“The Struggle” Official Music Video by Nelly’s Echo

The struggle

Intro
I spend all of the money
I don’t have to buy all the luxury to please
The people that talk about me

Verse 1
It’s funny, whenever I’m riding high
There’s always somebody there to shoot me right out of the sky
It’s crazy, when I look back in my history
How I let people use and abuse every part of me
When I try to please the world I forget about me

Chorus 1
That’s why I spend all of the money
I don’t have to buy all the luxury to please
The people that talk about me
And I’m stuck in the middle
In between the person that I was and the person
That I am trying to be it’s a struggle taking all the fight out of me

Verse 2
Destiny, took me for a walk on a sunny day
Told me to close my eyes, and get on my knees, cos it was time to pray
Insecurity, figured that I was afraid to live
Better to be what they want me to be, they took the fight out of me
When I tried to fix the world, I forget about me

Bridge
And it’s time for me
to love only the person that I want to be,
And maybe then I could just
learn to be just a better version than I used to be for me

Chorus 2
So I won’t spend all of the money
I don’t have to buy all of the luxury to please The people that talk about me
And I am moving the needle
Moving from the person that I am
To the person that I am trying to be
It’s still a struggle taking all the fight out of me
