Danekko - Striving To Succeed

Verse 1
Ayo, striving to succeed, cause he's soaked in pain
Head down in those books Timid looking, wants to fly away
Abandoned by his family, hoping for a new salary, Parents nodded off
He's wondering, who else would sleep on me, bar after bar
Line after line 15, working hard, whilst his parents snorted lines
After every confrontation, punched kicked, spit, slapped and grabbed
He goes running upstairs, putting, pen to pad, and
All the neighbours hear, but act like they don't know
Waiting for the next episode hoping it will be slow, cries
Breaking through the walls, just makes a better show, last
Episode, parents bought drugs, now he's all alone

Verse 2
Mind is so broken, he feels like shit, bad crowd, he hangs around, got it fixed
Selling rocks for keys, to his white crib, 17, feeling like, how Al Capone did
Everyday he's paranoid, nothing can keep him zen, cause the opps round the
Block knows he be selling weed, so they made a trip, he wasn't lacking he got a grip
Shots rang out in the night time, in four minutes he got hit
Now the sirens coming, it's getting closer, his eyes rolled back, he thought it was over
Suddenly, he wakes up in a hospital bed, standing for his group, but found nobody there
Wow, so devastating his mind is racing, the feeling of deja vu like the day his parents left him
How could his group abandon him too he feels like a fool
For showing love he will never receive
