Everyday you give more to recieve your less  (Why)

I know it's hard to believe that mess  

So when you get home and you feel depressed  

Just put on my tape and relieve the stress



And yo, cut the system let it bleed to death ain't nothing 

But your mission, never leave your quest in 

Pole position - speed up lead the rest

They don't need to rest, they need to see we blessed



Yo, life is like a tide - shit coming and goes

Sombody had to cry ´cus somebody wanted it so 

You have to  fight to feel the harmony flow

But it's hard when the light's both so far and so close



So when you fed up and you tired of life

keep your head up, you'll reach higher heights

Yo get up, for the time is right

My people step up, and shine your light



´Cus all the trouble we've been through

and all of the evil that men do

makes us harder the struggle continues

Come on my sisters and brothers and sing too



Feel how the harmonies link you

while the struggle continues

we´ve got so many things to

say and do now...



I know that life hurts

We all need a night nurse

I need to write words - I need the right words



To come across and make you feel my thirst

Without this so called freedom of speech I might burst

Transform the pain into a tight verse

Sendin' a shout out to all the freedom fighters

throughout the whole U 'n I verse

winning this struggle unless we die first



Yo when you hurt so much that it's hard to speak

and it hurts so much you can hardly breath

You wanna get up and fight but you far to weak 

Feels like a too long night for your heart to beat 

They wanna kiss and make up but talk is cheap

You'd like to dis 'em straight up cus you're scarred to deep

Don't be fooled (never) recognize the mark of the beast

Stay true to yourself and you'll hard to beat.



´Cus all the trouble we've been through

and all of the evil that men do

It makes us harder the struggle continues

Come on my sisters and brothers and sing too



Feel how the harmonies link you

while the struggle continues

We got so many things to

say and do now...



I've seen so many different faces, different places 

I've seen so many people strugglin' no matter the ages 

From your granddads granddad to newborn babies

The answer that they givin' is all the same old phrases



I've seen the pain gone away with medication  

In dirty syringes in dirty stair cases

I've seen lives slaughtered by dictators

Nowadays nothing is news ´cus nothing amazes



I've seen so much that is hard to write

but it seems that's it´s the part of life

and the people who make us apologize 

is the same who make people starve tonight



And when your mind sees no difference between wrong or right

and your life sees no difference between dark or bright

and when not wakin' up is your only spark of light remember:

We got a war to fight!



So when you fed up and you tired of life

keep your head up, you'll reach higher heights

Yo get up for the time is right

My people step up, and shine your light



Cus all the trouble we've been through

and all of the evil that men do

It makes us harder the struggle continues

Come on my sisters and brothers and sing too



Feel how the harmonies link you

while the struggle continues

we´ve got so many things to

say and do now...



The struggle continues til it suddenly hits you

The biggest one is the struggle within you 

Kill out the hate that is bubblin' in you 

before your mental poverty ends you 



Can you hear us?...



All the trouble we've been through

all of the evil that men do (on an´on)

the struggle continues (you gotta sing it)

come on and sing to (you gotta feel it)

the harmonies link you (on an´ on)

and the struggle continues (so many things)

so many things to say and do now



We got, so many things to say and do now...
