I've been judged all my life

Criticized about decisions I made

Working non stop with limited breaks

Giving six figure efforts

Earning minimum wage

I can't sleep for every blink

There's a cent to be made

I won't rest to until the day of my death

The day they lay me in a grave

And I can say that I gave it my best

Nothing less or I made a mistake

I was lying when I said I was ready to be taken away

Not until the clouds are gone

Long away from grey

Knowing it won't rain where my babies stay

Sunshine over my wife

Watering my seeds

To raise the plants I laid to make a legacy

I won't stop until my organs give up

My heart gives out

My throat gets cut

Whatever deaths got to pitch out

I'm gonna take it to the full count

The last eight ball at the pool house

And even the corner pocket to point out

Sometimes it's gonna be hard

But we can make it better

Sometimes it don't work

So we gotta be stronger

You know that I can feel your pain

I know sometimes it's gonna rain

In this life we live

I'll give you all I got to give

Now I know I'm not the only guy dealing with stress

But why do I gotta be the one that's so familiar with death

It's like

I know I ain't dreaming

But I can't believe it

Either the grim reaper's here or the banshees' screaming

Here to take a star from my movie off of my set

And I'm the film director screaming with the bullhorn

Vexed

And I ain't suicidal

But I'm taking that step to say：

If you come around again

You're making me next

My grandpop passed '02without a clue or a sign at all

My family foundation started to fall

And it was hard losing my grams

She nurtured all the roots of this man

You understand

She was the glue to the fam

It crushed my heart in the hospital seeing her cry

Holding my hand telling me that she was scared to die

I couldn't take it at the wake the straight face she had gave me the shivers

It made me wanna crawl in that coffin with her

Sometimes it's gonna be hard

But we can make it better

Sometimes it don't work

So we gotta be stronger

You know that I can feel your pain

I know sometimes it's gonna rain

In this life we live

I'll give you all I got to give

All I got to give

Is my heart and my love

No I can't give up

On all of the things that I fear

Still I miss you so

I wish that you were here

I had a dream to paint the world that I seen

Then

I seen the world I dreamt

I gave it all I got to give

But I still gotta give more

My little girl's about the only thing I live for

Life ain't a destination it's a journey

So how I made it here to where I am now concerns me

I don't care where I go

I just care how I get there

And watch the world spin while I sit there

Sometimes it's gonna be hard

But we can make it better

Sometimes it don't work

So we gotta be stronger

You know that I can feel your pain

I know sometimes it's gonna rain

In this life we live

I'll give you all I got to give
