FIGHT TO SURVIVE


FIGHT TO SURVIVE

 

 

 
 
Ever wonder why we fight to survive 
Is it all worth it to live then die 
No given power to take a life
one minute here
then gone in a blink of an eye
Names fade away with the days
people no longer visits your grave

Ever wonder why we fight to survive 
How we tend to forget 
Why Jesus really died 
So much sin in this world 
Turn truth into lies
Hate grows stronger then love 
Barely pray to God above

Ever wonder why we fight to survive 
Everything about a dollar 
Are if you wear a blue collar 
Judge not only by your color
Many tend to forget where they been 
There's a man 
Yeah he's homeless 
People walk by stare and sigh
While he holds up a sigh
Wasting away with time
Looks for food, place to sleep are how to get a dime to feed his next high 

Ever wonder why we fight to survive 
Mother beaten by her children father 
Bruised but really on the inside 
She cries
Everyday is a battle 
She lives in here shadow 
No one cares nothing matters
Constant reminder of where you been and about your sin.

Ever wonder why we fight to survive 
Kids having kids 
Parents in jail can't even make bail 
Black men killing there brother's 
When should they be standing strong with one another.
Keep letting Satan win, keep falling deeper in sin 

Ever wonder why we fight to survive 
Everything's about power 
Wonder why God knocked down babbles tower 
Not realizing we come short of his glory 
Our mind is the devils playground 
Especially when where down 
Still wondering why we fight to survive 
Only get one chance one life 
Let's do what's right 
be a warrior 
we have to survive
