You think I don't see

The bullshit yall be plannin

Come with every thing you got

And you will see I'm still standing



Because I refuse defeat

Aginst anything less then the hand of God

I'll die on my feet

For it's this world that's made me hard



So many factors

Tryin to take me off the shelf

So through hardship and struggle

I've learned to rely on myself



You see I'm a warrior

So I got to fight for my life

Got to take care of my people

And make sure their all right



Cause this is a world full of sin

And don't no one give a shit

So I'm a hit this bitch runnin

And grab all I can get



So have ya mind right

Before you step into the waste land

You wanna make it out

Make sure your ass got a plan



Cause in the end

Only the strong survive

And I will do as must

To insure my family will thrive



So dear Lord forgive me

For the things that I do wrong

I'm just tryin to do my best

As I continue to struggle on



Now when your bills are late

We just struggle on

Everyone seems to hate

Still we struggle on



All we got left is our pride

As we struggle on

Do what we must to survive

So we struggle on



We struggle on, we struggle on,

We struggle on

When bad times seem to last long

We struggle on



We struggle on, we struggle on

We struggle on

When everything seems to go wrong

We struggle on

  

This mind-frame

Is hard to maintain

And the marijuana

Is the only thing keeping me sane



So I ask the Lord again

Please deliver me from pain

And anything else

In this dirty ass game



See I seem to shed a tear

With every rhyme that I wrote

So I pour my heart and soul

In every line that I quote



Every word that I've spoke

This is how I cope

Because I refuse to go out

With a gauge or a rope



B-Real's havin illusiuon's

Well I wonder if their the same as mine

I feel like life done passed me by

And I'm not even twenty-nine



I should just now be reachin

My motha-fuckin prime

Yet I'm just gettin by

With the things that I can find



And it ain't fair Lord

I've done paid my dues

But no one seems to care

That I'm destined to lose



You think my life is easy

Walk a mile in my shoes

And you'll come out the other end

Of this singing the blues



Because hard-ship and struggle

Are all that I've seen

Just tryin to make it

In a world so mean



A life time of pain

Has killed my american dream

Suffocated by the silance

And I can't even scream



But yet I struggle on

Striking back with hate and rage

Untill all the pain

Is gone



But yet I struggle on

Striking back with hate and rage

Untill all the pain

Is gone



Now when the bills are late

We just struggle on

And every body seems to hate

We just struggle on



All we got left is our pride

Yet we struggle on

Do what we must to survive

As we struggle on



We struggle on, we struggle on

We struggle on

When bad times seem to last long

We struggle on



We strugle on, we struggle on

We struggle on

When every thing seems to go wrong

We struggle on



For anyone who got lost

In the stuggle

Who learned to get by

By flexing their muscle



For all my people

Who just want to live

Broke as fuck

But still manage to raise they kid's



You know I love you

And I know it gets rough

But I'll be right beside you

When things get tough



So keep your head up

We were bound to shine

Keeping our head above water  

Paitently awaiting our time



Every day that we wake up

We continue to struggle on

And if the shit doesn't kill us

It only helps to make us strong



So we continue to try

Continue to strive

Continue to do as we must

To make sure we survive



As I struggle on

As we struggle on

For anybody that feels this

Just find strength in the song



So we scream out loud

So the whole world will hear it

You can take everything

But you can't break our spirit



And still we struggle on



When the bills are late

We struggle on

And everybody seems to hate

We struggle on



All we have left is our pride

Yet we struggle on

Do what we must to survive

As we struggle on



We struggle on, we struggle on

We struggle on

When bad times seem to last long

We struggle on



We struggle on,we struggle on

We struggle on

When everything seems to go wrong

We struggle on
