I'm a single mom of 3 boys, no help financially. One dad only helps on holidays, one is always in and out of jail, currently looking at life, the other is an alcoholic so when he's not drinking he's sleeping or trying to support his habit. I work at night when my kids are home because no one has openings on a day shift. I'm home when the kids are in school. Some times I can't pay all my bills. At times it makes me feel completely worthless. This song keeps me working my ass off to hold shit down for my boys. This song keeps me holding on. And it fills me with hope that my boys will notice my hard work not as an absence but as a sacrifice to ensure I give them what no one else will. Thank you for keeping me alive for my boys.

44 here and been on for a 18 years struggle but looking at almost 3 months sober. Feel this song so hard core. I had Aaron Lewis there in my corner and my music of all those that struggled and made it through for inspiration. Please pray for me as I try to make it through mine.
I got sentenced... lifestyle I lived put me in a cage... Upon release.... I wanted to live right... I struggled for a long time.. Working honest.... Sometimes having to go back to it just to take care of my son... Today, its different.... Im a higher up at a major car manufacturing plant... BMW.. Hard work pays off... This song took me back... Everybody out there strugglin, keep pressing forward.... It pays off...
KevinM. Cooper I been there too I also work have 5 kids an Goddamn I wouldn't change a thing listen to this song and then listen to arron lewislost and lonely u might shed a tear with me
for the people who say waylon would be disappointed. i believe your wrong i think he would be happy and proud that his grandson found happiness and success in doing what he loves. and also bringing bits of his music to a whole new generation! keep doin what youre doing struggle! your music is amazing and every song has a meaning and a message!!!
Lisa Melrose Waylon would just be proud his grandson is a positive influence on such a large crowd. Remember people said Waylon wouldn't be shot and he is a legend and struggle and jelly will be too
Lisa Melrose, if you listen to his lyrics, it’s deep shit. You can tell he’s been through it. And your right his grandpa would of been proud of his music. And you people must not know the life of Waylon, he was no angel. They just have different demons and devils to deal with.
I just give the system 25 years of my life. Talk about struggle....this song is the ONLY thing I can listen to. I'm in a fucking time warp and everybody I knew back then is dead and gone. This world is so different. This is damn near all that keeps me going. Thanks bro. I love your pain man.
My brother did 22 years. He just came home s few years ago. Took him some time to get used to NOT being in that small cell. But he's coping wey. You'll do well too. Good luck friend!
My husband and I been clean 9 years now. Had my kids takin away, but addiction lost its battle to me. I Won the Fight, but the struggle is still real. Dreaming for the day I can leave my single wide trailer in the holler for a house up on a hill, my kids deserve it all! This song hits home in more ways then 1..
I told my wife I was fighting a drug addiction she left me with a 1 year old baby girl I lost my home moved bqck to town were use to be in the game,woke up early drowning myself in coffee fought addiction depression and abandonment all at once while taking care of that innocent little girl ,6 months later been clean exactly 6 months finished school bought a house reclaimed my marriage and make over 85k a year on a entry level career all while bumping struggle
Nah bro you shouldn’t have taken her back that’s her loss she’s didn’t believe in you or saw the potential in you as much as you saw it in yourself, that I can’t respect bro, stand for something or fall for anything.
great song. my son is tone deaf and can't sing, but he can rap very good. and I sing country and southern rock. so now we have songs we can sing and learn together. thanks and keep it up. we're both your fans. make the world your own. sing on brother.
You keep on being a bad-ass/good mama there gorgeous!! Being a single parent is a struggle like no other! I got a 7yr old daughter, and a 4yr old boy, and an ex (they mama) who decided to pursue a full time career in METH! Needless to say that shit wasn't going to fly with me! So i put EVERYTHING I'd saved/owned into getting a lawyer to fight for custody of my kiddo's!! Long story short, even though she was homeless, doing meth, and hanging out with crackheads and WANTED felons.... It was STILL one HELL OF A STRUGGLE, and (being that I'm a MAN seeking custody in an Idaho court!) The best the judge would do for me was make it so that i can randomly ask her to go take a drug test, and if she fails... No kid time till she can test clean! Also, ordered there to be no child support, AND the judge gave me 50/50 custody!?!? And it took about a year and a half to get finalized, costing me almost 10 G's all said and done!!...... Now, how do y'all think this would have gone had it been the other way around and I was the one who was gacked outta my mind on the WHOOP CHICKEN so bad i ended up fucking homeless!?? They'd have immediately given her full custody, and made me pay out the ass for child support! All that shit on top of struggling to stay clean ( 5yrs + now! Whoop whoop! Lol!) and maintain my sanity!?..... Fuck me running!... But ya know what?...... THEY'RE FUCKING WORTH IT!!! 💯%💚
Aaron's voice is amazing. It's a great fit to have aaron a legend himself featured on this track with Struggle Jennings grandson of Waylon. Props to both artist.
