Caught Up In A Struggle - Us3

Move with precision, decisions to make, fakes to shake

Talk a good game but yo, your stash ain’t no wins

I’m in the biz of makin' it big and express myself

Through jams that they even bop to in Japan, my man

Change for a dollar so I can make this call

Get my money correct cause I been broke too long

Gotta keep it legit, can’t be locked for years

Find me a 9 to 5, blood sweat and tears

But can it work boss man smack the jerk for tryin' to jerk me

Thinkin' I can’t see inconsistency in my currency

Now I’m back out on the street

Walking these dogs for ends meet, life’s not sweet

But I still rock rhymes to beats

Put it together maybe we can make an explosion

But it takes time, record labels mess up your mind

You could press rewind and catch a dose one more time

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

Gimme mine and I’ll spark the chart like flint

Money spent back to start, who wants parts of this

Crisp on compact disk but don’t you diss the vinyl mix

I got the hook up at the crib

That’s my escape from this world today, watch 'em blow up

Then deflate like a souffle, I see it every day, all day

I’m out for the gold, forget the silver and the bronze

Gotta make dough, send home to wifey and moms

Invest in real estate, computers and all this

Plan’s flawless, bumpy roads, I’m ready

So all you fakers get jetty or get chopped up like confetti

I’m on a mission for this permanent position

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

On the bricks, scuffed up kicks, not a hint of dough

Lost my job, now I’m livin' like a slob

Re-plan regroup, gotta hook up with my make money troops

Two scoops of loops, studio, time to blow

Hip-hop scene flooded, everybody gettin' blunted

A& R’s frontin', guess I gotta prove somethin'

Over percussion, Shabaam Sahdeeq rushin' like the Kremlin

Got mc’s tremblin' in their lab, take a stab at me

Superior with word play

Stress overtakes the fakes everyday all day

Rugged like Broadway, no time for horseplay

In the struggle don’t you lower your level

Gotta take charge like credit, need to start talkin' aesthetic

Cause when you lose your chance you will regret it, get it

Lyrics embedded in your head like memories

Remember these Us3 melodies

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, man

Caught up in a struggle

You got me caught up in a struggle like that, like that
