Strife See all the troubles in my life Have made me stronger and so I I'm gonna make it out this time My mind is feeling sick Temperatures getting higher And my cough won't quit The mother is between the lips I don't wanna go to school mama see There's these kids and I'm the one that they pick on They ain't stripped, I'm grade six They took all of my money, so run me all of your chips All of the chicks laugh, sayin I'm too afraid to take a hit And if we don't get it fixed, I'm out of school, my mind quit That might have been the first moment she told me to get a grip Just stand and show you ain't afraid of nobody else To bad my pops was never around to help me defend myself So now my own teacher struggling strife, the troubles in life Only helped me to realise some of the right And what's left is lessons My grandmama's death is The reason I know now that life is short No life support Her time was hers and she knew this ones for you No more sorrow Just help me smile tomorrow.Through the Strife See all the troubles in my life Have made me stronger and so I I'm gonna make it out this time And this time, we're gonna make it through I can't keep running away but I can't stay with you I gotta learn on my own but you're worrying when I'm grown And these words are as real as sticks and stones breaking your bones I never thought of heaven until I spoke to the reverend 9/11, remember stressin, where's divine intervention when the second plane hit Didn't know it but emotions shown when Hector called said, "I Love You" and that he was coming home And now he's home, we miss you Don't worry about us down here we'll figure out our issues Never lost hoping for others, we helped resurrect it We bleed, scabs to scars and scars turn to lessons Those lessons help us walk, Jack Frost with those friends It takes from heaven descended our hearts we helped mend it Unconditional ending, felt it was coming true This one's for you, no more sorrow, just help me smile tomorrow Strife See all the troubles in my life Have made me stronger and so I I'm gonna make it out this time Strife See all the troubles in my life Have made me stronger and so I I'm gonna make it out this time