@alexw9498 ok....yeah Jelly making it too....birds of a feather....They're both like family, they're so close...but I definitely stand corrected....BOTH these men changing the game...stay blessed
Chris Dobbs I do it too raising Grandbabies I haven't worked for minimum wage in over fifteen years but THEYRE WHY. it's Fucked up coworkers that ruin your days/nights but keep pushing on
This song is so relatable its insane I wanna cry every time I jam to it just cuz I/anyone the knows the struggle realast song I could relate to in years bring the music struggle
This song has so much truth, and pain. I being partially disabled and battling Dr. induced drug addiction. the pain I've caused my family, friends, myself is a nightmare in itself. between the addiction, being locked up, and every other struggle in life.I feel so alone and your music has helped me through a lot of hard times, suicidal thoughts, and problems in general. Thank you so much for your music. Your and amazing artist.I think God you got your life together brother. I pray that one day I could meet you, and thank you in person. Keep it up. BEZ
Shane Beasley Hey guy... Hope this finds you on top of your game. When I read your comment, it didn't take long to see you were tellin' my exact story. I've been hittin' the sub clinic almost 2 years now. It helps me on the daily but I've still slipped over time. I've come to find counting days isn't for me.... Sooooo sux to start over Best of luck on your journey!! Stay ez...one love... CWG
Don't know how I would go on some days without struggles wisdom on real life shit. Your music has changed me and kept me alive a thousand times. God bless you for sharing your struggles to inspire others
I live the Struggle...I bring home $120 a week making $13.50 an HR. I can't live at all. I die inside everyday, hated by many and loved by few. Bless us all, I live by the Struggle and will die the same way
I've listened to this song couple times a day for the last 8 days cause I'm really going through it but this song reminds me that my struggles are real but they could be a lot worse
yela wolf was the best thing to come to the music industry since The classic artist like Waylon but I really appreciate struggle yela wolf and jelly roll I wish main stream radio would dedicate a channel in every town for these good ol'boys i live right where there music explains the struggle is real let's chop it up and cut a deal I am slumamarcan yeall keep climbing
I have lived the struggle for years. 2 ex-wives, 3 kids, barely able to get by. Struggle hit it right on the head with this one. I wipe tears everytime I listen to it.
Been locked up most of my life for simple shit just trying to survived. To feed the demon's through my vane's it was a nightmare so many songs Arron helped me iam clean now thanxx bro
The power of the voice this man is free and he didn't just stop from the cold steel back to real deal keep it up struggle ur music is so powerful outlaw shit C.W.B.
I got my own issues, struggle is real what’s real about this song is someone I’m listening to in today’s day and age is struggle Jennings, but my go to when I was young was always staind, or for those of y’all that may not know Aaron Lewis’ band before he decided to start country I had to replay the song the first time I heard it. Glad to see Aaron Lewis come back into one of the playlists of my everyday music.
Yeah the Struggle is real. You feel your crazy and people think your crazy. It's a hard thing to live with. I knew I was not alone. I never quit, even in my silence. I had to breakaway for a awhile. Redemption guys.
Love this song bro this is real life i understand this song to the very last word to every man and women busting ass to take care of the ones you love keep trucking much love and respect
Waylon is smiling down knowing his legacy carries on. This song hits deep. I went from being on top of the world and one bad decision led me to how real the struggle really is... We're all one bad or good decision away from a completely different life.
Changed my life!! This song brings back some dark memories. Think most of us here been threw hell and I really hope yall made it. And if you're still in that hole I promise you if I could do it SO CAN YOU!! I had nothing I literally had nothing but the clothes on my back no parents to help me. Now I'm the head millwright at a lumber mill with a family wife n kids. Best feeling in the world knowing my baby girls are happy. Will never go back.
I know exactly what ya mean but im a firm believer that everything happens happens for a reason and then I was all a big lesson they're making us go on and press forward in life and in the end make sure we go to heaven! God bless you sweetheart😉😊
Dam brotha this song hits so dam hard for me, been on the struggle since day one. Just got home from doing a stretch, I did it fucking warrior, didn't take any one down with me just did my time kept my mouth shut. I appreciate you an the purity you pour into you music keep
And Im just seeing this now!!! Shame on me! This is gospel just like the rest....Struggle is real, lifes struggle is real, & Aaron is a bad man...damn love it!
Never ever give up! God will take to the top of the mountain whether it's on your two feet or when he's carrying you! What you have belief and faith in is YOU AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOUR MIND BODY N SOUL WANTS TO GO! I'M TRUE LIVING PROOF! FIGHT THAT BATTLE WITH SELF RESPECT AND SELF DIGNITY AND TRUST YOUR TRUE SELF!
