Be Strong

[Intro]
Drizzle B on the beat
Hold on this-this one for lil' bro
(Kado, you way too dope, kid)
Yo
Yo, what's up bro?
What you doing bro?
How you gon' miss Trevor?
Oh, heard
Hey bro, I'm proud of you man
You kept your head up through all this
You know, I know-I know its been a hard, knowing you don't speak on it much and I don't speak on it much
But just know I got your back through everything
I love you man
I love you too bro

[Verse 1]
When things go right too long I get paranoid (I get paranoid)
When it come, if it come, I'll be ready for it
Been fighting this struggle since a little boy (Little boy)
'Cause we were taught to struggle 'fore we learned to soar, woah-woah
We struggle, we fighting, the lightning, keeps striking
It's frightening, when you have a losing score (Score)
My father, he dying, he crying, and he thought I never saw (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 (For real)
Hope you're with me every step, right or the left one (Ooh)
When the I's turn into us, you can't be selfish (No)
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 copin'
Oh send help, and heal us in one motion
Life's a game, 'bout out of tokens

[Chorus]
I'm asking god (God), when he healing my heart leave a battle scar (Ooh, battle scar, yeah-yeah)
Can't get nothing (No), can't get nothing to go my way (Ooh, no-no-no)
This is life listen, just embrace it before it's gone (Gone, this is life, yeah)
Gotta fight 'til you, I mean fight (Fight, fight) 'til you find a way (Gotta fight, gotta fight, gotta fight)
A way to be strong (Ooh, be strong, yeah, be strong, yeah)
A way to be strong (Ooh, be strong, be strong, be strong)
A way to be strong (Be strong, yeah)
A way to be strong (Be strong, yeah, be strong, be strong, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I may lose it from time to time looking in my sisters eyes (My mind)
'Cause Mama had 2 strokes left them both traumatized (Mama)
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 (Ooh-ooh)
The lightning keeps striking
It's frightening, when you have the losing score
My mama, she fighting, she trying (Ooh-ooh)
But she can't walk or talk
No, she can't walk or talk
Lord, do you hear my people crying? (Oh Lord)
I ain't lying, I'm bout to lose my mind, yeah (My mind)
'Cause when we cope and regain hope another flying (Another fly)
Oh lord, why all my people dying?

[Chorus]
I'm asking god (God), when he healing my heart leave a battle scar (That's what I'm asking God)
Can't get nothing no, can't get nothing to go my way (I can't can't get nothing to go my way)
This is life listen (Oh), just embrace it before it's gone (This is life, just live, just live it)
Gotta fight 'til you, I mean fight (Fight, fight) 'til you find a way (Gotta fight, gotta fight, gotta fight)
A way to be strong (Ooh, be strong, yeah, be strong, yeah)
A way to be strong (Ooh, be strong, be strong, be strong)
