[00:00.550]
[00:01.090]It's a struggle
[00:01.559]It's got a hold on me
[00:04.101]The universal struggle
[00:06.533]It's got a hold
[00:09.244]It's a struggle
[00:12.066]It's got a hold on me
[00:14.643]The universal struggle
[00:17.374]It's got a hold
[00:20.485]
[00:21.573]From Sofia, Bulgaria to the New York interior
[00:22.698]You see poverty and crime throughout these areas
[00:26.030]And people with tattered clothes, babies from battered homes
[00:28.790]Pure hard times, just they're dying from that alone
[00:31.669]From U.S. shores, to countries overseas
[00:34.437]This universal struggle's got a hold on me
[00:37.102]Every city's got a ghetto, the prisons are filled
[00:39.679]The police and the military in position to kill
[00:42.486]And I just wanna live my life with less pain
[00:45.145]Seems like only a few moves left ,in this chess game
[00:47.912]I guess change has gotta come soon
[00:50.678]I can't live my life in fear waiting for doom
[00:53.189]And actions of course speak louder than words
[00:56.029]It's much harder when you standing in a crowd to be heard
[00:58.797]So I walk alone and look forward to better days
[01:01.533]I'm not the same anymore, I endured with better ways
[01:04.254]
[01:06.878]It's a struggle
[01:07.206]It's got a hold on me
[01:09.671]The universal struggle
[01:12.101]It's got a hold
[01:15.062]It's a struggle
[01:17.680]It's got a hold on me
[01:20.398]The universal struggle
[01:23.109]It's got a hold
[01:25.914]
[01:27.744]From the hoods of Los Angeles to Toronto, Canada
[01:28.742]You can picture the struggle without no camera
[01:31.564]The wealthy get wealthier, cause that's the aim
[01:34.345]The less fortunate get desperate, and that's a shame
[01:36.989]Who's to blame we complain, nobody responds
[01:39.766]So our only alternative is to try to move on
[01:42.478]And show resilience in the face of danger
[01:45.198]Determination and strength to replace the anger
[01:47.952]Great people of the world rise up from despair
[01:50.660]Historically our kind has always been here
[01:53.420]To lead effectively when we need the recipe
[01:56.318]For peace, so we educate the seed respectfully
[01:58.918]And this is how we beat the struggle
[02:01.733]Staying tuned and keep out the reach of trouble
[02:04.374]The bloodshed, the oppression, the violence, the famine
[02:07.246]We can trace it through various events we examine
[02:09.939]
[02:12.058]It's a struggle
[02:12.622]It's got a hold on me
[02:15.150]The universal struggle
[02:17.597]It's got a hold
[02:20.376]It's a struggle
[02:23.005]It's got a hold on me
[02:26.080]The universal struggle
[02:28.720]It's got a hold
[02:31.614]
