Struggle - Intellectual

[Chorus: Bchamp]

Have you ever seen the struggle?

Money so low, dreams so high, got my pockets so dry

But it won't stop me, because I'm on the double

Nothing's stopping me with my pen and paper writing lines

Stages touched, gave it all and it ain't enough

If they seen the sacrifice, they'd never dare to question us

Overspent the budget, cause the budget was a couple bucks

Wife sending me texts cause she get the feeling something up

Over drafts, dodging calls from a couple banks

They askin bout the loans, that i put into business plans

Hard to understand if your dreams are in the past

I knew I'd do it different since I walked into my acting class

Have you ever seen the struggle?

Money so low, dreams so high, got my pockets so dry

But it won't stop me, because I'm on the double

Nothing's stopping me with my pen and paper writing lines

Dropping mics, i'll live forever if i die tonight

Im getting into character, ain't worried bout a couple lines

Kick a couple rhymes that i hope they might internalize

I won't make it home if no one buys the merchandise

Curtain call, holding breaths hope we hear applause

Thankful for your presence, cause you could of chose to stay at home

Open arms, its love when you sing along

The money gonna come, but this is what we do it for

Have you ever seen the struggle?

Money so low, dreams so high, got my pockets so dry

But it won't stop me, because I'm on the double

Nothing's stopping me with my pen and paper writing lines

[Verse 3: Noble Nobu[

You ever rap with a cold? You ever rap with a fever?

A fan could say "you're so sick!" bruh you wouldn't believe it

I got a show every week, I've hit a couple achievements

I put my demons to bed but brother I haven't been sleepin

I have some rhymes and some reasons to raise the bar every season

I been to bars every season and pray the crowds will be screaming

So I been logging these evenings until I finally break even

So when I break out the gate the bank ain't gonna chase me for speeding

Ain't gonna chase me for speeding

Have you ever seen the struggle?

Money so low, dreams so high, got my pockets so dry

But it won't stop me, because I'm on the double

Nothing's stopping me with my pen and paper writing lines
