Be Strong

(album: Melodic Therapy 4 The Broken - 2022)

When things go right too long I get paranoid
When it come, if it come, I'll be ready for it
Been fighting this struggle since a little boy
'Cause we were taught to struggle before we learned to soar woah
We struggle, we fighting, the lightning, keeps striking
It's frightening, when you have a losing score
My father, he dying, he crying, and he thought I never saw
He thought I never saw

I can't look lil bro in his eyes
He ain't even old enough to drive
And we just buried our father
Now I gotta to step up and provide
Teach him what I'm still learning about life
Oh I need help god
Hope you're with me every step right or the left one
When the I's turn into us you can't be selfish
And I didn't see my pop before he left us
And my grandma didn't know my uncle was next up
Lord we're broken
Becoming numb to all this coping
Oh send help, and heal us in one motion
Life's a game, bout out of tokens

I'm asking god, when he healing my heart leave a battle scar
Can't get nothing, can't get nothing to go my way
This is life listen, just embrace it before it's gone
Gotta fight til you, I mean fight til you find a way
A way to be strong
A way to be strong
A way to be strong
A way to be strong

I may lose it from time to time
Looking in my sisters eyes
'Cause Mama had 2 strokes left them both traumatized
So you let your tears flow I'm here to wipe your eyes
When you lose hope I'll give you all of mine

'Cause we struggle, we fighting
The lightning keeps striking
It's frightening, when you have the losing score
My mama, she fighting, she trying
But she can't walk or talk
No she can't walk or talk
Lord do you hear my people crying
I ain't lying, I'm bout to lose my mind yea
Cuz when we cope and regain hope another flying
Oh lord why all my people dying

I'm asking god, when he healing my heart leave a battle scar
Can't get nothing, can't get nothing to go my way
This is life listen, just embrace it before it's gone
Gotta fight til you, I mean fight til you find a way
A way to be strong
A way to be strong
A way to be strong
A way to be strong
