Let me explain, when we entertain
it's succes that we want to get and we aim
we have to struggle every time to be top of the bill
if we persevere, we probably will
'cos it's a real exertion for mc's to thrive
but to use the words of darwin, it's struggle for jive
to say this brief, that means hard severe battle
in which every opponent has to be rattled
two categories exist inthis lyrical game
the weak and the whack, and the rulers anyway
to be a ruler or somebody who comes near
you have to give, like churchill, blood, sweat and tears
blood you must give to survive through the jive
that means be the best on stage, performing live
sweat, the effort you have to make
you can't gain things easily, or they must be fake
tears, the pain with strife that ache
you gotta give more than you can take
when we rhyme we call it struggle for jive
when we think we call it struggle for jive
when we compete we call it struggle for jive
when we triumph we call it struggle for jive
Jive you can find in every dictionary
for a poet, it's a form of elementary
popular music with a strong regular beat
dancing on this music sure's a treat
for you it's easy, for me to make is not
to entertain a crowd, I gotta practice a lot
to rap def, I gotta mention
be high class, to bring rap in good dimensions
this is a hell of a job
don't forget that others try to make you stop
'cos they wanna make it big, the same way too
with taking out everybody, especially you
compitition in life is daily news
some are poets on a mission, to pay their dues
and the meek shall inherit the earth
but the weak will lose, that's my word
I'll be rough and I'll sharpen my teeth
otherwise I never get the things I need
it's up to me, to keep the spirit up
my only hope to reach the top
and if I have to battle against the mob
struggle for jive won't make me stop
it's a hard dirty job from nine to five
it's all in the game, this struggle for jive
rap without saying c*** struggle for jive
weak against strong struggle for jive
develop step by step struggle for jive
the job ain't done struggle for jive
s.t.r.u. double g. l. e. struggle for jive
the only thing I see
struggle for jive
