The Beauty In The Struggle

Folder: 
FINISHED SONGS

I find honor in the fact

I can't afford to be corrupt

So I find the beauty in the struggle

Every day that I wake up



From the day's that I said "Fuck it"

Blew it off and just got high

To the days my faith in God

Was all I had to get me by



In everything I go through

I always try to find the blessing

So even when I fall

I find the wisdom in the lesson



I continue to look for God

In my every day decisions

To see the spirit of a man

And not be blinded by religion



It's time to raise my voice

So they have no choice but to hear it

As I show the world through poem

The evolution of a spirit



As I say



I know I got to be strong

Even if I ain't got much to go on

Just put these trying times behind you

And find the beauty in the struggle



Lord knows I don't want to be here

So I need his strength to see clear

Don't let these trying times blind you

And find the beauty in the struggle



Ain't nobody perfect

Everyone has fallen down

But the strong continue to carry on

Cause they lift theirselves from off the ground



Do what they think is right

To better their existance

Continue to live their life

And let their choices make the diffrence



For every father's hustles

To put food up on the table

To every mother's struggle

To make sure her family's stable



I know this life is hard

And at times it can leave you breathless

Just know that you are loved

And that your light is precious



So never let them beat you

Never let them hold you down

As we chant down the walls of Babylon

The world will hear the sound



As we say



I know I got to be strong

Even if I ain't got much to go on

Just put these trying times behind you

And find the beauty in the struggle



Lord knows I don't want to be here

So I need his strength to see clear

Don't let these trying times blind you

And find the beauty in the struggle  



We find the beauty in the struggle

Cause the struggle is all we got

Take pride in what we have

Even though it ain't alot



Push on and perservere

Even when we make mistakes

And no matter how it hurts

We don't give in to rage and hate



So Lord grant us the strength

To forgive those that do us wrong

And for those that choose to hate

May they find compassion in the poem



Just stand by our side

In these times that we are facing

And let us feel your spirit

In each and every situtation



Then who can be aginst us

As we hold our head up high

And show them that the dream

Of reverend King is still alive



As we say



I know that I got to be strong

Even if I ain't got much to go on

Just put these trying times behind you

And find the beauty in the struggle



Lord knows I don't want to be here

So I need his strength to see clear

Don't let these trying times blind you

And find the beauty in the struggle
