Salymah IV - Struggled Lyrics

Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs
Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs

Notice how the burbs ain't surrounded by liquor
As the world turns and my music gets bigger
Leave my stamp in this world sight seer one love
These vocals intangible goodwills can't be touched
Little rough around edges see why ridaz were so ruff
No reminiscing what was had Tantalus no touch
Started in da hood I can see da bigger picture
If none step up children gone face the consequences
Doves cry Jamil prince ain't no picket fence
Wonder if I'm wronged who'd come to my defense
Aint see what I wanna be I became the recipe
Thank you for listening 2/28 every year
Mission so sacred Ivy no poison round me
Got a degree ain't get it from an IVY LEAGUE
Love ain't just physical it's working throughly
Define it as seeking mercy speaking before ya think

Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs
Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs

Question my mission it's hard to spark a change
Revolutionaries martyred for their own faith
If Simon say jump many will ask em how high
Salymah IV say jump many will ask me why
Been handed a massive torch Olympics 96
At 5 years old knew I'd be of service
Fueling this engine gotta set myself apart
Can't focus on setbacks drive fourth in my car
Synchronicity done brought my dream info fruition
Some will see what I'm doing can not mapout my distance
Hugging me smiling hear em mumble when I leave
Think I ain't hear em or see the trick before the sleeves
Feeling so T.R.3 mix with Tall and Bony
Resurgens Rise up that's the Atl creed
I'm repping them Falcons til the dirt covers me
Don't know their intentions or why they hopping on board
Samurai love Japan can't die by the sword
Bush-ah-doe code living life is such an honor
Rather choose death than to live with dishonor
Protection from evil eyes sacred prayer to my lord protect me

Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs
Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs

Some people want me to need in ways unhealthy
Want these palms stretched out with a bucket straight begging
Aint what pops showed me let me say it for the record
Eyes to the front as I'm stepping on the pavement
Face to face see the skeptics as I catch an interception
Feel alone in my presence guess I'm not really present
On this path bestowed favor tryna stay away from danger
His Jihad maybe one thing hers maybe anger
When some grab Low fruit Strange fruits hang
Every angle has a side even in a frame
Been some struggles on this mission always gotta have grace
With myself as I embark on this journey staying safe
Constantly purify intentions recognize love
The Upper hand always better than the lower one

Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs
Struggle with my mission really had to define true love
Struggled with receiving were they really giving real hugs
