The grandson of legendary Country Music icon Waylon Jennings, Struggle is part of a long legacy of Gangsters, Outlaws and Rock Stars. Growing up as a black sheep in his family, he was forced to fight his way out of the streets of West Nashville, eventually making his way into the studio to laying the foundation for what would soon become his personal contribution to the Jennings family legacy. But his past finally caught up with him in the fall of 2011 when he was arrested on State and Federal drug conspiracy charges.

After being incarcerated for five years, Struggle has gone through a complete transformation -- mentally, emotionally and physically. Through sharing his story on social media networks, Struggle has grown emotionally and intellectually, assuming a new level of social responsibility and becoming an inspirational and motivational force in the lives of people all around the world. He maintained the ability to oversee his career and his public persona through his constant communication with his management team. Struggle's message of strength, determination and courage in the face of adversity has been amplified by his daily presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. With the support of Yelawolf, his Slumerican family, as well as his business partner Sebastian Marbury, Struggle managed to develop and maintain a direct connection with his fans despite his being incarcerated.

After being released from prison in January of 2016, Struggle inked a deal with Yelawolf's recently formed Slumerican record label, signaling his return and officially beginning his rise to success. With the launch of a popular documentary series on YouTube and the upcoming release of his sophomore album, Struggle is finally poised to take his place as a true modern day Outlaw and secure his position as the Godfather of the burgeoning Outlaw Hip Hop Rock & Roll movement.

Train Wreck
Struggle Jennings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born in poor condition, addiction kills ambition
Division in the family due to personal decision
Suspicious ′bout religion to mama's a vicious vision
Daddy′s still in prision not forgiven, deep incision
No family dinners in the kitchen,
Special moments missin', non-fiction
Chaos glisten, racisms risen,
Lambs crimson, bleeds from eye of faithfulists

Sad faces on the pages of facebook lookin' for praises
Exchanges of some love amazing grace from above
Then the rumors get disgusting, what the fuck have we become
We indulge in the drama catch me outside
How bout that, how bout this
Let′s get back to lovin′ our neighbor white or black
So fuck rap, i'd rather go back to the trap, then conform
Sunshine gets ignored, but we swarm to watch a storm
Reborn in the flame inspired lives wit′ my flaws
They don't care about my cause, just love the wreck i caused

Stories of greatness never reach the pages
And real heros of today remain nameless
The worlds full of crowds wit′ empty stages
But the whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
They'll never tell you failure fuels greatness
Them wild hearts will always remain tameless
They said that pain would never make us famous
But the whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
The whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
The whole world would stop to watch a train wreck

Many days i wake up just want to leave it all behind
Been confined to these walls i built this prision i designed
Try to find where stars align in these empty skies of mine
I feel inclined to remind myself it′s part of gods design

Got my family out the mud we cleaned up nice and now we shine
But the chaos of makin' it seems to steal you're piece of mind
Enjoin′ life is how i define success and yes i′m blessed
But i still stress 'cuz the more i make the more that they expect
I got nothin′ left but everything seven kids and my wife
If i'm gone workin′ to make a livin' am i livin′ life
Spent too much time gettin' money just to buy back time
Memories lost inside the grind flip the sign, i resign
Devine intervention, that i got famous while in prision
Not to mention my court case got all the fans attention
Now they listen to my music to escape their own reality
But will they stop listenin' if i′m not rappin′ 'bout my tragedies

Stories of greatness never reach the pages
And real heros of today remain nameless
The worlds full of crowds wit′ empty stages
But the whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
They'll never tell you failure fuels greatness
Them wild hearts will always remain tameless
They said that pain would never make us famous
But the whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
The whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
The whole world would stop to watch a train wreck
