manuel, xo - hustle struggle lyrics

verse 1:
born in the gutter, but i came for the crown
pops was hustlin’ late, makin’ moves in the town
moms had her hands full, keepin’ food on the stove
a family in the dirt, but they paved a golden road

they told me, “boy, don’t complain about the heat,”
‘cause where we came from, every night was a feat
pops on the corner, pushin’ dreams for some cash
riskin’ it all just to make a quick dash
moms in the kitchen, stretchin’ every dollar
told me, “one day, you’ll grow up and make ‘em holler.”
i saw the tears in the grind, but they never broke
the weight of the world, still, they carried that load
every struggle was a step to this rich man’s road
now the suits we wear don’t show what we owed

chorus:
hustle and struggle, that’s the life that i know
every scar on my back from the seeds that they sowed
came from the dirt, now we rockin’ in gold
but don’t forget, man, the story’s been told
(yeah) hustle and struggle, (yeah) the grind never stops
from the bottom of the block to the tip of the top
came from the dirt, now we rockin’ in gold
but don’t forget, the story’s been told
verse 2:
moms used to say, “boy, keep your head in the game,”
she prayed on her knees so we ain’t end up the same
pops on the late shift, tryna break chains
while i stayed up at night hearin’ echoes of pain
but they always had a smile when i woke to the sun
even when the pockets empty, they showed me how to run
taught me how to hustle when the day felt long
now i carry their lessons like the weight of a song
never had much, but i had what i needed
love, sacrifice—those words i repeated
moms had my back when the world turned cold
pops said, “son, make that struggle your gold.”
now i’m sittin’ here blessed with the best of it all
rememberin’ the days when we barely stood tall
hustle and struggle—it’s the life that we lived
but i wear it with pride, ‘cause that’s how i give
