Looking for hip hop tracks about....

[djryval]

struggle, endurance, or children. i'm not looking for a big list, just throw out a few songs that come to mind. i need to add some cuts to the hook for a project i'm working on and those 3 words describe the theme of one of the songs. i'd prefer to keep it real hip hop, underground type stuff. none of that dirty south or crunk business. it can be old school as well. if a song comes to mind that has some good scratch lines in it, let me know.
