"EVERYBODY'S GOT A STRUGGLE" Lyrics

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow

(STRUGGLE) The devil tried but I never sold my soul
I still gotta listen to my conscious say I told you so
I paint a picture of the common people, Van Gogh
Most of them fall cause they ain't know what they were standing for
Eviction notice, everything packed into storage
Papa bear broke laws so the cubs could have their porridge
More to the story than what you hear off in these songs
Don't judge a home until you looked inside the window of your own

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got mine though Everybody's got a story everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow

(STRUGGLE) I'm in the dark still feeling round for that light switch
They said that shorty was suicidal till that knife slipped
You think it's bad but it could always be worse
The grass always looks greener, vice verse
My kids deserve a chance cause they ain't ask for this shit
I don't want "our daddy back" written on their Christmas list
So I'ma' finish this by giving it my everything
Know I'm gonna loose the feeling soon so I cherish pain

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got mine though
Everybody's got a story everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow

(STRUGGLE) They said I'm lost, I left my map off in my Levis
I been here before, I recognize the street signs
Don't judge momma less you stood off at her heels
And let your pride fly just so you could pay the bills
Don't judge bruh unless you stood out on his block
And did exactly what he did to put them groceries in his spot
Don't stop reading till you've read every single chapter
Cause it's mind over matter, the sunrises morning after

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got mine though Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow, to grow Everybody got a story everybody got a struggle
Everybody got worries But that's where we grow
Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry Cause you know I got mine though Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry Cause you know I got to grow

WATER INTO WINE Lyrics

(STRUGGLE)
Life took a turn for the better, I'm on the right road
I'm weighed down, I've never carried a light load
A lotta' turbulence, bumpy ride on my flight flown
I cause a light show every time that the fights on
You gotta feel me, it's my life that I fight for
Can't forget where I been, no tellin' where I might go
I was flyin' no string so the kite's gone
Searchin' through the pain in my story for the right song
While the night's long, but the day's gone
She told me she had had enough, just to stay gone
If I could carry more than C notes I'd sing songs
Awards Im'a' bring 'em home
We'll wake up till the dream is gone

(WAYLON)
Fiddle's don't make violins
Hotel rooms don't make homes
Can't turn water into wine
Can't make a rock from a rolling stone

(STRUGGLE)
Papa's a rollin' stone, mamma's a real angel
Walkin' behind untangled the web that I had tangled
Back an forth across the table like ping pong
I'm at the door, you hear the doorbell, ding dong
The smoke's chockin' me, tell 'em clean the bong
You got more obstacles for me to jump, then bring them on
I'm in the field suited up with my cleats on
Tryna' get up out these streets but keep writin' these street songs
The heat's on, it's too hot? Hop up out the skillet
You say you been, if you ain't in it then you can't feel it
I tell the truth in every song so I'm incriminated
This is me goin' toe to toe, I'm not intimidated

(WAYLON)
Fiddle's don't make violins
Hotel rooms don't make homes
Can't turn water into wine
Can't make a rock from a rolling stone

(STRUGGLE)
Fame ain't gon' change me, money ain't gon' make me
Only doin' what you would if you could so don't hate me
I'm carryin' ten times of my weight, it won't break me
I'm somethin' new so they don't quite know how to take me
I'm in a good space, like "fuck what they say" lately
Hatred is an ugly trait an they afraid to face me
You'll never find another me so don't replace me
Embrace me, I'm up against the world, standin' bravely
Maybe just maybe, one day they'll pay me
The respect that I've earned on the daily since the eighties
Over a thousand songs that I may never sing
Cause they tellin' me right now freedom's bell may never ring

(WAYLON)
Fiddle's don't make violins
Hotel rooms don't make homes
Can't turn water into wine
Can't make a rock from a rolling stone

GIVE ME MY FLOWERS Lyrics

(STRUGGLE)
Surf's up, feel like I'm ridin' on a tidal wave
I'll be home put my plate off in the microwave
I do it my way, this is Massbaum
I'ma' make it, take it to the bank, cash bonds
Some of ya'll kept it real the whole time
Others dried up an flaked, pork rinds
Pop a cork time, toast to the lifespan
Burnin' candle an a four five on the nightstand
take flight man, that what my family say
Please don't let him win, that's what the haters pray
I'm in the winner's circle but never won a race
I'm in the right state of mind but feelin' outa' place
They wanna take a shot, shit better aim high
I drove this road so ya' ain't have to take the same ride
This the same guy who sacrificed for ya'll to eat
So tell me how you feel before I rest in peace

Standin' all alone, starin' at the sky
Head in the clouds, wishin' I could fly
The only thing in life that's certain is I'ma' die
So I'm askin' ya'll to gimme' my flowers while I'm alive

(LAURA)
Give me my flowers while I'm still alive
Cause one day you're here then you're gone
The only thing that's certain in life is I'ma' die
So cherish me while I'm still at home

