alvin shema - Beauty In The Struggle Lyrics

My og told me I'm the hardest youngin' out, that's a fact I dont know nobody doin' what I'm doin' bro
Hours in the studio like hours in the lab, I be cookin everything just put your order on my tab
Excuse my manners cause at first I didn't introduce, it's young shema coming for your neck just like a noose
Age 11 I became my own manager selfmade baby we just not the same caliber
I see some niggas that be movin' like you owe 'em some, stickin' out they hands what you want? A f*cking manicure?
All I needed was some guidance from above now I'm headed towards greatness with the people that I love
I swear it's beauty in the struggle but my elegance is rough and I like that
I feel like Carlos in Madrid I'm goin' right back, back to my roots this how I really be
This shit a passion imma do it till I'm 53
And I been studying the greats, I been lookin' at the Hova's and the Drake's
I been lookin' at the Wheezy's and the Ye's
I'm grateful for the way that I was raised
My father taught me how to be a man, my mother taught me how to be a lover and a friend
Now I gotta go and get it livin' off a second chance, that's some real talk
Heavy is the head that wears the crown so it's only kinda right the devil tryna break me down
But he won't tho, failure is a no go
I'm headed to succces, I'm really farther than the rest and even farther from my best
Yeah
At this point I'm just competing with myself and like a junkie need a hit I need a grammy on my shelf
Yeah I'm handsome and I'm gifted so my cards was fairly dealt
I'm rockin Levi's with the Asics and you know what's on the belt bihhhhh
