Beauty in the Struggle

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I learned a lot in 2016
Some don't see the cost just to chase dreams
Half of ya'll never want the struggle
But still expect the beauty this amazing grind brings
That's jaded. Me, I took a leap
No school I'm in this without a single guarantee
No fallback, no backup plan
Momma said, "Get a plan B Justin"
No, I am not that man so I'ma get it
No other option in my system
Now I'm up next, remember when no one would listen
From that kid they picked on back in middle school like every day
To the man of the year in my state, in every way
I worked hard until my craft blew
Called exactly where I am now, like last June
Words mean nothing but these stats do
Read it on my tattoo, beauty in the struggle
I've got everything they lack, ou

[Pre-Chorus]
Ignorance is bliss
I don't wanna know my future
Cause if I knew I blow
I probably wouldn't work as hard
Maybe this could be the death of me
Giving in my all 'til there is nothing left of me
Trusting what's ahead
I want to live for everything
Pray to God my family never has to see a rest in peace

[Chorus]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll never change
Just because they listen doesn't mean they hear it
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll came away
Tryna be the hero, so I die a legend
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll never change
Just because they listen doesn't mean they hear it
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll came away
Tryna be the hero, so I die a legend
(So I die a legend, yeah
So I die a legend
There's beauty in the struggle, yeah
I know, there's beauty in the struggle)

[Verse 2]
They said my sound was never mainstream
But people in my inbox say, "Justin you saved me"
From dark depression to those suicidal thoughts
I was looking for an out until your music came across
Now my life has changed
I just feel like I relate to every lyric that goes on that page
And even if you never read this I just hope you know
Without your music my life, it wouldn't have been the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Ignorance is bliss
I don't wanna know my future
Cause if I knew I blow
I probably wouldn't work as hard
Maybe this could be the death of me
Giving in my all 'til there is nothing left of me
Trusting what's ahead
I want to live for everything
Pray to God my family never has to see a rest in peace

[Chorus]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll never change
Just because they listen doesn't mean they hear it
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll came away
Tryna be the hero, so I die a legend
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll never change
Just because they listen doesn't mean they hear it
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll came away
Tryna be the hero, so I die a legend
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll never change
Just because they listen doesn't mean they hear it
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll came away
Tryna be the hero, so I die a legend
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll never change
Just because they listen doesn't mean they hear it
Yeah-yeah-yeah, ya'll came away
Tryna be the hero, so I die a legend
