Born To Struggle (Rock Mix)
folk rock, blues, indie rock, track driven by crisp hi-hats, deep 808 bass, and haunting synths supporting guitars that carries storyteller male vocals front and center, Sparse piano keys underpin vivid verses, The outro features layered choir harmonies, adding gospel warmth and dramatic lift on top of the outro

Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
(Oh, oh, oh)
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
(Oh, oh, oh)
hook
It been this way since beginnin'
Hard to lose when you ain't winnin'
I don't know what your bothers be
An empty stomach don't bother me
I faced down all my troubles
Made it thru all the struggles
Oh, oh, the struggle
The struggle...
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
(Oh, oh, oh)
verse 1
On wheels where I was raised
Maybe it made to get away
Why we always in same place
Canned food cover our plate
Tire tracks lead back to the past
Hard times and they not the last
Need to make a change real fast
Guess it too much to ask...
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
(Oh, oh, oh)
hook
It been this way since beginnin'
Hard to lose when you ain't winnin'

An empty stomach don't bother me
I faced down all my troubles
Made it thru all the struggles
Oh, oh, the struggle
The struggle...
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm

verse 2
Lookin' for some stability
These people not feelin' me
Gotta use my ability
Bein' poor is killin' me
Get a job what they all say
Broke my back ain't get no pay
Got me livin' day to day
Still tryin' to get away...
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
(Oh, oh, oh)
bridge
Hard times but I'm still smilin'
Rackin' up all this mileage
Can they hear me I'm tryin'
Puttin' these words to paper
Maybe they pay off later
I'm still here waitin'...
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
(Oh, oh, oh)

It been this way since beginnin'
Hard to lose when you ain't winnin'
I don't know what your bothers be
An empty stomach don't bother me
I faced down all my troubles
Made it thru all the struggles
Oh, oh, the struggle
The struggle...
