letra de strugglin', strivin' - lojique

[intro]
from dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn
this life, a vapor of smoke, you’re gone
it goes from dusk to dawn, and from dawn back to dusk
have mercy on us, have mercy on us

[verse 1]
it’s like they paved over both sides of the fence
and it’s hard to stay on top of it, like current events
stressin over these headlines, stressin over these deadlines
man, i’m just trying to get in gear, pushin it past the redline
clear view in my rearview but the windshield is cracked and cloudy
on a midnight run, i’m sorry hon, y’all hit the sack without me
hooded sweatshirt is my bed linen
crashed on the couch, head spinnin, burnt out from breadwinnin
but can’t ignore that she brings home more than me
rhetorically consider the dope dealer next door to me
pushin a phat suburban, windows tinted
instead, i’m barely hangin by a thin thread
holdin it together with spit and chicken wire
family been on the back burner long enough to start a kitchen fire
plus i got a lot of other pots bubblin
trouble increasing like chromosomes doublin
don’t want to stand up and admit that i feel powerless
and have my brutal honesty taken for cowardice
so no matter how alarming or disarming the facts
i’m too busy cuttin down trees to sharpen my axe

[chorus]
strugglin, strivin, put my eight to five in
keep keepin on, keep keepin hope alive and
strugglin, strivin, put my eight to five in
keep keepin on, keep keepin hope alive and
strugglin, strivin, put my eight to five in
keep keepin on, keep keepin hope alive and
strugglin, strivin, put my eight to five in
keep keepin on, keep keepin hope alive

[verse 2]
god bless america
how can you ask him to bless a godless america
i’m nothing more than an odd wretch aware of the
blatant sense of entitlement we have as a nation regardless of character
oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light
con artist showing them pearly whites
similar to heavenly gate, but they lead to destruction
of a rebel nation that wouldn’t heed the instruction
caught with a mouthful of swine flesh
now taste the grapes of wrath as god himself treads the winepress
oh, what a fine mess we’ve got ourselves into
what you sow is what you reap, what else is new
eat, drink, and party, for tomorrow we die: their prime directive
in sorrow we cry, who view it from divine perspective
and couldn’t find the thought too enticing
of trading in the peace that christ brings for chasing nice things
and that’s just the icing on the birthday cake, the earth may quake
but the tremor is drowned by the sound of the mirth they make
wallowing knee-deep in their own vomit and feces
so much for being the dominant species
truth really ain’t stranger than fiction
it won’t endanger the mission if you don’t change your conviction
and god, i pray no matter how intense the pain
you give me the strength to keep going against the grain

[outro]
and god, i pray no matter how intense the pain
you give me the strength to keep going against the grain
and god, i pray no matter how intense the pain
you give me the strength to keep going against the grain
from dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn
this life, a vapor of smoke, you’re gone
it goes from dusk to dawn, and from dawn back to dusk
have mercy on us, have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
lord, have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
lord, have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
lord, have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
have mercy on us (have mercy on us)
lord, have mercy (lord, have mercy!)
