LexNour Strugglin', I'm tryna find my way Fightin', I'm havin' battles with faith They criticize me and speak on my name But perfect's somethin' that I'll never be Yeah I remember days back as a kid They was hatin', sayin' I was never gonna be nothin' dope (pow) They was sayin' I was never gonna make it They would try to put me in a headlock, had me by the throat (never) They would say I was a little boy, snot-nose Wrong path, I was dodgin' all the potholes Syndrome they diagnosed called Stockholm Goin' through hеll, was walkin' on the hot coals Mama said I was a special case And dеmons talk to those we cannot replace That the world was a hell and test of faith To crown those who would walk to the heavens gates So I'd sit and wait Face to face with those who would try to break my mental state Then take all the hurt and pain and paint barbells I'd use Just to shoulder weight now my strength Got the people askin', like, "Who's stoppin' him? We ain't never seen a nigga this poppin' Without that garbage that be brainwashin' 'em" So every time I get a chance, I'm bombin' the verbal vomit Is tick-tick-tockin' 'em into a coffin Your 15 seconds is up, be Giannis The bucks you chase couldn't chip my commas I digest greats and I paid my homage (yeah) Fuck cheese, what I'm spittin' is nachos Niggas didn't believe I was spittin' the gospel Now they gotta receive, take a swig of the hot sauce Bow and get on they knees 'cause these verses Picasso I won't fold, yes, I got my soul Every bar I throw is a strike, I bowl They won't pin me, no, I won't spare or go Down the path they chose, I'ma bring them home Strugglin', I'm tryna find my way Fightin', I'm havin' battles with faith They criticize me and speak on my name But perfect's somethin' that I'll never be Strugglin', I'm tryna find my way (find a way) Fightin', I'm havin' battles with faith (havin' battles with faith) They criticize me and speak on my name (let me speak on my name) But perfect's somethin' that I'll never be Now I'm a veteran, uh They didn't know they was fuckin' 'round wit' a specimen Many men tried to get me, but my adrenaline Came in so heavy that I was able to take on ten of them Every battle was won, I made them irrelevant The screams loud, the cries of men deafenin' I told 'em all I was sorry and that I'm heaven-sent But if I gotta kill 'em, then fuck it, I'll go to hell again Now I'm straight drivin' it, uh (skrrt) I see demons pull up outside To the left and the right, tryna get up inside So I gas every beat and let 'em know what I'm vibin' with Don't give me that paper, I'm not signin' it I see the evil, you niggas ain't disguisin' it I'm sick wit' it, not talkin' about sinuses If they wanna puppet, I'm throwin' a peace sign to it Ate the hate, then put it the game in reverse Built a base, engaged and through the flames I emerged (go) Grabbed the gates of hell to close then turned To the devil's face, and said we are adjourned Every cell and each and every single nerve In my body jumped as I began to purge Then I hit the bend and sped around the curve To the sign that said, "Return back up to earth" Now they haunt me, can't get up off me Wakin' the people up like some c-c-c-coffee Devil knows what I'm doing so he tryin' to stop me Braking the chains of mental slaves On the path less chose, went against the grain Everybody fuckin' knows Dax the next to reign Anybody who oppose burns then heats the flame Throws and seeks the sheep, then begin to change Strugglin', I'm tryna find my way Fightin', I'm havin' battles with faith They criticize me and speak on my name But perfect's somethin' that I'll never be Strugglin', I'm tryna find my way (find a way) Fightin', I'm havin' battles with faith (I'm havin' battles with faith) They criticize me and speak on my name (let me speak on my name) But perfect's somethin' that I'll never be
