A Man's struggle

A Man's Struggle



A struggle of a man, this is a man's struggle

A man becomes a better man it seems in the midst of trouble

It's seems like survival of the fittest in this crab barrel hustle

We grow up being prostitutes of I trust you, and pimps of I love yous

They shove you, beat you down, and tell you to bottle up hurt

Stereotyped before we even gasp for air at birth

Don't even know my worth, because I never had a model

In the other direction it seems that fathers be full throttle

So theres no one to follow, little men internally wallow

Mommy can't teach him how to be a man so by the world he's swallowed

Feeling so hollow so he fills a soul that's Idle

Players,gangsters,and sports stars, all these false Idols

Worshiping these gods, can turn you into a devil

There power you starve for, so with that they fed you

Telling your vision lies, we think our truth is televised

With hell in our eyes, looking for a heaven kind of high

My brethren I see demise,unless we break this cycle

Busting seeds and leaving leads to a world of trifle

A fatherless boy leads to so much disaster

There is hope from P.O.P.,a God fearing bastard

You see I challenge myself and the sperm donor of me

This Muthaf***n apple has fallen far from that tree

But I'm free of any excuses, because I account for me

I have a free will to be better than what I see

Or what I have seen, yes I love to dream

I strive for legit money and no cons and schemes

Redeemed as men we can be, if we raise our daughters and sons

So they can be a lil more prepared when the struggle comes

Thank God for Jesus, can't depend on NO man

My true father showed me who I really am

Spiritually I'm thriving, the flesh is dieing

Don't know if I'm the best man, but lord I'm trying

Brother its gonna get a lot worse before it's gets better

Let's teach the young soldiers, prepare them for the weather

I seen my mother beat, brother jailed, and my peoples dissection

A revolution starts with that mirror's reflection

Feel a mans struggle, Feel a Man's wrath

Maybe it would be an easier path...

If we stood by our better half?



Love you Mother,



Your struggle is my struggle



P.O.P.
