Life
Journey of Struggles and Butter: Mister K.Y.B's Reflective Tale
Lyrics
You'll never know about my struggle
You won't fully understand my challenges
Every single day single I was always in some trouble
Every day I faced difficulties
Growing up I knew I was different
I knew I was unique while growing up
In school I never thought I was intelligent
In school, I doubted my intelligence
Had to work hard never was persistent
I had to work hard, lacked persistence
Changes in my life were pretty much insignificant
Changes in my life seemed insignificant
Never was accepted even as an immigrant
I was never accepted, even as an immigrant
Painting out a perfect picture pimping out a butterfly
Creating an ideal image but hiding pain
While I cry
Expressing pain through tears
Not a good kid in a mad city
Not a well-behaved kid in a tough city
Welcome to Dublin where it's kinda gritty
Welcome to Dublin, a challenging place
Be street smart be a little witty
Advice to be street smart and witty
Early 20s got me feeling like a grown man
In my early 20s, feeling like a mature man
Momma knew I had the master plan
Mom knew I had plans, but I'm confused
I don't even understand
Confusion about life's purpose
What I'm doing with my life
Uncertain about life direction
Talk about the strife
Talking about the struggles
I don't rap for a magazine cover
Not rapping for fame, just want a better life
Just want to get myself out the gutter
Desire to escape difficult circumstances
Slip and slide through life just like butter
Repetition emphasizing the slippery nature of life
Slip and slide through life just like butter
-Slip and slide through life just like butter
-Slip and slide through life just like butter
-Slip and slide through life just like butter
-Slip and slide through life just like butter
-Slip and slide through life just like butter
-When I'm old what will I treasure
Reflecting on what will be valuable in old age
Just a black guy always under pressure
Feeling pressure as a black man
Different nation same race we don't stand together
Unity issues within the same race
I'm stuck like this forever
Feeling stuck in difficult circumstances
No one can even measure
My value is immeasurable
My worth, spend another year on this earth
Reflecting on the passing of time
Maybe revert back to my birth
Considering going back to the beginning
As I digress
Changing the subject
Thinking about my progress
Reflecting on personal progress
Please tell me do I really need that Buddha bless
Questioning the need for spiritual guidance
Trapped in my thoughts oh what a mess
Feeling trapped in negative thoughts
Words unspoken I start to choke I can't breathe
Struggling to express unspoken words
No death mourned but I grieve
Experiencing grief without death
Mindset of today lacking common sense
Modern mindset lacks common sense
Rebellious outrage another consequence
Rebelling with consequences
Heart still dwelling in the past
Emotionally stuck in the past
Tears follow but won't last
Tears follow but are temporary
Bitter memories flooding my mind
Bitter memories resurface
Lost in translation the answer didn't find
Unable to find answers, lost in translation
The question my nigga here's a suggestion
Pose a question without providing an answer
Love or hate me don't reconsider
Accept me as I am, whether love or hate
I'm that sour taste that makes things bitter
Acknowledging a negative impact
Maybe you can quote my bars yes on twitter
Suggesting social media recognition
Remember my name KYB include the Mister
Asserting identity as KYB, including "Mister"
