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

Once in a while will you try to give One little thought to me Though someone else may be Nearer your heart? Once in a while will you dream Of the moments I shared with you Moments before we two Drifted apart? In love's smoldering ember One spark may remain If love still can remember That spark may burn again I know that I'll be contented With yesterday's memory Knowing you think of me Once in a while In love's smoldering ember One spark may remain If love still can remember The spark may burn again I know that I'll be contented With yesterday's memory Knowing you think of me Once in a while

Once in a while You end up in a town Its doors open up for you Step outside to look up and see The sky's looking back at you The lights rain down Once in a while You get a little help You least expected too Look in the mirror A couple times you see If all of it is true And your mind's On a bed of clouds Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a while You get a little lost In the fault between the trees Stumbling out upon the waiting arms Of the woman of your dreams And your love Comes raining down Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While

I've been drunk all night You keep calling Are they happy now? Watchin' us falling Secret we should hide Don't know if I can It's who we are This is who I am Oh tonight they are up for love But our world Isn't ready To Understand us Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us Driving to the hills Chasing the sun We are just two boys Don't know why we run If we end it now Heavens got no tears We can fly so high Far away from here Find some light They are up for love But our world Isn't ready If there's open scars Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us Let them going You know we should try Oh you know we should try If this what we want You know in our lives It happens just one time There's only one chance Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us