I'm Detroit born and Bama raised and from the D to Piedmont we got nothing but love for you and the hole slum movement . keep making real music y'all got a fan for life...
I'm still in the D. This city was built on Struggle and now more than ever. Especially being a white man trying to live right and get myself, my wife, and my children north of 8 mile. Love this song!!
Struggle I seriously believe your Grandfather is living through you in your music. Strong meaning and a strong purpose is what comes from your music. Please do not ever change and keep pouring your heart and soul in your music just like your Grandfather did. Haters will always hate. Love your music man.
Yeah, but they are all pretty old. They can still kill the older generation tracks but they need younger cats 45+ is getting too old to play rappers. They should be OGs by now. I love all there music but thats the truth.
I can relate to this song Believe Me and struggles are real right now only income barely making it bills about to get shut off about to come homeless my health is not that great but I just leave it in God's hands and pray day by day and have faith that his will I'll make it John 3:16 for God so loved the world he gave his Beyond. And son who should perish live everlasting life.....
Love you and I hope to see you in person when you are not going back to the concert is on tour and I 6get a 6t ticket to go to West 6call me and I will chat with you about the things you do to make you happy 304 369 3250
Love it, from Vermont! Keep it up, this is real music. It tells a story like music is supposed to. I'm a HILLBILLY, to the bone. I love rap, country, metal and a lot of other genres.
Shout out to slumerican music making the music that people don't necessarily want but need. Honestly in my opinion they have the spirit of the highwaymen . Bold statement but tell me it's not true and lie to yourself. Yelawolf thank you for letting yourself and the other artists do this. Man had a vision n stuck with it regardless of publicity. What matters is the story in the music. Real artists understand that, and real heart and soul fans. Keep doing it.
This song got me through life when I was living on the run, broke down and homeless. One thing I learned is that as long as your still alive and you keep fighting, it gets better.
I've commented on this song before and the truth is that he did one hell of a job with this piece and the rest of his music is just as good . Him incorporating his father or grandfather's music to bring something new to the music industry was a good way for him to stay true to his roots and not let his kinfolks music be forgotten. One of my favorite songs right now and I'll probably be listening to it till I'm dead and gone. 💯℅ real shit.
This song is seriously real. Only one bringing in the money. My 28 year old boy friend had serious spinal surgery, got told he can't ever go back to the blue collar type work. The struggle is real man. We got this tho
I know exaxtly what its like to work the dirty work. Field service welder for the gold mines. Covered in grease head to toe every damn day. Im white and my face litterly looks black
Shout out - Struggle, Jelly Roll , Lil Wyte, High Rolla, Brabo Gator, Young Zane, Worm, More .... But Thanks for Droppin' these fire tracks that help me get thru these dark days in this cold world b. Much Respect 🎧 🎤 ✊ 🎶
I got out of prison a year ago today for selling meth I know what it's like to break the law to support your family I got out it's been a long road I've been sober for four months I manage a slot machine Hall and am engaged I can't believe all the blessings in my life if I can do it so can you don't give it's not how you start but how you finish
The Struggle is Real Damn good to see in real life too. Him and Yela in Seattle Best show I have seen in a long time. The energy he gave back to the crowd was intense
Best combination ever. Aaron Lewis is a legend and then pair him with Struggle, genius! I can listen to it over and over. 2019 jammin Struggle and Aaron. Always ✌🏻
This song has so much meaning to it for lower class people like myself who have struggled there whole dam life trying to get to the top and just can't seem to reach it. Keep making us feel better about our self's struggle Jennings threw your music you have earned alot of respect from fans that grew up just like you. Without a silver spoon in there mouth people like us gotta dig in hard go out and earn it.
Damn sad song.... I know what its like to be a man who wants somthing better. But when a community wishes the worst for somone and never prays for another it strait fucks off the exzistance of one man...
Seen you and jelly multiple times between Lynchburg the gathering and multiple other venues... you boys speak to my soul and thousands of others... and have pulled many of us from dark corners of our own minds... keep up the greatness guys we all without a doubt love you... come back to Richmond Va.. much love and respect YEE YEE!!
to all that have found a new strength in the music struggle puts out, i say to you all. with out risk there is destiny that will fill your heart and your stomach. been asked how i did it, and i just say (what ever it takes). dont pity yourself, go out there an get yours. so many of us have been through more in our lives then most go through in there head, and struggle has a way to convey insparation in his music that we connect with. don"t let failure be acceptable, strive for yours, perserverence pays well. 20 years locked away in CDC and i believe i have made it to the success point of life. the struggle is real, and so is achievment. thanks struggle, yelawolf, jellyroll, lyl wyte, and all the fellas that push this label of slumerican.
Y'all need to do a song somewhere between I can't be the only one and God we need you now. Something to wake people up to what's really going on in the world.
