[KRS-One - It's All a Struggle lyrics]
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 facing 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 playing 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
It's all a struggle - but don't
Let the challenges bug you
Or the government drug 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 fifty fifty
The city it'self 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 - and
Most people's struggles are doubled
You ain't the only one with
A challenge facing 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 playing 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
