Fight To Survive

Ever wonder why we fight to survive Is it all worth it to live then die No given power to take a life one minute here then gone in a blink of an eye Names fade away with the days people no longer visits your grave Ever wonder why we fight to survive How we tend to forget Why Jesus really died So much sin in this world Turn truth into lies Hate grows stronger then love Barely pray to God above Ever wonder why we fight to survive Everything about a dollar Are if you wear a blue collar Judge not only by your color Many tend to forget where they been There's a man Yeah he's homeless People walk by stare and sigh While he holds up a sigh Wasting away with time Looks for food, place to sleep are how to get a dime to feed his next high Ever wonder why we fight to survive Mother beaten by her children father Bruised but really on the inside She cries Everyday is a battle She lives in here shadow No one cares nothing matters Constant reminder of where you been and about your sin. Ever wonder why we fight to survive Kids having kids Parents in jail can't even make bail Black men killing there brother's When should they be standing strong with one another. Keep letting Satan win, keep falling deeper in sin Ever wonder why we fight to survive Everything's about power Wonder why God knocked down babbles tower Not realizing we come short of his glory Our mind is the devils playground Especially when where down Still wondering why we fight to survive Only get one chance one life Let's do what's right be a warrior we have to survive
