Tribulations Lyrics

Blessed with another day

Thank the lord with prayer

Feeling like a miracle we wasn't supposed make it here

Devils tried to break us here

Weathered thru the strongest storms

Babies in the arms of they mothers that was holding on to

Faith for brighter tomorrow, her son and father scorned

Victim to a wicked land

Pawns within a bigger plan

Why can't they understand

They choose to turn a blinded eye

With no humanity

Like demons only live inside

They black hearts

Trapped here where pistols and the crack spark

And we ain't bring in either but take the rap God

It hard here

Like everywhere we turn they show our flaws

Fear they instill in the masses

We bear the scars tears they roll down

Living close to rivers we was sold down

They tell us never remember

Them towns with sundown slogans on the billboards

Nooses for the black boys

And we still feel that old Jim Crow

The new age tabloid is mainstream media

Lies is what they feeding us as truth

Ain't they even pressure em' for proof

Just long as we was demonized

Slandered and dehumanized

And still kept a smile on our face

Though we faced with harshest of conditions here

Crooked politicians steer

The masses from divine light

Pastor sent to blind sight

Stepped in the limelight with hopes to raise the darkest veil

For my people from hood to cells

We done been through it all

Came through the fire

And we still standing strong through the trials

And the Tribulations

The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all

Came through the fire

And we still standing strong through the trials

And the Tribulations

The Tribulations, Oh

We survived through this hell realm

Projects to the jail cells

Heroin to crack rock

Poverty's the backdrop

Court with no hoops, glass shattered on the blacktop

Schools with no books

Crack vials in the sandbox

Graffiti landmarks we dedicated to the slain

Still pouring out the drank for those who died in vain

And still we thriving chasing dreams

Laughed away pain

In every struggle is a lesson

Every loss a gain, looking for the light

For his family he gone make it right, hustling every night

Heard for freedom one must pay a price

Blood, sweat and tears, it appears is nature's currency

And we pay it forward, til' the balance of a eternity

Is paid up with no debt, heaven at our doorsteps

Til then we waiting patiently, these demons never breaking me

And still we hustle brazenly survival is the only goal

By any means we ain't die break or fold

We done been through it all

Came through the fire

And we still standing strong through the trials

And the Tribulations

The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all

Came through the fire

And we still standing strong through the trials

And the Tribulations

The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all

Came through the fire

And we still standing strong through the trials

And the Tribulations

The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all

Came through the fire

And we still standing strong through the trials

And the Tribulations

The Tribulations, Oh
