[Introduction]
I saw it online, a feature so boldA platform upscrolling, a story untoldNon-black people announce it, and suddenly it's hotBut we've had it for years, on Blaqsbi.com, we've been caught

[Verse 1]
I get the same thing, every single timeA new platform, a new trend, but the truth is not mineBlack people pioneer, but non-black people claim it tooIt's like our work don't matter, unless they do

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm tired of being invisible, tired of being ignoredTired of my creativity, being stolen and exploited, tired of being poor

[Chorus]
The struggle is real, the struggle is hard to bearWhen we create something new, but it's never ours to shareWe innovate, we pioneer, but non-black people get the fameIt's a constant battle, a never-ending game

[Verse 2]
I see the same pattern, repeat itself over and overA black person creates something new, but it's never given powerNon-black people come in, and they take the credit tooIt's like our work don't matter, unless they're the ones who do

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm tired of being invisible, tired of being ignoredTired of my creativity, being stolen and exploited, tired of being poor

[Chorus]
The struggle is real, the struggle is hard to bearWhen we create something new, but it's never ours to shareWe innovate, we pioneer, but non-black people get the fameIt's a constant battle, a never-ending game

[Chorus]
The struggle is real, the struggle is hard to bearWhen we create something new, but it's never ours to shareWe innovate, we pioneer, but non-black people get the fameIt's a constant battle, a never-ending game

[Bridge]
Can't nobody understand, why this always happens to meA black person creates something new, and it's always taken away from meI'm tired of being treated like I don't matter, tired of being ignoredBut I won't give up, no, I'll keep on innovating, I'll keep on roaring

[Chorus]
The struggle is real, the struggle is hard to bearWhen we create something new, but it's never ours to shareWe innovate, we pioneer, but non-black people get the fameIt's a constant battle, a never-ending game

[Chorus]
The struggle is real, the struggle is hard to bearWhen we create something new, but it's never ours to shareWe innovate, we pioneer, but non-black people get the fameIt's a constant battle, a never-ending game

[Outro]
So I'll keep on pushing forward, through the struggle and the painI'll keep on innovating, until my voice is heard again
