Struggles - Hyphen

It’s all my life when I get on this mic

Sacrifice worth more than platinum and ice

And when I get in booth, I let my lyrics ignite

Touch a lost soul with them thoughts on the crossroads

Trying to take his life?

Ignore the false call

I’ve been through the dark and I ain’t fall off

You need a brother on the mic?

I’m your dawg yo!

I know you face the pain, you’re still struggling

Working nine to five, you’re still hustling

You ain’t seen that light, it’s all crumbling

You got a puddle of faith but life is humbling

But we’re living in this life we’re still struggling

Hook: Ace Dirty

Ndatopa ndi kulira, kutopa ndi kulilima

(ifeso tinatopa)

Ndatopa ndi kukwiya, kutopa ndi kudikira

(nafeso tinatopa)

So no negative vibe when we ride

Everything in the dark must come to light

No negative vibe when we ride

Jah know selasi I den pon we side

Verse 2: C-Scripture

Struggles in this life bring pain and experience

I’ve seen the losses and I’ve seen the coffins

Pain in my blood and I feel it often

You lost a loved one?

Then you feel it often

Like God I got a question, why you deepening the pain?

I’m sicker with the flow but I’m sicker in my brain

And how can I contain all these feelings in my head

I light a blunt and smoke it up, I’m drifting in the haze

Pain my experience, love my predicament

Tired of running man, it’s time that I’m feeling it

I know I’m still struggling man, I’m still struggling

All this shit in my life, Lord I’m still struggling

Hook: Ace Dirty

Ndatopa ndi kulira, kutopa ndi kulilima

(ifeso tinatopa)

Ndatopa ndi kukwiya, kutopa ndi kudikira

(nafeso tinatopa)

So no negative vibe when we ride

Everything in the dark must come to light

No negative vibe when we ride

Jah know selasi I den pon we side

Verse 3: Hyphen

I close my eyes to escape this

World full of friends that will turn on you and shapeshift

Sleepless nights, fighting demons that’s faceless

Stuck in a system that’s always testing my patience

I’m reminiscing on the days I was a wild child

I vow to get it all;

wiping sweat off my eye brows

Fell for the music, only solace that I found

Trying to get paid, trying to make my own man proud

I never been a fan of the handouts

Its rooted in my family tree but when we hang out

I know we don’t speak much;

however, it puns out

I hope that they bear fruit wherever they branch out

Hook: Ace Dirty

Ndatopa ndi kulira, kutopa ndi kulilima

(ifeso tinatopa)

Ndatopa ndi kukwiya, kutopa ndi kudikira

(nafeso tinatopa)

So no negative vibe when we ride

Everything in the dark must come to light

No negative vibe when we ride

Jah know selasi I den pon we side

Verse 4: Ace Dirty

Ghetto yufi watopa ndi maluzi

Akusaka money pano aku ponya Gucci

Watopa ndi mandimu akufuna uchi

I’m just trying to show you my life with this music

We been low, stepped on

Zero to hero, we deh pon

In every little struggle is a lesson

Head up ma yut

You afi keep your head up my yut

Never let them see you uku lila

Imilila

Sky ain’t the limit youngster, pitilila

Limbikila, udza panga njira

If you’ve ever seen the struggle wandi fila
