Everyday you give your more to receive your less. (Why?)/ I know it's hard to believe that mess. (So:)/ When you get home and you feel depressed.(Just:)/ Put on my tape and relieve the stress./ And yo, cut the system let it bleed to death./ Ain't nothing but your mission never leave your quest./ In pole position - speed up lead the rest./ They don't need to rest, they need to see we blessed./ Yo, life is like a tide - shit come and it goes./ Somebody had to cry cus somebody wanted it so./ You have to fight to feel the harmony flow,/ but it's hard when the light's both so far and so close Bridge So when you fed up, and you tired of life:/ keep your head up, you'll reach higher heights./ Yo get up for the time is right./ My people step up, and shine your light. Chorus Cus all of the trouble we've been through,/ and all of the evil that men do:/ makes us harder the struggle continues./ Come on my sisters and brothers and sing too./ Feel how the harmonies link you,/ while the struggle continues./ We got so many things to/ say and do now… I know that life hurts. We all need a night nurse./ I need to write words - I need the right words./ To come across and make you feel my thirst./ Without this so called freedom of speech I might burst./ Transform the pain into a tight a verse./ Sendin' a shout out to all the freedom fighters/ t hroughout the whole U 'n I verse - / winning this struggle unless we die first./ Yo when you hurt so much that it's hard to speak,/ and it hurts so much you can hardly breath./ You wanna get up and fight but you far too weak./ Feels like a too long night for your heart to beat./ They wanna kiss and make up but talk is cheap./ You'd like to dis 'em straight up cus you're scarred too deep./ Don't be fooled, recognize the mark of the beast./ Stay true to yourself and you'll be hard to beat. Chorus I've seen so many different faces, different places./ I've seen so many people strugglin' no matter the ages./ From your grand dads grand dad to newborn babies./ The answer that they givin' is all the same old phrases./ I've seen the pain gone away with medication/ and dirty syringes in dirty stair cases./ I've seen lives slaughtered by dictators./ Nowadays nothing is news cus nothing amazes./ I've seen so much that is hard to write,/ but it seems that's just a part of life,/ and the people who make us apologize/ is the same who make people starve tonight./ And when your mind sees no difference between wrong or right/ and your life sees no difference between dark or bright,/ and when not wakin' up is your only spark of light./ Remember, we got a war to fight! Bridge Chorus The struggle continues till it suddenly hits you./ The biggest one is the struggle within you./ Kill out the hate that is bubblin' in you,/ before your mental poverty ends you./ Can you hear us… Chorus
