Our Struggle Lyrics

You got a busy day, I'm sure there ain't no doubt

You gotta pay them bills, gotta feed them mouths

You look outside to see what's out and about

And it's the same damn story, world is headed south

You tell the face in the mirror it'll be okay

Cause you're safe and secure, you got some cash in the bank

But remember what happened back in 2008

When they took it all away, and there was no one to blame

It's an age-old story, it's a slight of hand

Just distract 'em from the truth so we can pillage the land

Keep 'em in fear, then we'll make our demand

And they'll give up their freedoms, baby, on command

The sad endin' story, been happnin' for years

To keep a people down you gotta fill 'em with fear

Then you wipe their eyes, dry the tears

And tell 'em that you love 'em while you're jackin' their gear

Our struggle is not with a person's skin

You gotta love the person within,

Our struggle is not with different prayin' men

You gotta pray to let the healing begin,

Our struggle is not with those voted in

That party baby is only pretend,

Our struggle is not who take the bullets in

Just to save your skin

Our struggle is love

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood

But against the rulers, against the authorities

Against the powers of this dark world

And against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms

How come so many lose, and so few win

We're all God's kids I guess that makes us kin

Too busy to care about the state we're in

Some call it indifference, naw I call it a sin

There's versions of hell, I'll tell you mine

It's a thought-controlled world with the heart left behind

Our struggle is not with a person's skin

You gotta love the person within,

Our struggle is not with different prayin' men

You gotta pray to let the healing begin

Our struggle is not with those voted in

That party baby is only pretend,

Our struggle is not who take the bullets in

Just to save your skin

Our struggle is love
