Joseph Prielozny - The Struggle lyrics

[Hook: Scootie] Even though it doesn't show Sometimes my shoulders get sore From carrying what feels like the world But I thank God that I'm alright No one else can carry the load That's why I never gave into The struggle [Verse 1] Yeah, Lord give me strength for this cross Through this forgiveness with every day that I lost Mind full of the evil that people against you be lovin' I'm filled with the corruption of sin, sick, and destruction, yeah So many skeletons my mind's become a grave site Spirit so afflicted it's been hard for me to pray at night Bring into perfection a sinner that lay with the lies, filled with the pride that cast Lucifer out of the sky My mind lust-driven Can't keep it off these women They hittin' my seven on the daily to come and get it Mailin' in every day I wake, attacked by all the bigotry Praying for the fruit of the spirit but need a bigger tree [Hook: Scootie] Even though it doesn't show Sometimes my shoulders get sore From carrying what feels like the world But I thank God that I'm alright No one else can carry the load That's why I never gave into The struggle [Verse 2] At the end of the day I'm just a broken vessel Tired and stressed out looking for an escape route And for the longest there was nights filled with fornication - even wives givin' into my affirmation I tried to mask it prayin' it don't ever reach the surface I look at my choices and often question: was it worth it? The fact that I still question that's crazy to me I lowered my core values knowin' none of that garbage was funny Got me feelin' bummy They came to steal and k** And I ain't lyin' when I tell you that the struggle's real Hands together, prayin' daily for holy ambitions And the pure heart fully up to God's vision [Hook: Scootie] Even though it doesn't show Sometimes my shoulders get sore From carrying what feels like the world But I thank God that I'm alright No one else can carry the load That's why I never gave into The struggle
