BEAUTY LYRICS

(VERSE 1)

What doesn't kill me is gonna make me stronger
It's clear my enemies are gonna Hate me longer
While all the negativity will Take me farther
I bet these women want me as their baby father

Man it's crazy how much I have grown
You learn a lot about yourself when spending nights alone
Even when I had me too many
Drinkin all this Jack and some Henny
And my doubts are starting to get me
I know this microphone will lead me to the life I want aye

And Now I'm eating fasho
Just know I'm Not too far away from me achieving my goals
But really far away from MoCo when I'd Sleep on the floor
I Never thought that I would make it here and be on the road

That's why whenever I hit the stage I treat my fans like fuckin Fam
Cuz Y'all will be the ones to soon help me support my fuckin Fam
Help me get my first hundred grand and even help me pay off Uncle Sam
This shit has me so humbled and for that I hope you'll Understand that

(CHORUS)

I wouldn't change this shit for nothing
I wouldn't change this shit for nothing at all (why's that)
Because there's beauty in the struggle (watchu mean)
Because there's beauty in the struggle (2x)

(VERSE 2)

Common told me slow motion better than no motion
Now I'm flyin coast to coast and soon across the ocean
Doin shows and livin life the way I envisioned
When I was 9 writing some rhymes washin some plates and some dishes

Was way too shy to tell my friends i was legit with the writtens
Back when I got no plays or listens but then made it my mission
I used to complain even felt ashamed whenever my name wasn't mentioned
But I let that shame become the flame that'll help me gain some attention goddamn (goddamn)

Being homeless was a choice
These were sacrifices made to let the world hear my voice
Motivated off of all the visions running through my head
Of me holdin my family while I'm thumbin thru some bread

I Got friends of mine who were born rich and they livin life with no problems
Sometimes I used to get jealous lookin up to them from the bottom
But that's where my drive and my passion really came from and I'm proud
So when they ask me if I could change shit I look back and tell them out loud that (huh)

(CHORUS)
