Struggle Everyday - Akon

Im Facing trouble every day

Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow

It’s a struggle every day

Trying not to rob G’s, Steal or Borrow

I need to take it slow

My heart is growing cold

I’m trying to hide my feelings

From the people that I know

And everywhere I go I’m trying to lay low

Can’t afford to get in no trouble because I’m on parole

I’m trying to live life right

God knows with all my might

But I’m just barely getting by

Cuz money’s way too tight

And I can say this right

The struggle and the fight

It’s weakin' all the muscles in my body like kryptonite

Making me feel like there is no other way

But the different streets get that dough

Living and praying for a better day… So!

Im Facing trouble every day

Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow

It’s a struggle every day

Trying not to rob G’s, Steal or Borrow

Streets, I ain’t no longer on it

Don’t need feds all upon it

I done left that life alone

Cuz all I did was impress, my homie!

And then my conscience told me

«Careful you tendarone!»

Always complaining after I ain’t never did

She always lonely.

So what am I to do

Gotta get money for food, cuz if she starves to death

Then I gotta deal with her attitude

And I in that type of mood cuz I ain’t type of dude

It’s bad enough, I gotta deal with all this I’m going thru

It’s making me feel like there is no other way

But the different streets get that dough

Hoping and praying for a better day… So!

Im Facing trouble every day

Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow

It’s a struggle every day

Trying not to rob G’s, Steal or Borrow
