Trials & Tribulations lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, lemme get situated
Guilty by affiliation and association
So be careful 'bout who you associate with
I seen n*ggas get life over a conversation
Born in eighty-six, my president was Ronald Reagan
The crack epidemic n*gga, if I'm not mistaken
I'm just rollin' this Backwood and just contemplatin'
n*ggas still sleepin' on me, they not awakened
Time to wake they ass up, a legend in the makin'
I greet you in peace, As-Salaam-Alaikum
I'm concrete, f*ckery, I don't partake in
No snakes in my grass, n*gga, I'm always rakin'
No matter what you got, n*ggas always hate it
Jealousy, envy, disloyalty, they all related
Stop hangin' 'round the moves and see how far it take you

[Chorus]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, lemme get situated
Guilty by affiliation and association
So be careful 'bout who you associate with
I seen n*ggas get life over a conversation
Born in eighty-six my president was Ronald Reagan
The crack epidemic n*gga, if I'm not mistaken
I'm just rollin' this Backwood and just contemplatin'
[Verse 2]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, fought a million cases
Never made a statement, just made it to the state pen
n*gga had to write raps with a state pen
I watched them snakes, they poisonous with venom in 'em
Some n*ggas won't support you unless it's beneficial
You can check my background, I been official
I'm authentic, y'all rap n*ggas is artificial
Show no mercy on a opp, n*gga, I'm optimistic
Been goin' hard on this rap since I got outta prison
Hangin' 'round with crash dummies was not the mission
Them them n*ggas have you booked like a composition
Fake n*ggas, they be lyin', they're a contradiction
My raps all facts, n*gga, non-fiction
Stop repeatin' with your n*ggas, kill the competition
Start eatin' with your n*ggas, get that out your system

[Chorus]
All my life I been through struggles, trials and tribulations
Sticky situations, lemme get situated
Guilty by affiliation and association
So be careful 'bout who you associate with
I seen n*ggas get life over a conversation
Born in eighty-six my president was Ronald Reagan
The crack epidemic n*gga, if I'm not mistaken
I'm just rollin' this Backwood and just contemplatin'
