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
