I Don't Romanticize Struggle - Judeo
Diamonds on my neck
Still remember around them
I don't miss it
Turn lay fees into LV's on the dresser
Used to count change now I change different pressure
Stayed in the rain now the roof change weather
But I don't praise pain I just move way better
Mama had two jobs
Eyes with the red lines
I was just a kid
Learned money all deadlines
Now I sign checks
Put the fam on the headlines
Still see that rent note taped to the back side
I don't romanticize struggle
I don't wanna go back there
Hungry on the airbed
Praying on a callback
That was never meant to be fair
I'm thankful that I made it
But I don't miss being broke at all
I don't romanticize struggle
I just promise we won't fall
Used to split plates now we split percent
Whole team eating off a dream and a tent
They say made you tough like that's a compliment
Trauma ain't a trophy that's just something I'll spend
I want soft days for my folks
Still with love not my hard times in my quotes
For the visuals if I talk pain it's to show what's possible
Not to sell kids on a life that was horrible
I want ease for my niece not eviction notes
I want love for my sis not them heavy coats
Cold kitchen thin walls every sound exposed
Now we wrap peace round us like designer clothes
Yeah we came from the bottom
But we don't stay worshiping the bottom
I don't romanticize struggle
I don't wanna go back there
Hungry on the airbed
Praying on a callback
That was never meant to be fair
I'm thankful that I made it
But I don't miss being broke at all
