[Intro: Irv Gotti] Dear Lord I come to You a humble man Asking your forgiveness for all my sins that I have committed throughout my life And Lord, I ask of You one more thing Have mercy on the souls of my enemies, for they not know what they do As we proceed, chapter two [Chorus: Ashanti] I know it gets hard for us sometimes And I know we can't stop living this life I know it gets harder every day But I know we can't stop living this way [Verse 1: Ashanti] Some days, I would say, 'there's got to be a better way' I don't know if I wanna live my life like this for each and every day But now I've found that I've got to stay Even though it gets hard, I've came this far And I can't live my life no other way [Chorus: Ashanti] I know it gets hard for us sometimes And I know we can't stop living this life I know it gets harder every day But I know we can't stop living this way [Verse 2: Ashanti] I tried to figure out if there's another path for me 'Cause all of these ups and downs and in's and out's be kind of stressing me But I could never see myself Living like nothing else, it's hard to tell But damn, I know this life too well
[Bridge: Ashanti] Sometimes, people just don't know What they know and what to follow Even when it don't seem right Give up buddy, live your life [Chorus: Ashanti] I know it gets hard for us sometimes And I know we can't stop living this life I know it gets harder every day But I know we can't stop living this way [Interlude: Ashanti] Oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh [Chorus: Ashanti] I know it gets hard for us sometimes And I know we can't stop living this life I know it gets harder every day But I know we can't stop living this way I know it gets hard for us sometimes And I know we can't stop living this life I know it gets harder every day But I know we can't stop living this way [Outro: Irv Gotti] Yeah For all my peoples Living that everyday life Sometimes you gon' have ups, sometimes you gon' have downs Fight through that, y'all Keep pushing it Don't ever stop pushing, y'all Don't ever stop believing Take the good with the bad You know?
