Life Is A Struggle & Pain, I can't see the
Sunny days 'fore the rain, G O D please
Help me to maintain, because I don't wanna die
If I'm livin' in vein.
[Cl'Che:]
Sometimes I just wanna scream
But I know G O D will make it right for me
When I feel like I can't take no more of these rugged streets
I let him take over, now my mind is free from worries
So many negatives I can't fall
Got my cheese & Pac's are posted on my wall
If I make any more mistakes I can now learn from 'em all 'cause I'm grown now
I found him, so you know I'm strong now
I write my songs with plenty of pride
For my people that done burned strowns for years & died.
Don't you wanna grow over your child so you can know who you are?
Instead of puttin' the world on pause, just to drive that fancy car
Hey boy, I want you to feel me now
Cl'Che know you got it pain won't love you anyhow
Need you to help that little sister you know, build some esteem
You wanna know what's on her mind & not in her jeans
Let's make this world a better place for the livin'
Let's make our minds a better place for thinkin' & listenin'
For my people, let's try to make a change
'Cause I don't wanna die if I'm livin' in vein.

[Z-Ro:]
Even with God in my life it's still hard in my life
Muthaf**ers call it so close to be fraud in my life
And I can't understand, Z-Ro ain't doin' no wrong
That's probably why they be f**in' with me, thinkin' I'm all song
But it's all gravy you wanna hate me then go on hate me
'Cause I've been lookin' for reasons to take it off safety
And a muthaf**er don't make me for me, lay me feelin' on me
Like nobody don't really want me, the pressure creepin' up on me
I wonder what happy is 'cause I've never known it
People I meet ain't partners, they potential opponents
Cloudy days & the place that I come from runnin' from cops
Put it down in the alley way when they pa** I'm bustin' some shots
Sorry God, I know I ain't got no business sellin' dope & trippin' God
Just show me some inspiration when you see me slippin' God
'Cause when I die I don't want it to be in vein
I'd rather serve in Heaven, won't be in the King in the flame.

Know you can go anywhere you wanna go
You can be anything you wanna be
You can see anything you wanna see
If you keep G O D first everyday
You it hurts, the daily livin' while you flippin'
Through your hood with your partners kickin'
Click trippin' don't know why he had a short livin'
You don't know, yeah you know
He ain't the first, oh how the truth hurts.
[Z-Ro:]
So I'm a go where I wanna go
And if I'm pressin' for a fo' that's what I'm gonna blow
Long as my bills paid & my rent paid, it's all gravy
'Cause when I was on this ain't not one of my people saved me
Life Is A Struggle & A Pain, but I'm maintainin'
I pray I won't get found naked with my brains hangin'
Too many n***as tryin' to get me for my paper stack
So I'm a be 'about a player, now where the haters at.
