Verse 1:
Tryin' to make a buck, but it's like the money is stuck
Feels as though I been struck with a life of bad luck
All the artists need to carry their money in trucks
It's like I'm the flower who aint been plucked
If only we were all equal like were made to believe
Then even though I'm white, I could still achieve
When I'm in public they all wanna preconceive
Look at y'all lookin' at me and then perceive
I wasn't even born a normal birth to this messed up earth
Because birth is an event, but mine had no worth
Brought me out the wound, like bein' unearthed
I need to start over like a spiritual rebirth
I portray myself this way cause I'm in a state of dismay
I'm full of a hopeless struggle that will never go away
Everything I say is an array of truth, even to this day
So let me poll a survey, to hear what y'all gon' say


Chorus (x2):
How can I climb the ladder of success?
When all that's there, is a hole of stress
Why do I rap? It's a nowhere progress
But I'll continue writin', nevertheless


Verse 2:
Even my brain's tellin' my heart to quit the struggle
It's like I have too many problems to tryin' juggle
No one wants my goods, like an illegal smuggle
My girl wont even let me come close to snuggle
Burning inside with so much to unload, I'm gonna explode
All this time I've been travelin' down a dead end road
No one even understands this, like I'm writin' in code
So much weight on my shoulders, it's a heavy load
I try to break free from these chains but their grip is to tight
I try every night but I continually loose the fight
People look at me and judge at first sight
My mind races at the speed of light
If only there was someone who's mind connected with mine
Then maybe we could combine and define my lines
What you hear are thoughts of malign
I have no fate, it's time to resign


Chorus (x2):
How can I climb the ladder of success?
When all that's there, is a hole of stress
Why do I rap? It's a nowhere progress
But I'll continue writin', nevertheless


Verse 3:
Okay, now I'ma tell ya what I've really been feelin'
I must got a disease the way my body's healin'
I can't elevate no more, I've reached the ceilin'
This whole thing is a song for revealin'
How can I spill my thoughts if they've all been withdrawn?
I can't continue on because my strive is foregone
Like in chess, I'm as limited as the pawn
Everyday this is what goes on and on
I'm givin' this up, it's time to throw in the towel
I have to quit, cause I've murdered the vowels
It's like I'm in stealth when I prowl
If this was a sport, look at me foul
After hearin' this you'll forget everything that was said
More people would rather listen to the dead instead
I stand in agony as I watch everyone move ahead
That's all for now, my pencil's out of lead


Chorus (x2):
How can I climb the ladder of success?
When all that's there, is a hole of stress
Why do I rap? It's a nowhere progress
But I'll continue writin', nevertheless
