More Struggle, More Pain Lyrics

I'm from where young mothers fall victim to the drug abuse

And, kids fall victim to the child abuse

Where I'm the young girls can be labeled as a prostitute

Do anything for dough, main goal is to get the loot

Is there heaven on earth, if so then let me follow

Cause in my hood all I see is misery and sorrow

Somebody murdered in the street, now the block is hot

No one says a word 'cause its hard to trust the cops

Kids young and underprivileged doing robberies

Can't catch a break so they breaking in for burglaries

Every day it's like somebody get they life taken

Stray bullet caused a victim of some pussies shooting

Without a gun most these niggas soft as cotton balls

Cause in a fair one they know they'll probably take a loss

This shit is real man, there's got to be a better way

Lost in the music only way to ventilate

One day at a time, no more running from it

We against all odds, we got to overcome it

Everyday another struggle more pain

We got to stand strong if we want to see change

One day at a time, no more running from it

We against all odds, we got to overcome it

Everyday another struggle more pain

We got to stand strong if we want to see change

Everyday I go outside and see the poverty

We try to smile but appearance only skin deep


Look deeper and you might find what lies beneath

My people struggling, feeling trapped for eternity

We want the nice cars and the big house

And the fly clothes and shoes when we step out

But in reality, stay behind on the bills

Prioritize material 'cause how it make us feel

Dead end jobs, millionaires paying pocket change

Seeing my people struggle really put my heart in pain

I sit and wish that I really could make a change

Feeling helpless, 'cause I can't do a thing

This life is rigged, it feels like the worlds against us

Set up to fail, the system is just made to end us

This shit is real man, there's got to be a better way

Lost in the music only way to ventilate

One day at a time, no more running from it

We against all odds, we got to overcome it

Everyday another struggle more pain

We got to stand strong if we want to see change

One day at a time, no more running from it

We against all odds, we got to overcome it

Everyday another struggle more pain

We got to stand strong if we want to see change

One day at a time, no more running from it

We against all odds, we got to overcome it

Everyday another struggle more pain

We got to stand strong if we want to see change

No more running from it

Got to overcome it

More struggle, more pain

Stand strong, see change
