Open up the gate   Let my prayer rise up   And I struggle every day just to get myself up   For the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship   Time again one is bound to slip   We rip through these days   We flip through the age   Survive stay alive we won't trip in the haze   Lost in the maze   I know it's just a phase   But I dread it dread it dread it   I won't let my life go to waste   I'm a struggla      Rise and never fall cause I been through it all      So ask yourself and think twice   Would you want to live your life      Oh we pay the cost   The pain and all the loss      Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame      Will be a breeze when you got a big name   Cash fast fast cars to escape all of the pain      Escape your brain and so it stays the same      We would not lay down      We won't live in vain      We won't be drained      And I got to maintain      I won't let my life go to waste   I'm a struggla      Rise and never fall cause I been through it all      So ask yourself and think twice   Would you want to live your life      Oh we pay the cost   The pain and all the loss      There's something wrong with the system   That leaves it's people victim      Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up   Try to rise at night but my legs they stay stuck      There's something wrong in the system   That leaves it's children victim      ..      I won't let my life go to waste   I'm a struggla      Rise and never fall cause I been through it all      So ask yourself and think twice   Would you want to live your life      Oh we pay the cost   The pain and all the loss      Oh we pay the cost   The pain and all the loss      Rise and never fall cause I been through it all      So ask yourself and think twice   Would you want to live your life      Oh we pay the cost   The pain and all the loss      ...      Open up the gates let my prayer rise up      Oh we pay the cost   The pain and all the loss
