lyrics
[Verse 1: Bekah]
I've got so many things on my mind,
Sometimes I don't know where to start,
I'm finding it hard to make the time,
To make shit happen and get on my grind,
So now it's all up to you,
You need to make the first move,
From here on it's only getting better,
Big change, big moves, it's all coming together
[Hook: Bekah]
This is my beautiful struggle,
I know what I gotta do,
This is my beautiful struggle,
I'm doing this just for you yeah yeah
[Verse 2: Cee]
Yo, nowadays I gotta hustle,
Coz working 18 hour days on the daily is not enough dude,
I got big dreams, that damn it, I'mma live up to,
And I believe in me, coz homie you gotta trust you (yes sir),
I'm feeling guilty when I'm sitting doing nothing,
So I'm keeping busy, grinding, with no time for the TV and man,
I'm working 40 plus hours a week,
In a job that ain't take me where I'm needing to be,
So I, stay in the lab, making advance,
Saving my cash and still getting baked with the lads,
And I'm taking the chance, ain't tryina be living miserable,
Big Cee, the dude, most driven of individuals,
Yeah, it's so difficult to keep my cool dog,
Focusing on the plan even when shit get too hard,
What, I still fuck with it, struggle's all a part of it,
And this is my life, my passion and man I'm lovin' it coz
[Hook: Bekah]
This is my beautiful struggle,
I know what I gotta do,
This is my beautiful struggle,
I'm doing this just for you yeah yeah
[Verse 3: Cesar Comanche]
And it's far from finished, when you in this business,
Illest ways, you gotta fight for whatever you got,
Finished days can turn to night if you're ready or not,
There ain't no option to falter or stop,
Any second your bubble could pop,
You develop a jail record or nobody considers you hot,
Tiny tots inherit the right method,
But the rest of us gotta make it work or we destined to rot,
God bless, put you to the test, lest that you know,
Could be the rationale to lest that we grow,
Certain cat took his time to be his best as a pro,
Gotta polish your flow, and the bills you pay depends on the show,
To forgone what you planned to say,
When the time for sleep's only goes away,
For a strength, you walk a pail to pray,
Great you holding on, could begin to flay,
So I can't be long, coz the struggle, great beauty is here to stay
[Hook: Bekah]
This is my beautiful struggle,
I know what I gotta do,
This is my beautiful struggle,
I'm doing this just for you yeah yeah
