Darkness is persistent in these times that we’re living in

Don’t give in to the devils temptation to be your only friend

See sinning is the fate of the world and we’re all dying to win

So tell me if I do a little wrong will god still let me in?

Shit.

I’m tired of playing games with myself

Family, wealth and good health, seem to be the only things that help

So we strive and we struggle, created our own hustle

But trouble, it always finds us when we have a lack of muscle to fight with

Hard to deny it when it comes so easy

Get some work in the morning, can be gone by the evening

Stress levels become lowered when the family is eating

Read them simple books to long, you might forget life’s meanings

Believe within yourself your guaranteed to see some change

May take longer than you’d like, and probably won’t happen today

But stay ahead of the darkness and a light will guide your way

Into a future bright enough to make the world recognize

That you are just a young man that they never gave a chance to

It’s fucked up but your daddy don’t even know that he had you

They put that nigga away, with no hesitation for nothing and left you without footsteps

To follow except a mother, but tell me how is a woman supposed to support a family?

And at the same time teach a boy how he’s supposed  act like a man?

See we're caught up in a cycle, lost inside our own mistakes

To busy living in a rush when really time is all it takes.
