Be Strong

[Verse 1: T-Truth] Once upon a time, everybody hated me How can I forget the things they would say to me I've had to face strife, all through my life But this is a place where negativity is right I think a person can live too long We're all weak, but you can never be too strong It's hard tryna get my voice heard Especially when any enemy don't wanna listen to my words I don't do this to get flash cars I don't do this to write trash bars I do this from the bottom of my heart To face up to fears and to play my part And I'm, not here to be part of the scenery I'm not just gonna give up so easily Even when everything's against my will I'll still go cos that's just what it means to me [Hook] *You gotta be strong You gotta be strong You gotta be strong Y-Y-Y-You gotta be strong* [Verse 2] And let the beat drop, yes I won't rest till this test's passed and it's all bless Yes, I go to grammar school, no, I'm not a rich kid I don't st-st-stammer fool, this isn't a hitch, kid So which kid's gonna give me the picture The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer If money talks it ought to shut the hell up Cos this problem's getting bigger and it's gonna swell up Capitalism causes this gulf to expand, it's the Grand scheme of things, we used to be living it up Nothing comes free so now we're giving it up Work cos no-one can help when you extend your hand But currency's not a problem for me As long as I can be the best that I can be Taking the lead, is succeeding wrong? (No!) I believe you need to be strong [Hook]
