Strife

Chorus: Anika Hazel
Strife
See all the troubles in my life
Have made me stronger and so I'm
I'm gonna make it out this time

Verse 1: Hydroponikz
Momma I'm feeling sick my temperature is getting higher
And my cough won't quit
Thermometer between the lips
I don't wanna go to school mama see
There's these kids and I'm the one that they pick on
They ain't strict, I'm grade six
They took all of my money, so run me all of your chips
All of the chicks laugh, sayin I'm too afraid to take a hit
And if we don't get it fixed, I'm out of school, momma I quit
That might have been the first moment she told me to get a grip
To stand and show you ain't afraid of nobody else
To bad my pops was never around to help me defend myself
So now I'm my own teacher struggling strife, the troubles in life
Only helped me to realize some of the right
And what's left is lessons
My grandmamas death is
The reason I know now that life is short
No life support
Her time was hers and she knew
This one's for you, no more sorrow
Just help me smile tomorrow
Through the strife

Chorus: Anika Hazel
Strife
See all the troubles in my life
Have made me stronger and so I'm
I'm gonna make it out this time

Verse 2: Hydroponikz
And this time, we're gonna make it through
I can't keep running away but I can't stay with you
I gotta learn on my own be a warrior when I'm grown
And these words are as real as sticks and stones breaking your bones
I never thought of Heaven until I spoke to the reverend
9/11, remember stressin, where's divine intervention?
When the second plane hit
Didn't know it but emotions shown when Hector called said, "I love you"
And that he was comin home
And now he's home, we miss you
Don't worry about us down here we'll figure out our issues
Never lost hoping for others, we helped resurrect it
We bleed, scabs to scars and scars turn to lessons
Those lessons help us walk, Jack Frost with those befriended
With tears from Heaven descended our hearts we helped mend it
Unconditional unended, felt it was coming true
This one's for you, no more sorrow, just help me smile tomorrow

Chorus: Anika Hazel
Strife
See all the troubles in my life
Have made me stronger and so I
I'm gonna make it out this time
