I find honor in the fact
I can't afford to be corrupt
So I find the beauty in the struggle
Every day that I wake up
From the day's that I said "Fuck it"
Blew it off and just got high
To the days my faith in God
Was all I had to get me by
In everything I go through
I always try to find the blessing
So even when I fall
I find the wisdom in the lesson
I continue to look for God
In my every day decisions
To see the spirit of a man
And not be blinded by religion
It's time to raise my voice
So they have no choice but to hear it
As I show the world through poem
The evolution of a spirit
As I say
I know I got to be strong
Even if I ain't got much to go on
Just put these trying times behind you
And find the beauty in the struggle
Lord knows I don't want to be here
So I need his strength to see clear
Don't let these trying times blind you
And find the beauty in the struggle
Ain't nobody perfect
Everyone has fallen down
But the strong continue to carry on
Cause they lift theirselves from off the ground
Do what they think is right
To better their existance
Continue to live their life
And let their choices make the diffrence
For every father's hustles
To put food up on the table
To every mother's struggle
To make sure her family's stable
I know this life is hard
And at times it can leave you breathless
Just know that you are loved
And that your light is precious
So never let them beat you
Never let them hold you down
As we chant down the walls of Babylon
The world will hear the sound
As we say
I know I got to be strong
Even if I ain't got much to go on
Just put these trying times behind you
And find the beauty in the struggle
Lord knows I don't want to be here
So I need his strength to see clear
Don't let these trying times blind you
And find the beauty in the struggle
We find the beauty in the struggle
Cause the struggle is all we got
Take pride in what we have
Even though it ain't alot
Push on and perservere
Even when we make mistakes
And no matter how it hurts
We don't give in to rage and hate
So Lord grant us the strength
To forgive those that do us wrong
And for those that choose to hate
May they find compassion in the poem
Just stand by our side
In these times that we are facing
And let us feel your spirit
In each and every situtation
Then who can be aginst us
As we hold our head up high
And show them that the dream
Of reverend King is still alive
As we say
I know that I got to be strong
Even if I ain't got much to go on
Just put these trying times behind you
And find the beauty in the struggle
Lord knows I don't want to be here
So I need his strength to see clear
Don't let these trying times blind you
And find the beauty in the struggle
