Voices Never Heard

I know ya struggle, I know ya pain
But for flowers to grow, it gotta rain
And I know when it rains it pours
But it was already written the world is yours

It's been a long road but giving up is out the question
I drink a lotta liquor that's the cure for my depression
I'm glad to be alive, I swear that it's a blessing
Cuz I been to many funerals, but never to a wedding
I learned at an early age its survival of the fittest
Cuz in the jungle either you a lion or it's victim
Be silent if you witness any crimes that get committed
And I got friends but most of them died or they in prison
Cuz where I'm from most people born at a disadvantage
It's hell on earth I wish I was from I different planet
Cuz life it like a game of spades I got misdeal
So, we can relate if you ain't been broke or missed meals
I just want you to know that I believe in you
Cuz hard times don't last forever but tuff ppl do
And when it's beef it gotta be settled
Cuz ya IQ is higher than the poverty level

I know ya struggle, I know ya pain
But for flowers to grow, it gotta rain
And I know when it rains it pours
But it was already written the world is yours
They say life is a game of chess it's filled with choices
So I had to choose to give a voice to the voiceless
I remember every sentence, I remember every word
Stories never told, and voices never heard

I know some dudes that'll blast the heat
Just to come up off ya chain and to snatch ya sneaks
Nd we don't have terrorist, we just have police
The biggest gang in the world that harass the streets
Roaches crawling in the bed where u have to sleep
The little kids getting killed before they pass ya knee
Dudes is beatin' chicks down just to smack the cheeks
It's people starving and they digging out the trash to eat
Ain't no food in the fridge or the pots in the kitchen
So lil dudes hit the block while they momma is tricking
Boys got no role models cuz they father is missing
The old heads is teaching shit nobody bother to listen
You getting home off of work and you missing ya shit
You call it home invasion we just call hitting a lick
Fiends running round and they sucking duck for a fix
It's girls thirteen and pregnant but it is what is

I know ya struggle, I know ya pain
But for flowers to grow, it gotta rain
And I know when it rains it pours
But it was already written the world is yours
They say life is a game of chess it's filled with choices
So I had to choose to give a voice to the voiceless
I remember every sentence, I remember every word
Stories never told, and voices never heard
