THE STRUGGLE By: JC – THE TRUTH – NYC Beat By: Beatjack VERSE 1: I look to my left Then to my right Sitting on the 1 line Thinkin’ bout my life Headed to the ferry boat Flicker tunnel lights All by myself On a New York night. Long day at work Trying to stack Franks Gotta honest job But getting’ paid scraps Barely making rent Trying to represent My last name’s Clark And my first name’s Jeff Two little brothers That I’d give my own breath To see them live a good life I’d face death. Look at the grim reaper Grab him by his neck. Stare at the black abyss And spit text. It’s JC - The Truth I wanna make a deal Take my soul And my life if you will But look through my flesh Keep ya eyes peeled A man shouldn’t have to Endure what I feel. HOOK: It’s all about the struggle It’s all about the hustle It’s all about the fight in the dog Remove my muzzle. I Can’t stop, can’t stop I Won’t stop, Won’t stop I Can’t stop, can’t stop I Won’t stop, Won’t stop REPEAT VERSE 2: Tears down my face Trying to fight em back Got too much damn pain In my chest. Got too much damn hate Man I guess Got too much damn rage Since I left Been seven years Since I dipped from my home Mama’s been dead And my Pop ain’t grown. Still getting drunk Temper like a beast Still getting high Off the endo weed. Praying to you God Speaking from my knees I need more strength To fulfill my dreams. I wanna live normally See my brothers eat One wife, fresh seed New family tree. No enemies To threaten me Eventually. Allies To strengthen me Universally. I need Some kind of sign I’m sacrificing everything On my grind Taking up time With my rhymes, and I Could’ve been a lawyer Doctor or Military Cop But I grab a pad and a pen Cap pop Smack my lips on the mic Can’t stop Sacrificing each testimony I got Just to hear my conscience say to me Jack pot. Locked like a master Combinated gift A miracle, spiritual Dedicated Mick. Street smart, intellect Shines like a lit wick Candlestick dripping quick Need to find a light switch. The most poetic Craft too thick Every track I write for tuner Too rich HOOK REPEAT VERSE 3: You can call me King Kong Gonna make it to the top And I’m not gonna stop Till’ I get shot. Get dropped… We all fall down in the end And I’m gonna fall With my pen locked. Gripped tight Text stocked like livestock Rotating my information Like farm crops. Too much drama Already at a young age… Shit you wouldn’t believe And I’ve survived each. Let me give you a hint I was a street leach But now I speak peace So here’s my dream speech. Work hard, Flap those wings Even when no one can see you Do the right thing. Be a gentleman Be an upperclass woman Keep your goals high If you wanna be something. No frontin’ Goal duckin’ Patience Your time is coming. One life So die happy or not Cause in the end we’re body’s Locked in a dirt box. JC – The Truth Poetic Hancock Won’t stop my plot Until the top notch. Elevated my dedication My obligation Maintaining my patience Relating situations Frustrating … The steps that I face and take To put these fakes That I hate in their place. HOOK REPEAT END
