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 struggle
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 struggle
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 struggle
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
