[Spoken]
5
(To all the youth in the world that thinks nobody understands...
6
Well I understand that)
7
It's been hard for me
8
Trying strugglin' in the streets
9
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
10
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
11
It's been hard for me
12
Trying strugglin' in the streets
13
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
14
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
15
I grew up as a 70's baby
16
Brought up in poverty and sin
17
Makin' jokes at the crazy lady
18
Never acred how she was dealin' within
19
I knew all the words to
20
Micheal Jackson's album as a kid
21
And when it came to the biggest crusher
22
No he wasn't my man
23
At the age of seven years old
24
A strange thing happened to me
25
Before I even saw
26
My life had flashed before me
27
And I've got the mark to show
28
And it became a thang of beauty
29
So I gotta let you know
30
That my life, that my life
31
It's been hard for me
32
Trying strugglin' in the streets
33
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
34
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
35
It's been hard for me
36
Trying strugglin' in the streets
37
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
38
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
39
It's been hard for me
40
Trying strugglin' in the streets
41
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
42
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
43
Now mama's workin' hard all day
44
And she said this before she left home
45
Take care of your little brother
46
Have the place cleaned when I get home
47
All these priorities
48
Me and Tanya had to learn to be grown
49
But at the time for me
50
Being grown had seemed so lone
51
Woke up and I'm seventeen
52
With nothing going for me
53
Except the fact that I sing
54
You know it hurts so much
55
From all the sights that I've seen
56
From abusin' the hole in trust
57
You probably couldn't take some of things
58
That I've lived in my life
59
It's been hard for me
60
Trying strugglin' in the streets
61
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
62
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
63
It's been hard for me
64
Trying strugglin' in the streets
65
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
66
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
67
It's been hard for me
68
Trying strugglin' in the streets
69
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
70
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
71
It's hard and the street's a jungle (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
72
Especially with your pretty colors (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
73
So stay low and keep it humble (I'm telling you, I'm telling you)
74
Black women hold it down, keep your feet on the ground
75
Black men keep searching and you'll be found
76
It's been hard for me
77
Trying strugglin' in the streets
78
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
79
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
80
It's been hard for me
81
Trying strugglin' in the streets
82
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
83
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
84
[Rap by Eve]
85
In this world of continuous bullshit and full clips
86
Seems all we have to pass down is being useless
87
Broken homes, babies all alone, parent's never there
88
No food, no clothes to wear, anger everywhere
89
Ain't no values being taught, no productive thoughts
90
Jealousy rules the world, take shit at any cost
91
Gotta change our state of life, keep it worth livin'
92
God gave us voices to speak and that's our way of givin'
93
It's so much bigger than the furs and the jewels
94
What about encouragin' the youth to do well
95
What about givin' back- what about unifying
96
Shit we all black- get it together
97
Everybody's got their trials and tribulations
98
Learn to change the negative to positive situations
99
Don't hold the lessons that you learn
100
Pass it on and except the blessings that could earn
101
It's been hard for me
102
Trying strugglin' in the streets
103
But where I've been- Is no longer where I'm at
104
And where I'm going- Is not where I'm stoppin' at
