[00:00.58]I can see it
[00:03.64]It's funny man
[00:04.46]Cause it's like it's not going nowhere
[00:06.58]And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle
[00:12.75]I see my pain in your eyes man
[00:14.63]So I know you're feelin' me
[00:16.81]It's that twinkle man
[00:17.82]That sign of struggle
[00:18.56]I've seen it
[00:20.63]In me
[00:21.56]Cause everyday I can't help but see it
[00:23.94]People ain't satisfied
[00:26.56]And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
[00:29.32]Everybody wanna live another life
[00:32.69]But every goal or mountain you climb
[00:36.00]Not to better your day
[00:38.63]That do leave room for people to say
[00:42.88]I guess you're livin' better now
[00:45.06]Share a little of that cheddar now
[00:47.56]Cause I remember days back when
[00:50.00]A brother was hustlin and robbin' too
[00:52.75]I done tossed up a letter now
[00:55.44]On a whole nother level now
[00:58.06]Still I can't enjoy my fame
[01:00.18]Unless my people doin' the same
[01:02.07]And gettin' money too

[01:11.56]And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
[01:15.00](Once in awhile I couldn't look at you)
[01:18.75](and see the twinkle in your eyes)
[01:22.81]And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
[01:27.13]Cause everytime you ask me' I'm grindin'
[01:29.50]It shouldn't have to be that way
[01:32.19]You shouldn't have to pay my way
[01:34.63]I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
[01:37.44]Got a little problem on the way
[01:40.07]Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
[01:42.63]Child support lady on your case
[01:45.19]Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid
[01:47.57]Oh
[01:48.56]Is what you'll be askin'
[01:53.19]God please hold it down for me
[01:55.82]Don't let satan get ahold of me
[01:58.50]I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too
[02:03.88]But it happened a lot worse to my brother
[02:06.25]Muhammad thank God he recovered

[02:39.03]And I can see you cryin'
[02:44.34]And inside you're dyin
[02:47.09]We're all the same now
[02:49.59]But you got to make change now
