humble man's struggle - keith phelps lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
momma always said don’t overemphasize the prize
don’t let them people dangle that karat between yo eyes
don’t let yo downfall be the result of your surprise
and when you make it to the top, you don’t forget about the christ

i can see so many things beyond the naked eye
industry seem so strong until you view it from inside
these people, they do the most for the cost of burgers and fries
entire dynasties and legacies founded upon a lie

exposin’ the truth is met with the accusation of hate
and if you get too loud yo people might find you dead in the lake
the very ones who did it be the first to show up at the wake
with the falsified sympathy and the tissues for family pain

often ridiculed for having a soul and havin’ a brain
‘cause having both of those delay the time it takes to get paid
it’s like a player sent to the bench right after the huddle
correction sir, it’s just the humble man’s struggle

[hook]
what do you do
when you know so much but you can’t speak
when it’s so close to you but you can’t reach
when they make what is evil look and taste so sweet
makin’ sure people like just you are never to be seen

cost a couple thousand just to get a record made
go head and throw in your soul and maybe you can get it played
gotta keep quiet and continue the holy hustle
ladies and gentlemen this is the humble man’s struggle

[verse]
i get question all the time
how is that you haven’t blown like military mines
how is it that you drive a car purchased in ’05
amongst the stars, within the industry i thought you would’ve thrived

i mean thought you would’ve had a house or two by now
how come them people that you know won’t ever shout you out?
you mean to tell me they won’t work with you because of clout?
because your heart is full of venue seats that never sell out

that’s a game you know your boy was never qualified to play
to be an industry fraud who’s searchin’ for his claim to fame
before you ever can abound you get your strength being abased
and when he gives it to you, no else can come take it away
(no, no, no, no, no, no)

takes a great deal of time and patience
to influence and affect a whole generation

so when you hear my records, see my band and all the hustle
you’ll understand the beauty of the humble man’s struggle

[hook] (x2)
