Struggla Lyrics by Matisyahu

Struggla

Open up the gate
Let my prayer rise up
And I struggle every day just to get myself up
For the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship
Time again one is bound to slip
We rip through these days
We flip through the age
Survive stay alive we won't trip in the haze
Lost in the maze
I know it's just a phase
But I dread it dread it dread it
I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame

Will be a breeze when you got a big name
Cash fast fast cars to escape all of the pain

Escape your brain and so it stays the same

We would not lay down

We won't live in vain

We won't be drained

And I got to maintain

I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

There's something wrong with the system
That leaves it's people victim

Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up
Try to rise at night but my legs they stay stuck

There's something wrong in the system
That leaves it's children victim

...

I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

...

Open up the gates let my prayer rise up

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss
