for my best hits
I don't even fucking know when I wrote this
No shit that's my head that I deal with
Gotta couple hundred problems with the rhythm of my mind
I know with some dedication it will be just fine
I will make it to the top it's not that far of a climb
Never sorry for the ones who had to fall behind
Couldn't follow couldn't stick to the rhythm
Of the vision of our youth so I had to make a living
Sorry to my boys had a dream since eleven
Of a life where I'm going on tour again
Oh this again?
Yeah this again
Never really had a problem till the shit began
So don't ever tell me "you're arrogant"
Cuz I know baby don't mention it
When a homeboy says you can take me as an ally
Bro don't trip if I hate you if you told lies
I'm so sorry shit I fucking suck at goodbyes
Cuz the struggle is the coffin when the band dies

Tell me how can I make it far
Tell me how to breathe without my heart
So the struggle got me out of my control
I cannot let my dream rip up my soul
Hey there Dad can you see me now
What if I lose my voice or my back gives out
Maybe then I'll find out turning back the time
That I can build my dream with every rhyme

Okay yeah I striked out once won't happen again
My bad I let bad people in
But I'm all grown up won't trust anymore
In the Hexagon we're not gullible
So I learned that this is supposed to be
A once in a lifetime opportunity
To convey my thoughts accordingly
Cause I haven't done that much lately so
Here's to you if you were a fan
I'm not done yet with the metal plan
Getting work every day for cloud creator
And the new Held stuff will be coming later
I'm a hip hop guy, in a metal band
With a dream in my head and a big ol' plan
To get out of the shit that I call a town
Doing shows every night till I fucking drown
In the bills and the cars and the drugs and the bars
In the lights and the fights and the sound of applause
From the weight of the world falling down on my head
And the voice that keeps saying I'm better off dead
Am I better off dead?
Bro I'm about to see red
So don't ever tell me that you know the jail I'm locked in
Never learned to question bro I'll make it happen
I'll be sticking to the beat like I created duct tape
And I know you gon hate never get in my way
Never grab ahold of me I'm digging out of Shawshank
Never really fucking mattered what I had in my bank
Cause I always had a dream that I would make it one day

Growing up I thought I'd never get a shot
To become someone and make my way up to the top
In the Hexagon I promise we will never stop
Trying to change the world every chance we got

So Don't think I can't change the world
I ain't turning my back I'm a man of my word
Imma be the voice to let the hurt be heard
Tell me I fell off I just chose my herd yeah
I'm the same as I was before
Working all alone all behind closed doors
With a knife in my back Imma make a new path
Fuck that you know never fuck with Matt

Tell me how can I make it far
Tell me how to breathe without my heart
So the struggle got me out of my control
I cannot let my dream rip up my soul
Hey there Dad can you see me now
What if I lose my voice or my back gives out
Maybe then I'll find out turning back the time
That I can build my dream with every rhyme

Grade A, to the z bro I'll be the greatest
See you in ten years for my best hits
I don't even fucking know when I wrote this
No shit that's my head that I deal with
Gotta couple hundred problems with the rhythm of my mind
I know with some dedication it will be just fine
I will make it to the top it's not that far of a climb
Never sorry for the ones who had to fall behind
Never sorry for the ones who had to fall behind
Fall behind
Fall behind
Oh fall behind
I'm never gonna fall behind
Yeah