(STRUGGLE)
Heard through the grapevine, but I tried to doubt it
Heard you'd never cross me, shit but you thought about it
You seen a hundred grand, would never steal from me
Said you 'member when I came through with that bill money
It's real funny, facing thirty all alone
I gotta month to the trial, you ain't called the phone
They like to say they know me when they got my G's with 'em
Quick to say they hate me if someone agrees with 'em
The apple look right but gotta' bad seed in 'em
I been bit by these snakes so I bleed venom
I keep grinnin', even in my darkest hour
You say you love me, gimme my flowers

Standin' all alone, starin' at the sky
Head in the clouds, wishin' I could fly
The only thing in life that's certain is I'ma' die
So I'm askin' ya'll to gimme' my flowers while I'm alive

(LAURA)
Give me my flowers while I'm still alive
Cause one day you're here then you're gone
The only thing that's certain in life is I'ma' die
So cherish me while I'm still at home

(STRUGGLE)
Fifty miles an runnin' in the old Lincoln
I told you hop up out the ship when the boat's sinking
I'm the captain, I'ma' die with the Black Pearl
Leave my soul in the bottom of this black world
Lay it all on the line for La Familia
I think I been here before, it's all familiar
Know that I was righteous in my last life
Messed up this go around, trapped in the fast life
With my cash right, an my squad tight
Last night I found myself with a flashlight (hello)
If I die tonight, don't cry them big tears
Just let 'em know what I did here

Standin' all alone, starin' at the sky
Head in the clouds, wishin' I could fly
The only thing in life that's certain is I'ma' die
So I'm askin' ya'll to gimme' my flowers while I'm alive

(LAURA)
Give me my flowers while I'm still alive
Cause one day you're here then you're gone
The only thing that's certain in life is I'ma' die
So cherish me while I'm still at home

ANOTHER PLACE & ANOTHER TIME Lyrics

(WAYLON)
That was another place an another time

(STRUGGLE)
Raised by an outlaw, born to a hustler
Searchin' for my daddy's killer, where's Colonel Mustard
Never knew black an white, only rich or poor
Momma's standin' in the rain, knockin' on the preacher's door
She had problems, had to mend on her own
So she left her little homey at home (yeah)
To fend for his own, fourteen an I'm forced to be grown
I'm at the kitchen table splittin' a zone
Gotta get money
No lights, stay warm, smell the propane
Lookin' through the neighbor's window just to catch the Soul Train
Live by the creed, persuaded by the dope man
I seen lives turn to ashes on a coke can
Still received profits from things that were wrong
The CD was scratched but they was playin' my song
With the clip on the K I'm so bananas
Tryna' hide myself behind black bandannas

(SHOOTER)
There were Kings an Queens on down the line
That was another place and another time
An your memory is splattered on my mind
That was another place and another time

(STRUGGLE)
I feel immortal, ways are so immoral
Fate trapped on tapes in a Federal recorder (yeah)
So force the aura to give ya'll a good vide
No paranoia, constant smiles like a good high
But all the while inside the chamber anger bubbles
Why struggle, hear the pain inside a hustler's mumble
even though it sounds subtle I can still hear it loud
Got faith to move mountains can I move this crowd
I got my goals in clear view I'm headin' for it
But first I gotta' hit these streets an get the bread for it
Feds takin' pictures, but I still move
I might win this round but I'ma' still lose
Ten grand in the bag, brown bag special
Underneath the seat, a thirty eight special
Witness said "sketch 'em", detective said "we'll catch 'em"
Papa's still contestin', but momma said "arrest 'em"

(SHOOTER)
Only mountains an rivers remain
That was another place and another time
Your memory is splattered on my mind
That was another place and another time

(STRUGGLE)
Real life I'm out here fightin' the curse
Real talk, my real life lives on every verse
I'm an outlaw, life has took a turn for the worse
Feel like I'm hustlin backwards like the fifth to the first
But I endure the struggle, I embrace the hustle
With the weight of my hood on my back it's makin' muscle
I'm like a hustler on his last pack, Earnhardt on his last lap
Pac on his last track, It's all on the line
I struggled for a moment in time, now I feel like this moment is mine
(whatchu' say Struggle?)
I struggled for a moment in time, now I feel like this moment is mine
An I'll be damned if I let you throw a wrench in my grind, I'm clenchin' my nine
Be damned if I sit in this line, I wait for no man
It's certain what I got I deserved it, if you try to take it from me then it's curtains
(we'll holler atcha')

(SHOOTER)
Only Kings an Queens on down the line
That was another place and another time
An your memory's are splattered on my mind
That was another place and another time

I know that only mountains an rivers remained
But that was another place an another time
Oh your memory's splattered on my mind
Oh but that was another place an another time

MAMA (Oh Sweet Mama) Lyrics

(WAYLON)
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Don't tell me that I'm really fallin' to pieces
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me

(STRUGGLE)
Jack Daniels tears on a dear Strugg letter
Said she wanted to love me, but I never would let her
Fed up, she let up, let go, got out
Guess I shoulda' got up from the table when she shot out
UH, but I didn't I was sittin' countin' money
Speed limit was thirty five, I'm doin' a hundred
I can hear that train comin' I'm still walkin' on these tracks
Hold up girl where you goin'? Ay, bring it back
I'm out here bout to get it, I know I been gone too long
I'm a vagabond, dreamer, rhymer, singer of these songs
I ain't livin' long like this without you
I can't put these pieces back together without glue

