Struggled (feat. Nova Coast) Video (MV)

Ain't nobody ever understand, Everything I was in
Every time that I had that plan in my mind I knew I had to spend
Everything by myself, Everybody just left me
Did that shit back to back, And I'm thinking bout getting wealthy
Really was sitting there doing time by myself, Ain't nobody care
Ain't nobody ever pick up my phone, Ain't nobody ask for a chair
To sit down and talk about problems, Ain't nobody gave a shit
Sat here by myself everyday, Just thinking bout ways to get rich
Told my family once I do it, Look we gon' make it out this shit
Told my brothers once I do it, Look we no longer gotta plead the fifth
Ain't nobody on the block, Scraping change no more once I make it to the top
This shit's kinda crazy, Look my whole gang got that shit on lock
Look, we all got it on lock, Ain't nobody going to the top unless I'm hot
Everybody sitting there hoping that I break this shit out the box
Ain't nobody really understand what I had to go through to make this plan
Ain't nobody really understand the pain I went through to make me a man
Look, did it back to back, Everybody still hating on me, man that's wack
Ain't nobody ever gonna understand what I had to do to make it back
To this point in my life, Everybody sitting there thinking I did it right
Ain't nobody sat there help me do this shit overnight
Look, did it all alone, Ain't nobody ever called my phone
Ain't nobody ever sat there said that they were there to pick up the phone
That's some real shit, All that pain in my head
Man I had to let it go real quick
Everything that I did for myself, Ain't nobody ever gave a shit
Did it for the team, Everybody sat there said I could break that seam
Ain't nobody ever tried to help me with that shit so I made it seem
Like I was bringing them all with me, But I cut them off at the top
Told them once I do this shit, Look y'all just gotta stop
They ain't really know, That I was gonna blow
They ain't really know, When I was standing on my ten toes
At the mall, Selling CDs out my domo bag
Had the Gucci, Had the lean, Had lots of swag
Me and my bro, Dave o everyday
Walk the whole boardwalk, Ocean City getting paid
Used to dribble basketball, But I love to rap
Staying focused on music, Counting stacks in the trap
We was posted in the basement
Had the laundry mat, With the cement pavement
Remember cold ass nights, Trying to roll up cigarillos
Name Nova Coast, My favorite color's still yellow
Pulling on the block, Hooping like my name Carmelo
That's NB more, I was 45 minutes from there
Right outside Washington City, D.C
Where the girls a ditty, Hit the ditty bop
Then I lean and rock
Used to jump high, Like I'm Nike Shox
Call me Vince Carter, I don't need no barber
Write my own story, I'm my own author
Please don't bother me now, Cause you see I'm up
See you looking at me, And you got your face stuck
You hated on me back then, Smiled in my face, I call it fake friends
I can relax now, Cause I just copped a Benz
But it ain't really about that, It's about the struggle that I went through
Almost lost my mind, Could've died
Got a gun pointed at my face, Told me lay on the ground
Thought my life was gonna get erased
But I survived, No I didn't cry
Had many crazy nights, Thought I lost my mind
I was paranoid, Scared to go outside
Looking out my window, Asking myself why
This happened to me in my city
But I overcame that, you know
For real
