I can see it It's funny man Cause it's like it's not going nowhere And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle I see my pain in your eyes man So I know you're feelin' me It's that twinkle man That sign of struggle I've seen it In me Cause everyday I can't help but see it People ain't satisfied And you're hatin' your 9 to 5 And Everybody wanna live another life But ain't no length you go or mountain you climb Not to better your days All That would do is leave room for people to say "I guess you're livin' better now Share a little bit of that cheddar now" Cause I remember days back when A brother was hustlin' and robbin' too I done tossed the baretta now On a whole nother level now Still I can't enjoy my fame Unless my people doin' the same And gettin' money too Oh once in awhile And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more Once in awhile And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more Cause every time you ask me, I'm grindin' It shouldn't have to be that way You shouldn't have to pay my way I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day Got a little little problem on the way Bounty hunters checkin' state to state Child support lady on your case Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid Oh what must I do That's what you'll be askin' God please hold it down for me Don't let Satan get the hold of me I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too But it happened a lot worse to my brother Muhammad thank God he recovered Once in awhile And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more Look in your eyes And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more 'Cause I see your pain now 'Cause I see your pain now I can feel you strain now And I can see you cryin' And inside you're dyin' We're no longer the same now But you got to make change now Once in awhile And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more Once in awhile And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more Don't wanna cry no more And I can see That you don't ever want to struggle no more And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry now more
