Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be
Cause the world is spending money like they're on a shopping spree
Wrinkles should indicate where smiles once been
People actin' innocent but they are guilty as sin
And I remember someone sayin' they know me so well
How do you know me when you don't even know yourself?
Everyone have their own lives to live
But yet, they still thinkin' who we gonna out-live
Who we foolin' all we need is love
Love have no face cause it come from above
I think the world is out of touch
All empty promises with no trust
Problem comes you catch fear
It makes you really wanna just disappear
But have no fear off their spear
You can cut my skin but my soul is here
Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Sticks and stones only break bones
But words can shatter your soul
You walk around with a plastic smile thinking everything is under control
But only he knows, that I don't know
Only he see's where the wind blows
Only he can tell a friend from a foe
Cause a friend ain't a friend if you out in the cold
Cause life's unraveling can't you see
Can't get a job in these days I see
Can't go to clubs if you got no I.D.
Everyone thinks we're a bunch of monkey's
Now, everyone needs a six sense of direction
If you don't got that you'll be in the house of Korrection, Imperfection,
Everyone is scared of rejection
Where I live the kids need a major re-connection.
Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Throw on your Nike's, toss on your cap
We are going on a journey to see what you have
You have two beautiful kids and a wonderful wife
Nice car, big house, livin' the suburban life
Now I realize all the pain in your eyes
Never saw it before, now you hold no lies
I see your pain, shine like the sky
Blistering my skin, now I wish you would cry
3 am I dread the days to come
So confused in life, forgot where you came from
For designer labels, and money but you got none
Lost in what you do, you decided to run
Life seemed tough, but you got through it somehow
Now I reminisce and analyze, then and now
Now it's apparent that all is possible
Live is priceless and money is toss-able
Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
Everyday is a struggle you gotta face it eye to eye
Everyday is a struggle you gotta keep your head up high
Every day is a struggle you gotta reach up to the sky
