I cried reading this thanks g I actually went to part last Friday for the first time in 2 years cuz money problems and then corona and I’m finally happy with myself
what culture, hahaha, this made me laugh man, this peace of garbage aint got nothing against the original, washed up nation....you guys love the melody, the trash this guy is spitting is just hillarious
It's like one of his only bangers that never got an official release on an album or even official single. You gotta be a true asap fan to even know this song exist fr lol.
This song got me through the worst times with poor mental health, poverty, disability, etc. I played this song every single day I went into intensive therapies, and now Ive reaped just what I've sowed. Shout out to the rest of yall striving and prospering despite the struggle.
Lyrics [Intro] This is my story, my struggle, uh My bittersweet symphony, my pain, check it [Verse 1] Food getting lower, money coming slower Damn land lord keep bitching cause you owe her I'm too afraid to grow up, I pray to God I blow up And roll up in something foreign where the front doors go up I wonder if my peers could hear my prayers The only nigga got me scared is the man upstairs When my back against the wall, I'mma face my fears I'll swallow my pride 'fore I swallow a tear Cause I be going hard, Stevie on his job I'm praying until something happen, I'm answering to God These wolves got me scarred I try so hard to survive, guess just to prosper gotta strive [Verse 2] Then I hit the stage, all gone and blazed Everybody know my name and the song I sing I rejoice my pain and they doing the same And the haters gonna hate, I'm just doing my thing Got my bad bitch with me she so dangy Said she love ASAP cause we so tangy Living life fast so I feel like kids And I'm blowing up quick so I feel like B.I.G With the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis Now we doing deals with the major businesses Get a little change, niggas feel a little strange Uh-oh truck flow, pull off in a range Niggas say I changed but I'm living it up Shit if money didn't change you, you ain't getting enough Fuck coppin a car, I'm Tryna fly to the stars Smooth on the moon and I be mobbing to mars Niggas say I'm ill, y'all ain't telling me shit Cuz the nights we was ill, y'all ain't help me with shit Ooh now my money change drastic, The coupe do gymnastic The doors lift up and the roof do a back flip Zooming through traffic, probably with a bad bitch Slash actress soon we on our way to Saks Fifth Life was so tragic, all of that was past tense Now I'm living lavish, this got to be magic [Outro] If I should die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord I rest in peace If I die before I wake Please rejoice this song I sing As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord I rest in peace

This song is like someone regurgitated the meaning behind the original, took a shit on top of the vomit of a song and then let it bake in the searing sun for 2 weeks.
Life is not a fairy tale. Life is Natural, Life is a struggle. Every day, every waking moment, all life fights for its right to exist. It truly is a bittersweet symphony. But then again, anything that comes easy isn't worth a nickel.
Cringlez no, but they now own the royalties so all money made from that song now will be theirs, i read somewhere they never wanted the song used in commercials and the guy that had sued them licensed the song for comercial use throughout most of the 90’s and most of the 00’s
@@xxamarettaxx1 they do not deserve it. all art is inspired from something else and even the rolling stones song was inspired by a previous song so what do you say to that? they didnt credit the song previous nor give any money yet they held onto the right's to the Verve's song for 20 years. To hell with corporate greed. They have no talent they just happen to be rich people seeking to get richer through the use of complicated and confusing record deals.
No he ruined the whole meaning of the song Richard Ashcroft specifically said in his version "you're a slave to money then you die" this dude is just a victim
If I should die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord I rest in peace If I die before I wake Please rejoice this song I sing As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord I rest in peace.

Rocky's come up is honestly so inspiring and this song has always made me motivated to be better
Listen to this through the struggle
Same , brother
this is a remix of a 1997 britpop hit of the Verve.
same here, this song always keeps me going after 5 years of listening
It should be a crime that this song isn't on spotify
It's like one of his only bangers that never got an official release on an album or even official single. You gotta be a true asap fan to even know this song exist fr lol.
Probably because of the sample
ASAP is one of my favorites for his versatility and style. This man can make music in any genre.
Sublime u mean Rocky? A$AP is just the crew bruh

Lyrics
[Intro]
This is my story, my struggle, uh
My bittersweet symphony, my pain, check it
[Verse 1]
Food getting lower, money coming slower
Damn land lord keep bitching cause you owe her
I'm too afraid to grow up, I pray to God I blow up
And roll up in something foreign where the front doors go up
I wonder if my peers could hear my prayers
The only nigga got me scared is the man upstairs
When my back against the wall, I'mma face my fears
I'll swallow my pride 'fore I swallow a tear
Cause I be going hard, Stevie on his job
I'm praying until something happen, I'm answering to God
These wolves got me scarred
I try so hard to survive, guess just to prosper gotta strive
[Verse 2]
Then I hit the stage, all gone and blazed
Everybody know my name and the song I sing
I rejoice my pain and they doing the same
And the haters gonna hate, I'm just doing my thing
Got my bad bitch with me she so dangy
Said she love ASAP cause we so tangy
Living life fast so I feel like kids
And I'm blowing up quick so I feel like B.I.G
With the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
Now we doing deals with the major businesses
Get a little change, niggas feel a little strange
Uh-oh truck flow, pull off in a range
Niggas say I changed but I'm living it up
Shit if money didn't change you, you ain't getting enough
Fuck coppin a car, I'm Tryna fly to the stars
Smooth on the moon and I be mobbing to mars
Niggas say I'm ill, y'all ain't telling me shit
Cuz the nights we was ill, y'all ain't help me with shit
Ooh now my money change drastic, The coupe do gymnastic
The doors lift up and the roof do a back flip
Zooming through traffic, probably with a bad bitch
Slash actress soon we on our way to Saks Fifth
Life was so tragic, all of that was past tense
Now I'm living lavish, this got to be magic
[Outro]
If I should die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord I rest in peace
If I die before I wake
Please rejoice this song I sing
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord I rest in peace
Verse 1]
Food getting lower, money coming slower