(WAYLON)
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Don't tell me that I'm really fallin' to pieces
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me

(STRUGGLE)
The camel's back's broke that was the last straw
We both throwin' punches, we got glass jaws
It hurts deep cause the love's strong
Damn, my favorite jams is the love songs
So I'm just sittin' here just listenin' to Usher on repeat
While the harder that I pull it just pushes you leave
We supposed to be some grown-ups an this is how we act?
Why you keep walkin' away girl? Bring it back
I'm feelin' like you never really loved me from the start
You can't love me from your purse you gotta' love me from your heart
So even though these times is hard I'm out here grindin'
I'm the King of Hearts baby, not the Jack of Diamonds

I'm not the Jack of Diamonds, baby
I'm not worried about all this money, the money comes an goes
What we got is here right now, that's why they jealous of us
So when they throw salt, let's add flour an make bread
The hate is irrelevant when the love is present
Shut up an tell me you love me

(WAYLON)
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Don't tell me that I'm really fallin' to pieces
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me

CRAZY Lyrics

(WAYLON)
I've aways been different with one foot over the line
Windin' up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from goin' insane

(STRUGGLE)
Outlaw shit four five in my Levis
Got stung gettin' honey out the bee hive
DEA wanna see me locked up
Two lines popped up, old girl's knocked up
Scratch scratch back to the drawin' board scribble
Man down but the ball's in my court, dribble
Everybody wanna rock if they don't roll
Paid that toll without sellin' my soul
This is how the game goes, no I demand more
 Everything you been through in your life is what I stand for
I won't budge, run an tell that
Monkey on my back like the man with the yellow hat
If she curious, call me Jorge
Missed her chance like she came before the four play
Uninvited but I made it through the doorway
Black sheep, no shepperd that's my forte

(WAYLON)
I've aways been different with one foot over the line
Windin' up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from goin' insane

(STRUGGLE)
Momma told me never hit your brakes when it's slick out
Daddy told me always pull your dick out
Still check your chick out, even when I'm with my girl
Cause Jellyroll told me "share picky with the world"
Cashville rider, west side ratchet
Gotta problem with these Feds won't bury this hatchet
They know they wrong an I know I'm right
So we dancin' round an round like a slow Prom night
Click clack bang bang still reppin' A Game
Talk slick, put your shit on the woodgrain
Goddamn man black paint, blue velvet
Blue suede shoes, biggest thing since Elvis
Jailhouse rock, I'ma' hound dog
Still runnin' from your shadow like a groundhog
Won't stand up, thats your downfall
Back at home even if I hit a ground ball

(WAYLON)
I've aways been different with one foot over the line
Windin' up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from goin' insane

(STRUGGLE)
Forty five colt hangin' out of my denim
Find out where it hurts then I hit 'em
Got pitbulls, sick sick get 'em
But they said I'm wrong for the way that I did 'em
Shit, hop off of the boat afloat, no stow aways
All I know is digital scales an a throw away
West side raised, south side paid
May be a little crazy but I'm not insane

(WAYLON)
I've aways been different with one foot over the line
Windin' up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from goin' insane

ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY Lyrics

(WAYLON)
Slippin' an a' slidin', playin' dominoes
Leftin' an a' rightin', ain't a crime you know
Well you gotta tell your story boy, before it's time to go

(STRUGGLE)
Show me what it was an I'ma' show you what it will be
I got my hand on my nuts, can you feel me?
To each his own, I can't worry about his grind
This ain't no dress rehearsal homey, this the big time
We are professionals, this is my profession
Story of an Outlaw, this is my confession
No recession, the struggle can't be fabricated
They placed a bet against us, so they mad we made it
They can hate it, they can't stop it, it's irrelevant
Been doin' this since 81, growth and development
Born in the wolves den, became one of them
Lived off hand-me-downs, second hand of sin

(WAYLON)
Are you ready for the country, ready for me?
Get ready for the country, get ready for me
Are you ready for the country, ready for me?
Get ready for the country, ain't I a sight to see

(STRUGGLE)
We are the shooters not the shot at, the ones who never got out,
in these streets chasin' money till it's hot out
If you got a weak stomach don't listen
My story's fulla' murder an suspense, John Grisham
Pain on the pages, not for all ages
Pedal to the metal so I redline all these gauges
Got young spirit old soul like my father
Travelled through muddy water just to get back to the alter
Caught up in the trap, but the trap set me free tonight
The game's dehydrated, yeah I got that Pedialight
They hungry so I feed 'em right
It's dark, I let 'em see the light
My circle's small, I keep it tight
I hope ya'll ready to see a fight
(are ya'?)

(WAYLON)
Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, get ready for me
Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, ain't I a sight to see

Talkin' to a preacher, God was on his side
Talkin' to a pusher, they both were sellin' highs

Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, get ready for me
Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, ain't I a sight to see
