intro: everyday we are faced with government officials doing things that they shouldnt be doing, ripping us off, going to war, and we dont need that shit, not when theres war on our own streets as it is... i need to break a few things down right now, listen

ai'yo
the whole world collapses and relaxes
our people faced with moral dissatisfaction
interactions, aint civil no more in our communities
our young race dont have no good opportunities
homes start to break up n no longer make up
it seems to be money n hate that has to make us
others put in behind all them money makers
instead of helpin the people, n helpin all the races
we all have to struggle here in order to survive
mentally, i get messed up in these emotional tides
love, gets raplaced by crime and unforgiving
made me think again bout this place that im living
sit n watch as the world turns with its drug traffic
and the poor struggle while the rich just sit laughin

hook:
life is hard when mans let the bullets spray
government corruption, its just another day
i want to run away
how can i live for tomorrow when i struggle for today??

repeat

verse 2:
im just tryna live, im testing my will power
lookin around the world devours it by the hour
our headlines hit with, corrupts MP's, missin person
gang shootings, drugs, another person murdered
i cant even bare to think bout the shit that ive heard of
cant make sense, and the shit just gets worse
everyday, theres a war, in everyplace of the world
government fucks u over, wether u man, woman, boy or girl
justice aint shit, when u judged for dressin like a stereotype
officials with white stripes are the ones to put ya life right
its like you cant trust anybody no more
gotta think b4 openin ur own front door
streets have changed, goin from raps to gats
and now its all bout busting and ratta-tat-tat

hook:
life is hard when mans let the bullets spray
government corruption, its just another day
i want to run away
how can i live for tomorrow when i struggle for today??

repeat

verse 3:
kids breakin into flats taking watever they can
wrecking peoples lives for the sake of a grand
u cant deny, that days dont pass by
when the news aint open your eye
children scared to go to school, the shits shocking
not stoppin- thats why we got truancy as a problem
its hard to put it down to one simple reason
for all the civil, when all our public are dis-beleiving
that shit happened since the dawn of time
back when man allowed greed to enter his mind
the dispicable kind, who live better off
aslong as they live good, ne1 else, cant give a toss
so who can change this life that i got??
take there best shot, but ima still get my points across

hook:
life is hard when mans let the bullets spray
government corruption, its just another day
i want to run away
how can i live for tomorrow when i struggle for today??

repeat
