Matisyahu - Struggla

Open up the gate, let my prayer rise up.
And I struggle every day, just to get myself up.
For the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship,
Time again one is bound to slip.
We rip through these days,
We flip through the age,
Survive, stay alive, we won't trip in the haze.
Lost in the maze, I know it's just a phase,
But I dread it dread it dread it.
I won't let my life go to waste,
I'm a struggla.

Rise and never fall, 'cause I been through it all.
So ask yourself and think twice,
Would you want to live your life.
Oh we pay the cost,
The pain and all the loss.

Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame,
Will be a breeze when you got a big name.
Cash fast, fast cars to escape all of the pain,
Escape your brain and so it stays the same.

We would not lay down.
We won't live in vain.
We won't be drained.
And I got to maintain.

I won't let my life go to waste,
I'm a struggla.

Rise and never fall, 'cause I been through it all.
So ask yourself and think twice,
Would you want to live your life.
Oh we pay the cost,
The pain and all the loss.

There's something wrong with the system,
That leaves it's people victim.
Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up,
Try to rise at night, but my legs they stay stuck.

There's something wrong in the system,
That leaves it's children victim.

..

I won't let my life go to waste,
I'm a struggla.

Rise and never fall, 'cause I been through it all.
So ask yourself and think twice,
Would you want to live your life.
Oh we pay the cost,
The pain and all the loss.
Oh we pay the cost,
The pain and all the loss.

Rise and never fall, 'cause I been through it all.
So ask yourself and think twice,
Would you want to live your life.
Oh we pay the cost,
The pain and all the loss.

...

Open up the gates, let my prayer rise up.
Oh we pay the cost,
The pain and all the loss.
