hmm the struggle won't last for long
the struggle won't last for long
no why do we struggle along
will it be like this forever
yeah the struggle won't last for long
the struggle won't last for long
all you got to do is believe you can make it through
i rhyme for today but try to change tomorrow
trying to erase the anger the pain the sorrow
some say i show no emotion say my heart is hollow
but inside emotions are exploding
i'm trying to influence the future
but the future don't exist when track contained
humanity will no longer move from this day
religion don't exist greed is the basis for everything
that's the thing we live for
die for maybe even kill for
that's why some of our loved ones
are torn from our side
then i look up to the heavens and i cry and ask god why
why must i struggle and strive to try to succeed
all i gotta do is believe
believe in him and hope that he believes in me
i'm talking about the man above g o d

money power possessions
this is our confessions
criminals in presence climbing over
the women and the children left to be defenseless
blood diamonds africans working as slaves
there's no fair trade got kids underage
working for days for less than a minimum wage
yo there's too many families living with aids
the apocalypse call it's the common of age
life is like a so cover your face
it's getting scary out here for your colour or race
you might die one night long kiss goodnight
innocent life but never got to say goodbye

i got tears in my eyes and i realize
nuclear weapons cause more war than peace

the foot soldier feels like his life is over
constantly looking over shoulder
but everyone serves a purpose
his purpose wants to watch his turn
but go berserk when someone steps upon the surface
he's wide awake
he said for days he's roaming patrolling
from nine to five
for five to nine
from now until the end of his life
he cries eternally scared of his futures uncertainty
but crime is the only way
and it'll be a crime if i say that crime
don't pay i don't wanna get sucked in
involved in this gang culture
fearing for my life and running from the rustler
i want the rep want the money want the pen
want the liquor want the wits want the friends
but i don't wanna go to pen
my only road is music and i'mma use it
