It's All A Struggle - KRS-One
It's all a struggle
Tryin to make it day to day
It's all a struggle
From my hood to around your way
It's all a struggle
Single parents all by theyself
It's all a struggle
Diseases decreasin your health
It's all a struggle
Fiends swearin that's they last puff
It's all a struggle
Hustler tryin to avoid handcuffs
No matter what you do
Who you are or where you from
Rich poor black white
At the end of the day
It's all a struggle
And most people's struggles are doubled
You ain't the only one
With a challenge facin some trouble
Look at the woman chewed
Up by the dog with no muzzle
Or the workers that got
Trapped underground in that tunnel
Some kids are playin in pools
Others in puddles
When they listen to the news
The propoganda is subtle
But it's time for you to know
That the cryin got to go
Release the guilt that you
Built and let it flow
Slow and low that is the tempo
Move slow and on the low
This you gotta know
You don't get the muscles
Without the hard struggles
You ain't the only one out
Here tryin to get dough
From the hustler to the preacher
To the government leaders
From the airline pilot to the
Chef to the teachers
We linked in the same huddle
In the same tussle'n'bustle
'Cause at the end of the day
It's all a struggle
Tryin to make it day to day
It's all a struggle
From my hood to around your way
It's all a struggle
Single parents all by theyself
It's all a struggle
Diseases decreasin your health
It's all a struggle
Fiends swearin that's they last puff
It's all a struggle
Hustler tryin to avoid handcuffs
No matter what you do
Who you are or where you from
Rich poor black white
At the end of the day
It's all a struggle
But don't let the challenges bug you
Or the government ** you
Or the thieves in the street
Beat and mug you
Build your tunnel under the rubble
Come up on the other side eye
To eye with the trouble
Look at the Twin Towers crumble
Look at the religious leadership
Stumble everybody struggles
But not everybody comes through nifty
It's fiftyfifty
The city itself will outrun you quickly
Whether you be healthy or sickly
Whether you be wealthy or thrifty
Ugly or pretty
Everybody's tryin to get 50's and 100's
I taught this at UCLA just off Sunset
Now run get Ruminations
It's a book that I published
For the healing of this nation
In just a few chapters we run through
Some possible solutions
'Cause at the end of the day
It's all a struggle
Tryin to make it day to day
It's all a struggle
From my hood to around your way
It's all a struggle
Single parents all by theyself
It's all a struggle
Diseases decreasin your health
It's all a struggle
Fiends swearin that's they last puff
It's all a struggle
Hustler tryin to avoid handcuffs
No matter what you do
Who you are or where you from
Rich poor black white
At the end of the day
It's all a struggle
