“Common Struggles” is a reflective, soul-baring collaboration between rising independent artist Lousid and legendary lyricist J. Cole. Built on a smooth, jazzy instrumental layered with crisp drums and warm melodic undertones, the track dives deep into the trials that shape us – from early-life hardships and inner battles to navigating growth while staying grounded.
Lousid opens with a raw verse rooted in personal experience, touching on adolescent fights, faith, and staying humble through adversity. J. Cole complements the energy with a seasoned, introspective verse that underscores the universality of struggle and the importance of perspective, wisdom, and grace. Both artists share a common thread: no matter how far you’ve come, humility and perseverance are essential.
This track isn’t about glamorizing the pain it’s about owning it, learning from it, and connecting through it. “Common Struggles” speaks to anyone who’s been knocked down, questioned their path, or fought to stay true in a world that constantly tries to mold them.
