Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours

So here I am it didn't happen overnight I had to pay my dues like everybody else in this life
So get a life is what they tell you at first you got to make your own decisions with the music you
Disperse hip hop became a part of my life it was the breaking that started me off doing things right and
Everyday I'd practice so dawn hard I'm pulling moves by precision on point just like a dart picked up
The mic seems I got another talent I was soon to be expressing myself just with every ballad and all kids of
People told me stop but in the end people stabbed me in the back even those who were friends and even at
The studios producers started trippin' tried to make a dollar with gimmicks tried to change my image Au studio
How's that they picked the wrong emcee that's how I made it on my own that's how I made it on my own

Chorus :
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Not gonna bother with the down side 'cause I've been there before traveling up and down these roads
I know when it rains it pours

So here it is seems I got nothing to lose should I lay down and die or should I stand up and fight
Should I say what I believe should I say it and leave or should I go on with pretending and blending with other
Beings now everybody knows that money rules the world without money to make money got to rely on
The skills gotta focus when it's hopeless and block out all the critics and block out all the critics and
Block out all the critics when you're down you're down and when you're out you're out sick and tired of
All those peoples who keep running off their mouth with the hypocritical minds so quick to point
The finger what goes in one ear often goes out the other and it's ruff when no one's watching your back when
No one cares wher

Chorus :
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Not gonna bother with the down side 'cause I've been there before traveling up and down these roads
I know when it rains it pours

Chorus :
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Not gonna bother with the down side 'cause I've been there before traveling up and down these roads
I know when it rains it pours

Chorus :
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Life is a struggle when it rains it pours oh when it rains it pours
Not gonna bother with the down side 'cause I've been there before traveling up and down these roads
I know when it rains it pours
