Lyrics:

* send corrections to the typist



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 verse

Sendin' a shout out to all the freedom fighters

throughout 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]
