[Lyric] My Struggle (Lil JJ)

Verse 1: Lil JJ
Knocked on my cousins door, he didn't answer
I walked in he had finally passed from his cancer
I tried not to cry, But in the end That's what I did
From that day, I knew it was me who had to raise his kids
I told em one day "Daddies coming soon"
They went back smiling straight to their room
I hate to lie, but I had to spare their feelings
I just want them to grow up without a life of stealing
Yeah, they just 5, 8 & 10
I pray that one day they'll grow up to win
Yeah, this is my struggle

Yeah, & this is my struggle
I try to ball, But I can't huddle
Life is hard, everyone knows this
Life is hard, I swear everyone knows this
Yeah, my struggle

Verse 2:Lil JJ
Yeah, I grew up, with a deadbeat dad
So if he died at this moment, I wouldn't be sad
He never calls, but when he does he calls me names
He even says that the way I dress is lame
I try not to worry, & go on about my life
Thanks to my father, I'm startin' to hate life
Yeah, when I was 12, I lost my wonderful grandmother
I cried for weeks, even months, I pushed away my own brother
Yes, & even my mother
Even though my grandma gone, I can still love her
Uh

Verse 3: Lil JJ
Yeah, a couple days ago, I witnessed the beating of a family member
She was thrown in the street, in the cold of winter
I found her sleep, in the middle of the street
She was freezing cold, I helped her get some heat
She told me "Jaylin, I'm glad we related"
I said "Girl me too" that was a true statement
Yeah, & when I was 11, I lost My aunt
Dear Lord, a perfect life is all I want
But I know, nothing is perfect
I'd sacrifice my life if it was worth it..
