Every day struggle
Let me introduce Myself it’s Tete & i’m a youngin,
i be flexing & i love stunting
because me & my mom grinded up from nothing
i grew up in a apartment with my grandma & my mother
& my uncles & my aunties .. so my cousins like my brothers.
I use to stay in this basement, it was dark just like midnight, i closed my eyes pretended i’m rich
with all the cars & all the money. I let my money talk till i decided to change the subject.. make my
momma order my food because i wasn’t trying to wait in public. I stayed posted up with a tool
l, i got tired of going to school because the calculator & algebra wasn't buying my clothes & shoes,
wasn't trying to wait to graduate yes they said i was a fool, soon they’ll be screaming out my name. & saying that i'm the truth.
Now I take second looks & i'm always going to school.
My theme is: Your struggle is going to make you grind harder, & think smarter.
