This is a song about "Being in the struggle"

Never expected to stumble but was learning from the struggle

But don't expect a ring if you committed to the hustle

Just for me being weird in the past/

To reds i ain't know how to act

Them niggas lack bars like underground when their celly ring

The struggle of living in context is a giving

Tryna get inside your mind without that night shift

It's odd being in the same room, with the man i killed,

Of being trapped with no way out are common in the ghetto,

Yeah live from the soho, and hov told me i'd blow joe

But the blessing was in the struggle, hope was merging through the rubble

Feel like the only rapper that look at you with no trouble

In the limelight being red hot

I'm wale, the new nigga on the block

As long as when the check came they got first dibsnow brenda's belly is getting bigger

Think of myself in third person and imagine being the simple onlooker.
