Struggle In Silence

To appreciate the sun you gotta stand in the rain
To appreciate the peace you gotta suffer the pain
I can't remain stagnant, demanding a change
Between my highest and my lowest so I'm stretching my range
May be the oldest, b ut I'm Frankie Muniz
Toting the trauma of generations past but who cares
Life full of evil and it targets who scared
My spirit broken, I fear that it'll never repair
So deflated, searching for a reason I should stay alive
I clock out of work, could go home but I take a drive
Can't decide if this is worth it anymore
When I close my eyes I fear I won't get many more chances
Apologize if it's depressing you
Guess I should only drop the music that's impressing you
But I ain't holding my breath
They say sleep is the cousin of death, so what's left

Don't you shed tears for me
We all struggle at times
But your struggle ain't quite like mine
So don't you shed tears for me
It's therapeutic to rhyme
Honestly, I don't think that I'm fine
But don't you shed tears for me
We all struggle at times
But your struggle ain't quite like mine
So don't you shed tears for me
Ain't had a reason to shine
May be better if I'm laid in the pine

I really feel like, nobody listening
Constant regret more deflated than the Michelins
On my Ford fusion, in my confusion
I lacked the resolve but sought the restitution
No illusions I'm baring it for the world to see
Harder times I was running now I'm the MC
Aristotle could have wrote a whole book on me, but I got it
Pen to pad this expression one I just can't type
Levels to it, all you heard from me is MC Lyte
It's trite, but no time to appeal
I reflect, I think my wounds starting to heal
Easy to spot a foul when you the son of the ref
Early retirement, not until the promises kept
Cause can't nobody be a better version of myself
Every legend need a little bit of help

Don't you shed tears for me
We all struggle at times
But your struggle ain't quite like mine
So don't you shed tears for me
It's therapeutic to rhyme
Honestly, I don't think that I'm fine
But don't you shed tears for me
We all struggle at times
But your struggle ain't quite like mine
So don't you shed tears for me
Ain't had a reason to shine
May be better if I'm laid in the pine
Eventually, you have to say something
You can't just struggle in silence

Guess I'm supposed to be the son who's breaking the cycles
That mean I gotta navigate it alone
Too many kids 18 getting kicked out the home
They swear the Bible made em do it
They neglecting they wrongdoing
My tenacity intact ain't no losing
When it come to making music I'm a shoo-in
Let it speak for itself ain't no proving
But my silence has really been skewing
What I see of the world, it's different lenses
Way that I been rapping I'm never gon see a pension
Wall between the family crumbling from the tension
Stuck between the hurdles, I stumble in apprehension
I can't mention all of the personnel
Involved in the matter, similar no kiss and tell
So to the people who ain't wishing me well
Send me a postcard straight outta hell

You can send me a postcard
But don't you ever come back around
Send me a postcard
Please stay out of my side of town
You can send me a postcard
And don't expect one back from me
Send me a postcard
Don't you send me no postcard
You can send me a postcard
But don't you ever come back around
Send me a postcard
Please stay out of my side of town
You can send me a postcard
And don't expect one back from me
Send me a postcard
Don't you send me no postcard
