Struggle of Life

Location

I miss being a kid when life was fun

Now all I am is on the run

 

Trying to hustle and work to come up with that tuition money

Bank account's zero, which isn't funny

 

My dad works hard, trying to get his son to make it

When I see him struggle I just can't take it

Trying to succeed, get that pressure off, shake it, shake it

 

Mom at hospital got gallbladder surgery

Hard to focus on school when all I did was worry

Teachers don't care, wanting me to unleash my fury

 

I work hard and study overtime

Because being successful is on my mind

Looking for God's help give me a sign

 

Trying to make a living so I keep going to college 

Teacher's preaching, spreading that knowledge 

Test coming up, have to get my facts polished

 

Take the test,realease the stress

Now I think it's time for a rest

 

Rest? No not a choice

Can't talk about all my issues or I'll lose my voice

 

Life is a struggle we know it's true

If we all help eachother out, that'd be cool
