The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead
Imagine living on a mountain next door to the sky
Overlooking the tree tops watching the birds fly
View of a lake that will glisten at night when the moon shine
Imagine what that life be like, no more hardship and drama
Just comfort and wealth no colds and flu's we all live with inifite health
No reason for tears blood sweat and every thing else that comes with it we all Living, with no reason to doubt, back to reality, back to an unsatisfied salary the day to day, struggle that my fam suffers badly and when it seems like it gets a bit better gradually a casualty will take place leaving people unhappy man but still i move forward hoping for better things and that one day I'll live it instead of imagining my neck tilted up my head to the clouds my feet on the ground, come and talk to me
The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead
Back to my life back to my job back to the slavehouse working from 9 to 5 Back to reality you know it ain't music back to the dramas the same old bullshit the same old chores taking tolls on my working hand the
Lord knows I ain't no factory working man
feel like my old man trying to support a family and
mad at the world cause the world don't understand me
Cause everyday I hope and I pray for the right cause and
Even if my life gets harder I got God
I'm feeling so much pressure on my shoulders, I'm brushing off all the hatred in my direction I'm able to carry on
Yeah I know I ain't perfect but you know I got to try for all the blood, sweat and tears my pop sacrificed
My necks tilted up my face to the clouds my feet on the ground I'm talking to you Lord
The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead
Everyday I wake up I'm frustrated it hurts not looking forward to a morning of work
Its like I'm glued to my mattress why I cant get out of bed the 6AM alarm's doing my head in I swallow my pride
Feel like I'm tied up in a knot like I'm walking on a treadmill still in the same spot
9 to 5 minimum wage is definitely not for me
Me I don't need binocs to see the amount of stress on my shoulders, I'm only a man So I take it out at the gym and press as much as I can
I swear if this is life for me I don't wana live it, I know there's more in store for me than this f***ed up prison
yeah the truth is i made a promise to my family that's why i have to carry the torch like Cathy Freeman man
My necks tilted up my face to the clouds my feet on the ground now talk to me lord
The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead
