Struggla - Matisyahu

Struggla - Matisyahu Lyrics

[Hook]
Struggla (me nah give up)
Struggla (me nah give up)
Struggla (me nah give up)

[Verse 1]
Open up the gate, let my prayer rise up
And I struggle everyday just to get myself up
From the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship
Time and again, one is bound to slip

We rip through these days
We flip through the age, survive, stay alive
We won't trip in the haze or get lost in the maze
I know it's just a phase but I dread it, dread it, dread it

[Chorus]
But I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla (me nah give up)
Rise and never fall cause I been through it all
I'm a struggla (me nah give up)

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live the life of struggla? (Me nah give up)
Oh, we pay the cost, the pain and all the loss of a
Struggla, me nah give up

[Verse 2]
Sell to the youth them dreams of ease and fame
You life Will be a breeze when you got a big name
Cash, fast, fast cars to escape all of the pain
Escape your brain and so it stays the same

We would not lay down, (keep on fighting)
We won't live in vain (keep on climbing)
We won't be drained (keep rearranging
And I got to maintain (keep elevating)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
There's something wrong with a system
That leaves its people victim
Keep on slipping, can't seem to catch up
Try to rise at night but my legs they stay stuck

There's something wrong in a system
That leaves its children victim
(A part of the plan to destroy the poor man)

Through the pressure we keep elevating
Tribulations, barriers and road blocks
Will come up along the way but that can't hold me back
I'm a struggla, say move more decisive

[Chorus]

[Hook]
