Barrington Levy - Struggla lyrics

[Hook] Struggla (me nah give up) Struggla (me nah give up) Struggla (me nah give up) [Verse 1] Open up the gate, let my prayer rise up And I struggle everyday just to get myself up From the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship Time and again, one is bound to slip We rip through these days We flip through the age, survive, stay alive We won't trip in the haze or get lost in the maze I know it's just a phase but I dread it, dread it, dread it [Chorus] But I won't let my life go to waste I'm a struggla (me nah give up) Rise and never fall cause I been through it all I'm a struggla (me nah give up) So ask yourself and think twice Would you want to live the life of struggla? (Me nah give up) Oh, we pay the cost, the pain and all the loss of a Struggla, me nah give up [Verse 2] Sell to the youth them dreams of ease and fame You life Will be a breeze when you got a big name Cash, fast, fast cars to escape all of the pain Escape your brain and so it stays the same We would not lay down, (keep on fighting) We won't live in vain (keep on climbing) We won't be drained (keep rearranging And I got to maintain (keep elevating) [Chorus] [Bridge] There's something wrong with a system That leaves its people victim Keep on slipping, can't seem to catch up Try to rise at night but my legs they stay stuck There's something wrong in a system That leaves its children victim (A part of the plan to destroy the poor man) Through the pressure we keep elevating Tribulations, barriers and road blocks Will come up along the way but that can't hold me back I'm a struggla, say move more decisive [Chorus] [Hook]
