The Struggle Is Real

[Intro]
[Em] [G] [D] [Am] [Em] [G] [D] [Am]

[Em]Struggle's real
[G]So real
[D]5 a.m. comes early, [Am]jacking Folgers in his cup
[Em]He wakes her up and lays [G]her clothes out and packs her lunch
[D]Got to rush to [Am]catch the school bus
[Em]Ponytails and toothbrush
[G]Sometimes it seems [D]it's too much
[Am]He waves goodbye, [Em]then he sighs
[G]12-hour days and [D]barely getting by
[Am]Her mama working third shift and [Em]he hopes she ain't back getting high
[G]On a slippery slope [D]slowly slip into a pit
[Am]Hanging off her dear life, losing [Em]grip but he refused to quit
[G]I see the look in your [D]eyes and I know how you feel
[Am]Work your fingers to the [Em]bone just to cover the bills
[G]You wanna leave that single white trailer in [D]the hollow for a house up on the hill
[Am]You don't care [Em]how they feel
[G]'Cause the [D]struggle is real
[Am]I know the [Em]struggle is real
[G]She's almost 40 and still [D]dancing on that brass pole
[Am]Customers are disrespectful, [Em]manager's an asshole
[G]Her greater goals [D]overshadow all the sorrows
[Am]5 a.m. will take forever, [Em]few more minutes 'til tomorrow
[G]Not enough dollars in her [D]garter for their house of dreams
[Am]Run into the dressing room, slams [Em]the door and starts to scream
[G]Where she wants to be in [D]life is still a distant image
[Am]At her wit's end, still [Em]is infinite, story hasn't ended
[G]I see the look in your [D]eyes and I know how you feel
[Am]Work your fingers to the [Em]bone just to cover the bills
[G]You wanna leave that single white trailer in [D]the hollow for a house up on the hill
[Am]You don't care [Em]how they feel
[G]'Cause the [D]struggle is real
[Am]I know the [Em]struggle is real
[G]♪
[D]He walks outside and throws [Am]his tools into his pickup truck
[Em]Looks up and smiles, see [G]her Altima is pulling up
[D]Her weight is lifted, her door's [Am]open, and he knows she's sober
[Em]He grabs the holder, she [G]finds comfort underneath his shoulder
[D]As they embrace, all [Am]of their worries are erased
[Em]Because together they can face [G]all the obstacles in place
[D]Pulls out of the holler [Am]to go make an honest dollar
[Em]Paid dues won't lose, smile [G]through the blues of blue collar
[D]I see the look in your [Am]eyes and I know how you feel
[Em]Work your fingers to the [G]bone just to cover the bills
[D]You wanna leave that single white trailer in [Am]the hollow for a house up on the hill
[Em]You don't care [G]how they feel
[D]'Cause the [Am]struggle is real
[Em]I see the look in your eyes [G]and I know just how you feel
[D]Work your fingers to the [Am]bone just to cover the bills
[Em]You wanna leave that single white trailer in [G]the hollow for a house up on the hill
[D]You don't care [Am]how they feel
[Em]'Cause the [G]struggle is real
[D]I know the [Am]struggle is real
