lyrics
well i've tried
so strong
to be more than a working bum
but in this game
of funds and sums
i disagree
equality
is meant for me
and for you
and all in between
but as the rich
blame the poor
we search for the door
i been down so long
drownin tears in my songs
wouldn't recognise a win
if it bit me on the lip
livin on struggle street
i may have food to eat
but i'll never be free
never ever truly
everyone i know is good
not much crime in my hood
but deep down there's a hole
in the space that we call 'soul'
struggletown is a place
with no name, with no face
exists ubiquitously
it's in u and me
drugs and drink and sex and culture
is all we need to forget the world is
fucked up
and needs some help
for once in ur life
worry bout someone else
lend an ear
shed some tears
and most of all:
show no fear
well i've tried
but i failed
to be more than a common shill
for a system
that doesn't care
y'all know what i mean
i'm free
but am i really?
and are u too?
ain't it worth askin?
as we fall
deeper, we feel
the struggle is real
we've been down so long
trapped within this crown of thorns
knife in hand, throats are slit
as the world goes to shit
livin on struggle street
plenty food, plenty weed
but we'll never be free
never ever get free
everyone i know is down
dwellin in struggletown
livin lies, fuck the truth
as the old corrupt the youth
we were born to be free
or will be eventually
to live harmoniously
hope: it ain't just a dream
media, religion and school and terror
is what they will feed us to ensure our slavedom
wake up
take shelter
u should know
it could all be better
be the change
you'd like to see
for changin u:
for savin me.
