| Yeah, what’s happening my peoples
|
| That’s how we’re struggling
|
| Yeah, I know it’s hard out here man
|
| But ain’t nobody said it was gonna be easy
|
| You know what I mean?
|
| Together we stand
|
| That’s how we’re struggling
|
| Divided we fall
|
| What’s happenin ya’ll?
|
| What’s crackin?
|
| Ain’t nothing changed since I was a kid
|
| Nothing but the days, months and the years
|
| Putting it down and keeping it serious
|
| Trying to keep from shedding these tears
|
| You would have thought that it would have got better
|
| Making that rapping and doing these shows
|
| But to me it only got worse
|
| Close to (?) nobody knows
|
| The real steam, the reason why, I do the things that I do
|
| Getting so high, drinking these brews
|
| Feeling like I’ve got nothing to lose
|
| I payed my dues and the Lord blessed me
|
| But now I pray to save my mother, and my brother
|
| Lord please help me
|
| Heavy loads should be for heavy people
|
| But niggas just trying to provide for their family
|
| Facing cops and evil
|
| And we need our higher powers
|
| So what I’m going to do is keep my prayers to the sky for you
|
| Won’t tell no lie for you, but nigga I’m willing to die for you
|
| Undivided, reunited
|
| With the fist in the pyramid
|
| Right about now I’m about to tip my lid
|
| Somebody tell me what this is
|
| A dream, a reality, my sanity about to give in
|
| Got the fame and the fortune but this ain’t living
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| From the past, the present through, I’m talking about the struggle
|
| The shit hit me so hard I be swearing I’m seeing devils
|
| Sometimes it makes me wonder how I hold and maintain
|
| No matter which direction always seems against the grain
|
| What to do, what to do? |
| I’m praying for solution
|
| In the course that I be kicking have me in a institution
|
| Trying to rid this life, of one I didn’t chose
|
| How you gonna fuck me, I payed my dues
|
| Every minute of my life I be trying to focus
|
| Just when I think I got it someone make me know it
|
| Ain’t the way I need to be
|
| And my eyes way heavy but
|
| I keep on pushing 'cause I ain’t livin' for nothing
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| On a quest for peace, on a quest for peace
|
| But I can’t escape these wicked streets
|
| Got me to realise that I could jeopardize
|
| A chance for my kids to be
|
| What they want to be and what they could be
|
| And I ain’t trying to be that hoody
|
| But I wish somebody understood me so they could see the good in me
|
| Trying to do thangs to make the world better
|
| And everybody hittin' me to be doing what I’m doing
|
| Strickly out here chasin this cheddar
|
| Ain’t nothin' free ain’t nothin' fair to me
|
| So all in all it’s only me
|
| Take care of me and you should be doing the same thang
|
| My niggas complain'
|
| Trying to do to much explainin'
|
| When the key is really maintainin'
|
| Waitin' for the Lord to stop the rainin'
|
| Playing it safe we got to check ourselves
|
| Before we wreck ourselves
|
| First we got to respect ourselves
|
| 'Cause a nigga won’t give us nothin' else
|
| Don’t sit there and talk me to death
|
| Go and get off your thang
|
| I’m a see a change when you make a change
|
| I believe I know the game
|
| Enduring our pain 'cause you got to take it
|
| And if you want it you’ll make it
|
| See the drama and shake it
|
| Get your mind right
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| He’s on drugs 'cause he’s unhealthy
|
| Family’s splitting up 'cause they’re struggling
|
| Somebody out there, don’t you feel the need?
|
| Feeling hopeless 'cause I’m in (?slowly?)
|
| I’m lookin' for a better day
|
| I be praying for a better day
|
| I’ve been lookin' for a better way
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road
|
| This ain’t livin', but it’s the only thing I know
|
| This ain’t livin', I’ve got to find a higher road |
