The Struggle

[Hook: Scootie]

Even though it doesn't show

Sometimes my shoulders get sore

From carrying what feels like the world

But I thank God that I'm alright

No one else can carry the load

That's why I never gave into

The struggle

[Verse 1]

Yeah, Lord give me strength for this cross

Through this forgiveness with every day that I lost

Mind full of the evil that people against you be lovin'

I'm filled with the corruption of sin, sick, and destruction, yeah

So many skeletons my mind's become a grave site

Spirit so afflicted it's been hard for me to pray at night

Bring into perfection a sinner that lay with the lies, filled with the pride that cast Lucifer out of the sky

My mind lust-driven

Can't keep it off these women

They hittin' my seven on the daily to come and get it

Mailin' in every day I wake, attacked by all the bigotry

Praying for the fruit of the spirit but need a bigger tree

[Hook: Scootie]

Even though it doesn't show

Sometimes my shoulders get sore

From carrying what feels like the world

But I thank God that I'm alright

No one else can carry the load

That's why I never gave into

The struggle

[Verse 2]

At the end of the day I'm just a broken vessel

Tired and stressed out looking for an escape route

And for the longest there was nights filled with fornication - even wives givin' into my affirmation

I tried to mask it prayin' it don't ever reach the surface

I look at my choices and often question: was it worth it?

The fact that I still question that's crazy to me

I lowered my core values knowin' none of that garbage was funny

Got me feelin' bummy

They came to steal and kill

And I ain't lyin' when I tell you that the struggle's real

Hands together, prayin' daily for holy ambitions

And the pure heart fully up to God's vision

[Hook: Scootie]

Even though it doesn't show

Sometimes my shoulders get sore

From carrying what feels like the world

But I thank God that I'm alright

No one else can carry the load

That's why I never gave into
